Liar. Thief. Legend. Ardor Benn is no ordinary thief. Rakish, ambitious, and master of wildly complex heists, he styles himself a Ruse Artist Extraordinaire. When a priest hires him for the most daring ruse yet, Ardor knows he'll need more than quick wit and sleight of hand. Assembling a dream team of forgers, disguisers, schemers, and thieves, he sets out to steal from the most powerful king the realm has ever known. But it soon becomes clear there's more at stake than fame and glory - Ard and his team might just be the last hope for human civilization.

Quite a lot of world building... too much?
Revisado: 10-16-24
this was an interesting story with great characters and an evidently well thought out premise. The idea of grit and everything around it was played up quite a bit. There were even points where I considered discarding the book because of all the references to the the setting's technology. I made it through to the end and I'm glad I did

As if nearly burning up in a freak accident on her way to Earth wasn't bad enough, Daisy had a whole mess of other trouble on her plate. Big trouble. And she was going to get to the bottom of it if it was the last thing she'd do, which it was starting to look like it very well might be. The thing is, Daisy had a simple rule for space travel. Don't blow up, and so far she'd been managing to abide by that, but mere survival wasn't enough.

Derivative, but awesome
Revisado: 08-08-24
The first few chapters sounded to me like it was produced through AI because there were so many familiar concepts in the story. but as the story progressed, I enjoyed the deep characterization and intricate plotting. By the end, I was cheering right along with the characters.

When COVID-19 sweeps through New York City, Jamie Gray is stuck as a dead-end driver for food-delivery apps. That is, until Jamie makes a delivery to an old acquaintance, Tom, who works at what he calls “an animal rights organization”. Tom’s team needs a last-minute grunt to handle things on their next field visit. Jamie, eager to do anything, immediately signs on. What Tom doesn't tell Jamie is that the animals his team cares for are not here on Earth. Not our Earth, at at least. In an alternate dimension, dinosaur-like creatures named Kaiju roam a warm and human-free world.

great author and narrator
Revisado: 09-22-22
Scalzi is consistently awesome. That's all I need to say about him. As for Wheaton, listening to him read a story is like you're sitting in a bar and a buddy is telling you about the crazy stuff that happened to him and his friends last night.

It was the perfect solution - put highly connected Captain Willard Phule in charge of the worst dregs of the Space Force. Sure, Phule's Company may be a band of rejects and misfits, but they did manage to save the day with their unorthodox methods. Embarrassed, the Space Force may have found the perfect equation for disaster: Assign Phule's pack of oddballs to save the Fat Chance Casino from a criminal take over. Phule's Company may stop the mob...but who will save the casino from them?

Great fun, but a bit dated
Revisado: 08-12-21
I really enjoyed it, but there are a few parts to the story, which I won't spoil, that date the piece. There is some subtle sexism and racism. I don't see any of it as misogynistic or bigoted and just chalk it up to it being just an unpleasant aspect of the era in which it was written.

Five years ago Corin Cadence's brother entered the Serpent Spire - a colossal tower with ever-shifting rooms, traps, and monsters. Those who survive the spire's trials return home with an attunement: a mark granting the bearer magical powers. According to legend, those few who reach the top of the tower will be granted a boon by the spire's goddess. He never returned. Now it's Corin's turn. He's headed to the top floor, on a mission to meet the goddess.

Flawed but Fun
Revisado: 04-04-20
First off, I have got to say that the book is heavy handed and poorly edited. However, it is a fun and engaging story. I must confess, I am hooked on the series and will listen to the rest. There are flaws that are a thorn in my side as I continue through, but these are overwhelmed by my curiosity of how the story plays out.
