Historia
The second novel in the wildly popular First Law Trilogy from New York Times best seller Joe Abercrombie. Superior Glokta has a problem. How do you defend a city surrounded by enemies and riddled with traitors, when your allies can by no means be trusted, and your predecessor vanished without a trace? It's enough to make a torturer want to run - if he could even walk without a stick. Northmen have spilled over the border of Angland and are spreading fire and death across the frozen country. Crown Prince Ladisla is poised to drive them back and win undying glory.

Great storytelling and character work
Revisado: 07-10-20
The amazing way Joe Abercrombie writes and the way he lefts the plot at the end, makes you go mad to start reading the next one as soon as possible. Great narration as expected, the performance was spot on on every POV.

A great go to guide for Systemic thinking
Revisado: 04-14-19
Full disclosure: I’ve received a complimentary copy of this audiobook to review it to the most honest assessment I can give.
This is a difficult topic but it is explained fairly simple from so wider audiences wouldn’t have any issue following it. Though some examples were confusing and had me going back time and time again in order to fully understand them.
I guess one of the flaws I can find is the narrator, I find his voice not suited for this type of heavyweight field of knowledge. Maybe I’m wrong but it made the experience not that great for me and even had to plan around doing some chores so it would not knock me out asleep.
I think about purchasing the kindle edition since this is better for consulting this type of information than going back and forward with the audible app.
UPDATE: Did upgrade it with a kindle edition, and the way it is explained on the book makes it easier to understand some of the topics. I'm sorry but the narrator didn't deliver it for me.

Incredibly well drawn story
Revisado: 12-17-18
This is a great list from beginning to end, the narration is interwoven in a manner that's captivating and inviting. But I disagree a lot with the author in a way that almost made me left it unfinished.

Great performance, story was all over the place
Revisado: 11-05-18
I liked it very much it was after all an interesting subject. Maybe if I consumed the chapters spaced this would not annoy me as much. The book jumped from one time in the life of Mark to another with out having a proper introduction on why or how.

Historia
The reputation of the financial industry could hardly be worse than it is today in the painful aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. New York Times best-selling economist Robert Shiller is no apologist for the sins of finance - he is probably the only person to have predicted both the stock market bubble of 2000 and the real estate bubble that led up to the subprime mortgage meltdown. But in this important and timely book, Shiller argues that, rather than condemning finance, we need to reclaim it for the common good.

Excellent piece of work by Brandon. Both, Kate and Michael, do their usual perfect narration on a Cosmere book. The last novella gives a good insight on a not so developed character of the Stormlight Archive series that bridge better the book 2 and 3

The audio was good and the entonación was perfect even for 1.5x. My main issue is with the story, not as strong as the previous one, Lies of Locke Lamora.
