A wee predictable, but great none the less

Revisado: 02-26-25

The story was a bit predictable, but a great haunting and eerie read. Also a great intro to the genre as it's not too graphic. I really enjoyed it.

Jonathan Stroud is my guy

Revisado: 01-10-24

Big fan of all basically all of Stroud's work. I'm admittedly bias, but he doedn't go wrong with this book either.

I don't understand the rave reviews

Revisado: 05-17-23

I couldn't finish the book. Ethan is lost and just stumbles around with traumatic injuries while people treat him oddly. That's the first three and half hours of the book. Super frustrated that audible wouldn't let me return this.

Non-gripping and Uncaptivating

Revisado: 10-11-22

I fought really really hard to make it to the end of this book. The only character I managed to care about at all is the MC and only barely. I felt like the story was weak and uncaptivating, but I thought maybe there would be a really awesome flair at the end that made all the impossibly obvious red herrings worth my patience. I was wrong. The ending was incredibly unsatisfying and I am very frustrated with how hard I fought through this book for so little pay off.

A Weak Female Protagonist in a Weak Horror Setting

Revisado: 04-14-22

I was looking for a strong horror sci fi book and this was not it. The MC comes off as weak, weepy, and indecisive as she waffles through relationships rather than danger through most of the book. The horror elements are limited to dead bodies and hallucinations of dead bodies. It was a slog through every minute of it.

Engaging, insightful, and entertaining.

Revisado: 03-12-20

Title says all. This book provides a detailed, even profound insight into the gaming industry and it's developments. Would recommend to anyone interested in video games and how they're made.

Excruciating

Revisado: 03-11-20

I could take the multitude of spitting and throwing up noises that are 90% of the first chapter. I couldn't take the absolutely juvenile voice acting.

An new narrator made all the difference.

Revisado: 02-11-20

This is easily the best written and narrated of the Lockewood series so far. The others were enjoyable, but the stories slow in places and the narrator bland in others. In this one Jonathan Stroud and Emily Beavan both hit their strided for a remarkable experience.

Fantastic Alien Story

Revisado: 02-06-20

Cold Forge is a little less reliant on the Alien the other entries to the universe. But it works spectacularlywith great characters, an awesome villian, and throwbacks to the movies. Nothing feels tacky or overused as can happen in this genre. If you enjoy Alien at all this will be up your alley.

Beautifully Dreamy, Infuriatingly Nonsensical

Revisado: 01-15-20

Morgenstern's writing and world is beautiful and dreamy, but after 18 hours you expect the story to grow and progress into something grand and it doesn't. You are left with the same confused feeling of nonsensical wonder that entices you at the start of the book, but is terribly unsatisfying at the end. Characters feel intriguing and mysterious at their introduction, but don't go deeper. Like a beautifully painted door with nothing but a wall behind it. Also I'm sick of everything tasting like honey.
