Hate to see it end

Revisado: 06-13-23

It’s been a crazy ride but I loved every minute of it.

As a series it’s one of the best (best) I’ve ever read.

Much better than expected

Revisado: 11-20-21

I’ve had this bookmarked on RR for awhile. I was never sure if the premise was interesting to me. I decided to give this a shot since it’s a long audible book and I’m already suffering from Cradle withdrawal. This is exactly what I needed. The story is excellent and I can’t wait for book 2 and 3 to be released on audible. There are a few times the author repeats the same info but it’s not, in my opinion, worth stressing about.

How many times can I say “it was amazing”?

Great story!!

I first read this book in the late 80’s. Yes I’m old. I have since read it and Blood Star multiple times. It’s one of those stories that fill a void when I can’t find anything else worth reading so I was pleasantly surprised to find out it had been made into an audiobook.
I gave the performance 4 stars, it’s probably closer to 4.5+.

I highly recommend this audiobook and anxiously await Blood Star.

addictive mess

Revisado: 02-05-21

Let’s start with the bad...
Character dialogue is poor
MC has no/very few redeeming qualities - kill and/or rob everyone for ....reasons.
Words and lines are repeated, constantly
Narration is poor. One of the voices sounded like John Wayne and I’m pretty sure Rob Ruggle narrated some of it. Basically it’s not a speech pattern i would associate with wuxia/xianxia.

The good
Call it a guilty pleasure but i found the story to be addicting. I believe it’s because the MC feels no remorse for anything. Would I recommend it? Probably but I would absolutely feel the need to share my complete impression vs just saying yes.
MC is OP so there is never any pressure or stress listening to the story. I don’t usually like this but it does make for a relaxing listening experience.

Pleasantly surprised.

I bought this book because of the narrator. It just so happens that the story is amazing.

I was hesitant to buy the book because the MC is a child. As an old guy it feels creepy to buy that type of story. No need to worry. In short, grown ups soul/psyche in a child’s body. This is a new concept to me.

Refreshing

Revisado: 12-28-19

a unique perspective on war and a combat vets viewpoint. Most war stories involve people being traumatized by their experience, which is a valid feeling. The title is a perfect description of this story. Mat unapologetically enjoyed his time in the military and war. I highly recommend book.

I downloaded this audiobook because it was 43 hours. I’ve hear of the story etc for awhile but didn’t find the description to be appealing. Add to that a narrator I’ve never heard of and and audio sample that’s not very good. Basically I was ready to return this book within the 1st hour if it didn’t wow me. it didn’t wow me but it was still very good so I kept listening. I’m very happy i did keep listening.

Story: amazingly exceptional. This is not the typical story I would read or listen to on a regular basis. I’m only 25% of the way through but felt this deserves the review asap. Why? Example: There’s a scene with one of the main characters playing chess. Playing chess...one of the most emotional reads I’ve experienced since Whiskeyjack died.

Narrator: She could read the phone book and I’d buy the audio version of it. I don’t want to compare her to other narrators because we all like different things in narrators. Each main character has a very distinctive sound to their voice and the raw emotion she’s able to convey is astounding.

Secondary topics: so far there are two main characters. both are young ladies who are written exceptionally well, in my opinion. They are strong and smart with strengths and weaknesses and with none of the overt hyper feminist messaging. When they need help it’s not because they’re weak, it’s because the the situation demands multiple people to overcome the obstacle. When they are able to overcome or influence situations it’s not because they are women, it’s because they are intelligent individuals with a different perspectives.

Author: I haven’t done a thorough search but from what I’ve seen the author wants to stay anonymous. That’s a pretty smart thing to do, just sayin’. With that said I’d like to impart a big thank you to Pirate Aba.
