The concept is pretty cool, but the execution is lacking. Dumb decisions, aimless plot, mediocre characters. Lots of promise but absolutely no depth.

I like the Robinson - Bray duo, however this story seriously misses the mark. The first person present perspective from an allegedly 13 year old is challenging. The secret half god society is a bit derivative. I was really looking forward to this series, but bailed halfway through book 2 because the story wasn't compelling and the character was super lame.

The voice acting in the audible version was great! The characters were complex and detailed. The story was engaging and heartwarming. The only issue I had was the unrealistic and contrived manner in which Annie Lee's deep dark secret was maintained until literally the last 10 minutes of the book. The book would have been perfect if they had just dealt with her having a secret realistically. That being said, the book was really fun and the voice acting was fantastic!

This book is very well written. The characters are fun and larger than life. There are moments that are legitimately laugh out loud. I really appreciated the depth of plotting and storytelling - the author never took the cliched approach of building suspense by having the characters not communicate or be unbelievably dumb about things. Everything fits intentionally and seamlessly into a wonderful story that engaged both me and my 12 year old son! The narrator for the audiobook did a great job.

This series is excellent military sci-fi! It's like a zoomed in version of Heinlein's Starship Troopers - more depth to the characters, the battles, and their interactions - combined with the grit of Drake's Slammers series.

A+ world building. Likable characters and believable situations. The military aspect is woven into the story seamlessly and adds to the whole story. Great example of what military sci-fi should be!

I lasted 1/3 of the way through the book before I decided to stop wasting my time. The pacing is a slog, the "training" for starcaster recruits is haphazard, and the military ranks are nonsensical.

If you're struggling with the book, the afterward helps provide structure and a framework for understanding. That being said, this book is a wonderful fantasy novel about power, ordinary people, and magic set in Earthsea. 9/10, recommend!

First, the story is fantastic! I appreciated how the author writes three dimensional characters. He explores the complexity of politics and power within a society without dumbing it down. Many of the characters are multi-faceted and have multiple goals/agendas. superbly done!

Second, the performance is spectacular! During action scenes the performer speeds up his diction, really thrusting the listener into the scene. His voices are great and helpful - not cliched and annoying like some books.

Third, the surprises are perfect. Can't say more. Enjoy!

The world building was good, solid tech and military elements. The limitations on planet and the adversary faced there were good. Audible performance was really solid.

All that being said, the dialogue was awkward and the ending felt contrived. Overall 3/5.
