Not really an audiobook.

Revisado: 11-29-23

This is more like listening to a detective tv show with the tv turned off. The “story“ consists of bits of dialogue mixed with foley sounds. It’s like the publisher tried to do something cool but it came out mediocre and confusing.

Battle after battle with a thin storyline.

Revisado: 10-13-23

The book is written go someone who is fully indoctrinated into the US military culture. There are many unexplained military(?) acronyms. The good guys kill a bunch of people and it’s great, but it’s awful when one of them gets injured or killed. I spent too much time being annoyed by this book.

Need to read other old SciFi first?

Revisado: 09-28-23

So much of the book references old SciFi series, Barsoom and the Lensman series. I had not read either of these, so it felt like this book kept referring to things that I didn’t know about. It makes the book dry and confusing in large sections.

Coming of age with Magic

Revisado: 05-05-23

The author manages to write a coming of age novel that includes magic without fallowing the expected pattern. The book is clever and clean while maintaining some grit. Both my daughter and I loved it.

Light fun and engaging.

Revisado: 10-07-22

Based on reading other reviews, I was expecting that the mood might be ruined by the early pandemic setting and the author’s supposed political rants. This was not the case.

The book is marked by its setting in history, but that doesn’t impact the story to a large extent. The writing was interesting and funny at times, and with enough awe and action to keep me listening longer than I had planned. Some lines literally made me laugh out loud - caution if you listen in public.

The book comes to a satisfying conclusion, but I hope the author gets around to writing a sequel sometime.

A wonderful cast of characters, in interesting circumstances

Revisado: 07-15-22

I love most of P. G. Wodehouse’s books, especially when they’re read by a British gentleman with a quite adjustable voice like this one. Most of all I love the characters in these books, and this one is a fine example! There are characters I fell in love with, and others I enjoyed despising. And to make it a real story and not just biographies, this book has interesting circumstances and surprises. All together a wonderful read that I’d suggest to anybody who likes old fashioned rom-coms.

Good series, worth your time.

Revisado: 09-04-20

The authors do a great job in knitting together several storylines in a classic sci-fi what-if scenario. Of the series, I liked book 2the best, but all are worth reading. Book three ends with room for a fourth book, but it’s not available yet.

Good end to a great series.

Revisado: 04-08-20

I was hesitant to buy this final book in the series due to all of the negative reviews, but I really enjoyed this story. It brought things to a close in a way that was satisfying and most of the loose ends were tied. There’s only the faintest glimmer of an opportunity for a new series afterwards.

Disappointing story

Revisado: 12-08-19

The story meanders to a lackluster conclusion. It almost gets interesting for a while, but then not. There are also several unnecessary sex scenes in a story that would have been better G rated.

Disappointing

Revisado: 08-20-19

The novel is presented as being YA, but then it starts with an unnecessary sex scene. The storyline is simple, and the characters are flat and uninteresting. The only redeeming quality was that it was free.
