Good story line poor execution.

Revisado: 12-10-17

While the narrator has a pleasant voice and does accents, she sounds the same in very calm scenes or action packed scenes. Had trouble staying awake. That being said, I really can’t tell if this is a good book or not. I really like the story line but sometimes felt I was in a fashion magazine nightmare. Very much considering putting it back on the shelf. It’s a shame.

Theo Waitley sections of this series not my favorite.

Revisado: 06-08-17

While I like being filled in on events I find the Theo Waitley books tedious and have difficulty telling discussions of Ship emotion from events. I miss a lot because I feel like I'm drowning in so much space seaweed I can't tell when something is actually happening. Plus it plays the ploy of merely being an episode rather than a book. So wait til it becomes a trilogy to call it a book.

An OK story about details leaves a few out.

Revisado: 11-06-16

I purchased this book because of the Narrator. I am enchanted with the voice of Elizabeth Rogers and her ability with NE USA accents. Waiting for another Archer's Beach book to show up. The is about observing details to solve crime. So, one scene in the book really bothered me and clued me to more places where the writers really needed to pay attention. The protagonists went out into a 110 degree desert without water, had a gun fight then stood in the heat an hour and a half more answering questions to authorities. No mention of discomfort or need for water. Ummm, Not! The book pays close attention to visual, auditory and even aural clues but almost none to the senses of the skin and environment. Still, it was an OK story If I were an editor, I would have sent the manuscript back for re-working before publishing. I may read next in series because it has a higher customer rating. Perhaps they have worked out such issues. I'll have to read some to find out.

Wonderful writing style

Revisado: 10-04-16

Maria Dahvana Headley has a wonderful writing style and the first several chapters of her book were a joy to listen to. However as it moved into fantasy I had a great deal of trouble suspending belief in order to join her world above the clouds. The world building did not convince me. Still, I listened to the whole book and enjoyed her style if not her world building.

WE are not impressed

Revisado: 09-25-16

Yevgeny Zamyatin may have been the first to write a story like this but I don't buy that robot to lust and jealousy constitutes a soul. It was more like complete control to complete (emotional at least) loss of control.

Reincarnation? or Alternate Universes? Maybe Both

Revisado: 09-23-16

Well I sure got a small idea how her brand of re-incarnation can be. While I have had enough of the first reading, this is probably a book I will read again when I want to feel my head spinning. I can't really rate it the way I want because the author deserves more stars just for putting it together. It cover's every mother's nightmares over accidents that might happen to their children then goes on to what coulda, woulda, will be. Enjoy if you like a mental roller coaster.

Complex and Simple. Sometimes horrifying.

Revisado: 09-14-16

A story that will keep me thinking for awhile about how we survive by denial. Very interesting take on things. Also was glad to hear Anna Fields again. One of my favorite narrators lost to us.

A story that needs to be told.

Revisado: 09-14-16

I know something about the issues in this story, so I continually wanted to beat the young protagonist over the head for her stupidity. Still I was glad there was no cliche ending.

I like the series. Very entertaining. It is a good story. Sometimes I wish the narration was a bit slower.

Good Story, narration still painful

Revisado: 07-11-16

I have greatly enjoyed all of the Liaden series books. However the Arc of the Covenants series read by Kevin T Collins are painful to listen to since all the Liaden characters have all been given BAD British accents, where they didn't exist before. Don't now if it was reader's choice or director's choice but it was a bad decision. It was and still is, actually painful to have the characters qualities slaughtered by the narration. That being said, I am buying the written editions where I don't have to fight the narration to get to the story.

However, narration has improved somewhat in that the accents are toned down somewhat from the last Kevin T Collins narration but still, to me, very irritating. I have to work too hard to get to the very good story.
