the story has dragged on to long.

Revisado: 04-10-25

introduction of new characters that are almost the same as old characters. I hope at some point the storyline will have a climax worth reading book after book of a story that just keeps repeating itself.

The hollowness of Hollywood has made it to LitRPG

Revisado: 01-24-24

The narrator has been an artist I've trusted in the past so I gave these books a try. He has a good sense of tempo while reading action or dioloh scenes. He reads his female character with a slight rise in tone, to indicate that it's feminine charectet but keeps it within his range of easy vocal tension which helps him not sound like he's mocking women when he speaks with a high voice. There are some narrators out there that are ruining good books because they don't know how to manage their vocal cords within their own range.
The one good thing the writer has going for him is he can create a tempo within the fight scenes, which is not easy. The real problem is no one hires good editors anymore. I don't know who produced this book, if it was Audible or somebody else but this book needed an editor more than any other book I've read over the last 3 years and there's been some bad ones. One of the first rules any good writer says, and everybody knows this but "Write what you know." The author clearly knows nothing about danger and threat, yet he wrote two offle books about a group of people under constant threat. For some reason he thought that reasonable people, or people even with a lick of Common Sense, would stop and have a conversation about their feelings or some fake banter while the enemy that they can't see is right out last the light, just killed one of them. I mean the writer tells us through the eyes of a character that the enemy it's just right out there stalking them and close. But for some soap opera drama he has the characters stop and chit chat loudly about their feelings of not belonging, and he still wants us to take them serious as potentially dangerous badasses. You dont have to be some special forces person to know that you shut the hell up when you're under threat and you don't know where the threat is at. Hell, a 6-year-old kid going on a caper to steal some cookies, knows it's a dumb idea start chit-chatting and yelling to friends bad jokes while they're trying to sneak a cookie. You don't know what you're writing about. it's awful. I don't trust you as a writer. Do you think your Reeders are dumb? All we hear is you as a writer pupeting every character you create. Not one of them is authentic, you're just daydreaming a bad daydream. You need to hire a good editor. They could have pointed out inconsistencies and maybe you might have learned something.

Dumb dumb dumb

Revisado: 06-28-23

I listen to the first books in this series gave them a pass as they were competent and somewhat interesting. completely failed on this. I won't listen to the rest of the series. For the love of God, develop an actual plot line so you don't have to pull s*** out of your ass.

Narrator runed the book, though the story sucked

Revisado: 06-16-23

Christian Gilliland, you haven't found your calling yet; keep looking; at the very least, stop trying to use a feminine voice when you are reading. Do you hate women or something? You make them all sound like morons. I know the writer didn't give you much to work with, but Jesus, you make them sound dumb with your fake voice.

Writers keep publishing s*** like this

Revisado: 05-26-23

Has the craft of editing left the publishing business? Constant drama for drama's sake. The characters don't actually have real purpose behind their actions. I've lost all faith in Audible and the science fiction industry. f****** trash.

These characters are getting worse.

Revisado: 11-24-20

Way too much hype about this book. Every character, and I mean every one, struggles with the same feelings of inadequacies and failure and they willow in it in every chapter. The story has a wired religious feeling to it, like self loathing is somehow the most important thing for his characters to be heros. I'm done with Mr Sanderson's work, too damn mellow dramatic.

as brilliant as ever

Revisado: 09-26-20

Nobility made foolish, Brutality made comical, and wisdom always born to late from the tragic. The best catcher development in science fiction.

show not tell

Revisado: 04-12-20

the story had the classic character of a kid who is special because he's got ancient Magic. he's driven from his home by the villagers, goes on an adventure baba baba blah. However they author tells us that each character is the most powerful warrior or the most powerful sorcerer or the most evil demon. The author keeps telling us that they are the most of the most character yet they continually make naive childish decision so that the story can have some drama... I fucking hate that. straight up artificial drama.

terrible

Revisado: 09-23-19

The author is clearly into the magic world he has created, and that's the best thing going for this series. Probably the worst character development I've ever read. I flat out grew to hate the characters: fucking morons. They make the dumbest decisions over and over and over again. The author intended the main character to be a young naive but super badass smart guy but in actuality he's dumb dumb dumb. This story reads like the author wrote out a map of what he wanted to happen then stuck to it no matter what. He would make the characters push the story along even though the actions they took didn't fit them. I don't think I'll ever read another one of his books.
