Ugh

Revisado: 01-30-25

Just the worst piece of drivel I’ve ever listed to. I wanted to like it soo bad. However, the characters lacked real depth, even though there’s seemingly progression and story building it feels awkward and forced.

Dang Good Listen

Revisado: 11-10-23

Where to start? The narrator was amazing, in so sad I only got to listen to him for 6ths. His voice was so velvety. -Ahem. Anyway, not only was the narrator great but for what it is it’s a pretty dang good book. And this is coming from someone who usually doesn’t like novels with a “love interest” element. Not to mention it’s a gay novel without gregarious “intimate” scenes. This book and world makes gay characters seem more real and less one-dimensional, which I think a lot of queer/gay books tend to do.

It’s a must listen.

Heartwarming

Revisado: 08-28-23

Probably the most heart warming book I’ve had the pleasure to listen to in awhile. The characters has so much personality, were thought provoking and really helped to bring the colors of the story to life.

You really get to follow the character and truly see a very complicated emotional development as they grow in the book.

If you really think about it, the book was a reflection of reality. Especially the 1960’s civil rights movement. It was great to see how the book really mirrored a time where there was strife for a subset of people. However the author does a great job in taking that and showing what the power of love can do to create change.

There was one thing I thought was a bit not to my taste, specifically the metrical aspect of the writing. It was very poetic. This didn’t take away from the story in any way. In fact I think it added to it. But it make me realize that I prefer language in prose.

Either way, You wont be disappointed.

Another good one

Revisado: 07-13-23

Pretty darn good installment. There’s not much growth in relation to the main character but if you love overpowered OP’s (like I do) then it’s fine. Still interesting new characters being introduced and the plot is moving along. I enjoyed it

Another Great Listen

Revisado: 07-12-23

It was a great book. The world building was pretty awesome. I like how the author built up the system itself and you’re always discovering something new along with the characters. It’s a breath of fresh air away from the traditional fantasy style LitRPG.

Regret

Revisado: 07-08-23

You ever regret something? That was me every time I listened to this book. I finished it for the sake of finishing it. But yeesh it was redundant, the main character lacked real evolution of feeling/depth. Idk, the action was pretty awesome but that couldn’t overshadow the lack of substance from the book.

It’s Great!

Revisado: 07-08-23

Thai is an amazing listen. The characters make you really identify with them. It followed the complexity of the “gray” area many of us probably face daily. The pacing is great, maybe a little fast but it could also be that I didn’t want the book to end.

A complete bore

Revisado: 04-17-23

I started listening to the book and didn’t stop because it was background noise. But the narrator initially was okay. Then I realized there was absolutely no inflection anywhere. No sense of real connection between him and the characters.

The characters seemed to lack depth. Nothing they did made me care.

That’s all I have to say.

I had to…

Revisado: 04-07-22

I listened to the book he used I bought it and I was too late to return it. At one point it just turned into background noise. The story started off pretty interesting. But that was it. It was lackluster. The main character had no real development though out until like the last hour. It was just a repetition of the same mistakes and not learning from them. Then a convenient plot moving event. Rinse. Repeat. The only saving grace was Nick Podehl.

I couldn’t make it until the end

Revisado: 03-21-22

The performance was great. There was a lot the book touched on (including mental health and mental disabilities). However, the entire plot lacked intricacy. You can literally guess the entirety of the book maybe an hour in. I will say the saving grace is the accuracy regarding verbal pander in the queer community. Spot on, very silly and amusing.
