Enjoyable mystery. Fun. Well written prose. Great narration. Confusing but in a good way. Have a listen.

Historically all over the place
Revisado: 12-15-24
The story was interesting and the prose was fine. But there was a stunning lack of attention paid to the actual cultural, political, linguistic or religious life of the various peoples described. From describing- sloppily- Damascus as a Christian city, referring to Muslim prayer leaders as priests, being ambiguous about the religion of the Persians and using zero linguistic or cultural elements from the Farsi and Arabic speaking communities this was a big fail to those who are actually interested in history. The narrative speaks of Syria and Iraq as if they were the fully formed nationalities we know now, but about 800 years be for the modern nation was invented. If you’re from this region of the world you will be used to Westerners using your cultural heritage as a playground for Western fantasy. Edward Said wrote a whole book about it. I won’t be reaching for book two.

Leigh Collier has worked hard to build what looks like a normal life. She has a good job as a defense attorney, a daughter doing well in school, and even her divorce is relatively civilized - her life is just as unremarkable as she’d always hoped it would be. But Leigh’s ordinary life masks a childhood that was far from average...a childhood tarnished by secrets, broken by betrayal, and finally torn apart by a devastating act of violence.

Tough story of SA and its horrible consequences but written and narrated quite well. Well worth your time.

1828. Robin Swift, orphaned by cholera in Canton, is brought to London by the mysterious Professor Lovell. There, he trains for years in Latin, Ancient Greek, and Chinese, all in preparation for the day he’ll enroll in Oxford University’s prestigious Royal Institute of Translation—also known as Babel. Babel is the world's center for translation and, more importantly, magic. Silver working—the art of manifesting the meaning lost in translation using enchanted silver bars—has made the British unparalleled in power, as its knowledge serves the Empire’s quest for colonization.

Harry Potter attacks colonialism
Revisado: 02-11-23
This book is wonderful. It starts off like Harry Potter but veers into post colonial struggle. Beautifully written and narrated. What a story. (Wipes away tears).

Not terribly inventive
Revisado: 12-04-22
A somewhat entertaining but cliche narrative. Nothing new here. Worth a read but I probably won’t continue the series.

Mars is changing. Seemingly overnight the once "Red" planet is turning to gray. Something is happening, something unnatural. A team of, literally, rocket scientists figure out a way to send a probe, very fast, to Mars to determine how and why it is changing. However, when the probe is destroyed well short of the formerly red planet, it's apparent that Mars is being used as a staging ground. The only viable target for that staging ground is Earth.

Raghead

How many times can you hear the word rag head before quitting the book? For me it was twenty.

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly - but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden. Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market.

Well written story
Revisado: 11-07-16
The story was imaginative though left huge blanks in describing its alternate history. The narrator used an Indian accent to voice an Arabic speaking woman. Would it have been that hard to at least try to imagine cultural differences amongst brown folk?
