Another rich entry in an outstanding superhero universe!

Revisado: 03-26-25

Another great entry in a series that features such rich world building and a cast of unique characters. The LGBTQ representation in these book is amazing and I love how the author has attacked some of the issues she has seemed to side-step in previous installments around the relationship between the Community and government, especially police and police-adjacent entities. I’m excited to see where this world goes after the events of this book!!

If you liked the TV show, you’ll love this book!

Revisado: 02-21-23

We recently discovered the AMC TV series based on this book and it’s sequels, and wanted to spend more time in Diana’s world. This book didn’t disappoint. Can’t wait to read the next one!

A Disappointing Conclusion

Revisado: 08-20-19

When I read the summary, and found out this was the last novel of the Change series, I had a feeling I would be disappointed, and I was. To not get any glimpse of the far-future of this universe was truly frustrating. More so, even, than the Island in the Sea of Time series conclusion. You could tell that the author was just “done” with this story and just wanted it over with.

Interesting, but Not in the Same League as Ready Player One

Revisado: 07-19-15

Interesting, if thin, premise, but where it really fell apart for me was the characters. Zach was the only character I could engage with, while the, likely, most interesting character, Lex, was sidelined, only permitted into the plot as either love interest or plot device. Disappointing.

Solid Outing, But Missing Something

Revisado: 05-18-15

A solid and entertaining outing, but missing something, compared to most of the entries in this series. Some great character moments, but it felt like we were just biding our time until we can address one of the major through plots of the last few books (all the more urgent after the tragedy in this books' b-plot).

Glad For the Re-recording!

Revisado: 05-02-15

Glad for them releasing a Marsden-narrated version of this book, but wish they'd paid a bit more attention to the production values. The recording quality seems a bit sub-par when compared to other recent books in the series.

Bottom Line: Can't Wait for the Next One!

Revisado: 02-08-15

Great story, great characters, and great narrator. Love the gravity that's settling on Harry's shoulders. Next entry can't come soon enough!

Solid Second Outing

Revisado: 01-17-15

Solid second outing in the Reckoners series. Really shook things up and built out the universe. Wish they'd gone down a slightly different path, but excited to see how the author plays things out.

Inspiring and Depressing at the Same Time

Revisado: 02-13-12

An intriguing look at the changes afoot in the knowledge economy, and what it might mean for startup and big-business culture going to forward. At the same time, it's depressing that we aren't there, yet, and may not be in my productive lifetime, if I don't change career paths.

Long Time Coming, Somewhat of a Letdown

Revisado: 02-13-12

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

If you're a fan of the Shadow books, then this is something you've been waiting for for a while. Unfortunately, it's a bit of a letdown in that department. It's a good part 1, but I was expecting more.

What was most disappointing about Orson Scott Card’s story?

I'd say the most disappointing thing about this story was how short it was and how the only truly significant event was an entirely foreseeable character death. I was also disappointed in Card's lack of attention to continuity, though I'm probably one of the few who would catch the error(s), given how many times I've listened to Ender's Shadow.

What about the narrators’s performance did you like?

The narrators of this story (as with all of Card's books) were stupendous.
