Outstanding!

Revisado: 02-27-23

I enjoyed this book very much. It was quite different from other Roman historical novels that I have read. The mysticism, seen of Ancient Egypt, seen through the eyes of a legionary, was fascinating. I look forward to the next book in the series.

A horrible finish.

Revisado: 01-09-23

I was throughly loving the series until the last few chapters. The completely horrific decision by the lead character to crucify a child ruined the book entirely. He was brutal throughout, but relatable and often unexpectedly kind. This single act was so disgusting and out of character it made me hate the entire thing. I’m a war veteran and not at all squeamish, so it’s not that I balk at the horrors of war, but the centurion surly had lost comrades before and wouldn’t have suddenly snapped. It was a cheap disservice to a great character. I didn’t finish the book and won’t read anything else by this author. What a truly disappointing end.

Enjoyable to a point.

Revisado: 10-14-22

In the first books, I loved the world, The Watch and The Invisible College, The author is very talented, but the books are becoming too cumbersome with endless introduction of side characters. The most interesting and fun character was Mr. Mole who left too early. I really enjoyed the books at first, but I really needed a list to keep the characters and their plotlines all straight. I started to make one and then realized that I didn't want to work that hard for books that weren't holding my interest any longer. If the author would just keep to a core cast it would be easier to follow. When my mind starts to drift away from the story, I know I am bored and need to put it down.

If the author starts a new series, I will definitely give it a try.

Harry Dresden Fan Fiction

Revisado: 12-03-19

This is definitely Dresden Files lite. The author has directly lifted the superficial elements, but these shallow booklets lack the originality, depth, humor or the excellent writing of Jim Butcher's great series.

Fun and quirky.

Any additional comments?

I love this book. Stick with it. May seem like a slow start, but I didn't want to turn it off. It's funny, dark and wonderful. It's different and it kept me guessing. Not the typical fantasy. Original characters and world. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Can't get past the terrible reader.

What would have made Pawn of Prophecy better?

I've listened to hundreds of audio books and this is the only one that couldn't get through because the reader was so bad. He didn't do a single voice the same, from sentence to sentence, never mind from one book in the series to another. Literally, the first part of a sentence of one particular character, went from bad Russian, to bad Cockney and then ended with an American accent. It was so distracting, I couldn't finish the book. Please rerecord and I would give it another try..

What didn’t you like about Cameron Beierle’s performance?

Terrible inconsistent character accents.

What did you love best about The Crown Tower?

The series is brilliant in every way. Great characters. Funny, exciting and well just very well written. Narration is wonderful.

Royce and Hadrian are fantastic. The perfect opposites that make a great team.

What does Tim Gerard Reynolds bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Smooth with perfect pitch to fit the story.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes and I didn't want it end.

Any additional comments?

Just spend that credit...you won't be disappointed!

Desperately seeking an editor.

Revisado: 11-09-12

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

Editing. This book is over 30 hours long and it could have been half of that.

Any additional comments?

This book would only appeal to folks that love sitting around talking about math, geometry, math, physics and math and math and theories about math and physics and more math theories and little else. This book is nothing but characters talking about theory theory theory theory, then a tiny bit of action. More talking about theory theory theory theory and a tiny bit more action....and on and on and on. It is not entertainment. Its home work. The world that the author created was interesting but after hours and hours of theories by characters sitting around speculating and theorizing some more, I started shouting for them to just shut up and get on with the story.
