All great series come to an end

Revisado: 11-25-21

This has been a great series and I have really enjoyed it. It seems now that the author has run out of ideas on where to take this adventure and has resorted to pop culture to maintain any interest. However the pop culture references were clunky and out of place

There were some bright spots that explained the history and politics of this world and how they evolved. Unfortunately there were not enough to make this a good listen. That’s too bad. I really liked this series

The author left enough hanging to continue the series, but I think this is a good place for me to stop

Disappointing

Revisado: 10-08-20

I have to admit that I approached this book with high expectations. I absolutly adored Eldest and the story of Eragon. This book didn't come close. The characters were under-developed and I couldn't relate to any of them, which surprised me because I thought this was one of the authors strongest talents. The story was somewhat interesting in places but fell short in maintaining a cohesive narrative. The conflicts were resolved too conveniently to mirror any kind of reality and powers would show up, just in the nick of time, to save the human race. I've read worse, but I expected so much better from this author.

I wish the author the best of luck and hope he continues to add his mark on Sci-Fy Fantasy. I believe in your talent... I just think you can do better.

Surprisingly Good!!!

Revisado: 04-05-18

I had just finished with a rather intricate series that required a lot of my attention and was looking for something lighter and less consuming. I found this book delightful and fit perfectly into that niche. I also found a level of sophistication that I didn't expect and was quite delighted as the story unfolded. Beyond the obvious plausibility issues with how fast our young hero progresses and his sudden transformation into a new world, there was good character development. I was quite pleased to find the women were not mindless bimbos and had history, culture and real life issues with the situation. I would like to see that developed a bit more if the series continues.

Although this book definitely awakened the adolescent 15 yo in me, it also left me wanting to follow the greater cause to its conclusion. I would rate this book to be mid-level... but with a lot of promise to become greater. The story line is there... the character development has a good base and the writing style is excellent. I look forward to the next chapter.

Appropriate for an 11 yo

Revisado: 03-26-18

If you like golden dragons, blue trees and orange horses, this book might scratch that itch. It has the imagination that I look for in a fantasy novel... but just didn't flow well. The narrator didn't help much... moving from scene to scene leaving the reader wondering who she was talking about. I won't be continuing with this series, but it is age appropriate for YA.

Editors note: Please check the word "Speculum". The context in which it was used here does not match my definition

Disappointing

Revisado: 01-24-18

I really enjoyed the first 3 books in this series... This one... not so much. Way too much instruction on how to pick up girls and not enough story line. The story that was presented was shallow and unimaginative. A real disappointment after such a great start on the first three books in this series.

The performance was great. John Lee did an excellent job. Unfortunately he didn't have much to work with.

Too dark for my taste

Revisado: 12-24-17

I kept waiting for our young hero to emerge, but the endless discussion on torture and dismemberment got the better of me. I couldn't read on any more. I still love Tim Gerald Reynolds... a class act

A Good Read

Revisado: 08-26-16

I really enjoyed this series and found the narration to e quite good. It was fun and kept me guessing on where the story would take me next. The underlying theme of "The One" is very well intertwined with the story line and links the series together very well. The author is imaginative and well skilled in story telling.

Please Enjoy

A Good Read

Revisado: 03-31-16

I was taken by the authors depth in her character development. She did a great job in differentiating between innocence and naïve. I thought it started slow, but when she started tying the characters together through Meg, I could see the bonds she was forming throughout the community. By the end of this book, I was enthralled and could not put it down. I was not disappointed, the ending was excellent
