Plot is Slow; All Characters Think the Same

Revisado: 12-02-23

All the characters start sounding the same. When a character makes a choice, the author has to explain the thought processes behind it; when a character speaks, the author describes the potentials, the possibilities, and the consequences. For every character. Every time. If you asked me, I could tell you the plot of this book in 3 sentences. Book 3, to me, was like a filler episode that not even the author was excited to write.

Hooked since the first episode. Love where it's headed. The cast, sound effects, and story are top notch.

Finished in 2 Days

Revisado: 01-17-22

I have read every thriller Rollins put out. When The Starless Crown came out, I didn't know what to expect, but I thought I'd give it a try because, "Hey, it's Rollins." About 30 minutes into my morning commute, I forget to get off the exit on the highway. By the end of the next day, I finished the audiobook (I speed up audiobooks; it's not difficult for me to follow faster speech).

What I loved about the novel — and I can't wait for the sequels, presuming there will be — is that it starts off as fantasy fiction but takes on an aspect of science fiction.

Overall, the storytelling, the narrating by Nicola Barber (loved the variations in pitch, inflections, and accents she gives the characters), the writing (more vivid than in his thrillers), and the character development are simply satisfying...like a "you just had hot chocolate while warming your feet by the fire after a very cold day" satisfying.

If you're into good storytelling, fantasy, fiction, action, and animals, you're not going to regret this purchase.
