What a letdown

Revisado: 09-20-24

After beermug survives yet again and is walking out armor for the rest of the characters for a while new book I just can't keep going. This reads like fan fiction for a better series, complete with self inserts and invincible dog. There are many questions asked but no answers. Many interesting directions to take the story that go nowhere. Don't bother.

Just skip Tala chapters

Revisado: 08-06-24

Decent characters without a story. Tala is just the worst, a stupid child who's only purpose, like all children in media, is to be stupid and cause problems for real characters. Skip her chapters, you won't miss anything.
The antagonists are comically evil and the ones at home are completely bipolar, going from cruel and murderous to soft and caring within sentences. It just doesn't make sense.
On world building, could you not have come up with anything better than macguffins and Christianity? Weapons of angels (that just seem like good weapons but not special beyond that?) and stones (that are stones) with some Christianity caked onto every available moment. Down to the Prophet on a cross who died for humanities sins. It's just so lazy.

Juvenile and gross. Idiots moving a plot forward.

Revisado: 11-08-22

Awful, awful book that was painful to listen to. The main character is a massive idiot for the sake of the plot moving forward, and the relationships he has with any woman are just gross. Skip this one. There's a good idea there but the vastly unlikable cast of characters and especially the disgusting way romance is portrayed isn't worth it. I can't believe how much I hate this book.

More powder!

Revisado: 05-06-20

I thought the ending was a little weak compared to previous books but I was satisfied. I do wish they had kept the same narrator from the first 2 books though. It was pretty jarring to get used to a new narrator after binging the other two but he does a good job.

Excellent

Revisado: 03-03-20

It does seem like a repeat of the first trilogy in general terms when reading the story, but that really isnt necessarily a bad thing. Excellent book.

Very Good Book!

Revisado: 12-26-19

Excellent book and an amazing performance! My only gripe is that sometimes the sound effects they have get overdone/get in the way of the story by being so loud at times.

I'm so confused.

Revisado: 09-26-19

When did Ringill get magic powers? How does he go from plague to grey places? Eggar getting bored and finding the aldrane seems kind of contrived. A lot of confusion in this book, but I haven't gotten to the third yet so maybe it'll make sense there?

Post Science Fiction all the way into Fantasy

Revisado: 04-20-19

I adored this series. It's one of my favorites and I have just finished my second reading. Of course I have my complaints as nothing is ever perfect, but they're small in the face of the actual story. I cried, I laughed, and in the end I'm very happy with the ending of these books.

Comments:
1: The narrator is great but she mispronounces words she got right in the previous books which was jarring.
2: I want MORE! I need to know more about the world of Abeth! Where are The Missing, where did the ancestors come from? I'd like another series something like 200 years later

Distracted by the shiny

Revisado: 12-29-17

I enjoyed the book, I thought the beginning was very tough to get through and it went out of its way to be extremely vulgar in the beginning but it certainly picks up!

Satisfying end to a great series

Revisado: 11-14-17

I have been anticipating this for years and I was not disappointed. Fantastic narration and a great end to a series I've followed for years.
