Didn't stock this one

Revisado: 04-21-24

No likeable characters. Confusing mystery. Loved his last two books. Not this one. Will buy his next book.

No real pickup

Revisado: 01-23-24

Well written, detailed research, and some lovely turns of phrase, but just not for me. I don't mind slow stories, but the slow climax here was quite underwhelming.

Testicle choice of narrator

Revisado: 09-23-23

Worst English accent I've ever heard. Has he ever heard one? Doesn't sound like it.

Other than that, mostly fun time travel story, although far from outstanding

Good follow up

Revisado: 08-06-23

Great story, fantastic narration. On 1.7x the hyper quantum narrated urgency is epic

Love Stills! Great character.

Wrong choice of Narrator

Revisado: 06-25-23

Narrator seemed to think she was reading a comedy. Hardly a performance for 'transcendent love'. Only thing she was missing is a few drum/cymbal riffs.

Machiavellian?

Revisado: 04-06-23

Was hoping for clever political intrigue etc. and got something very far from that. This is not Machiavellian or even particularly clever, intricate, or detailed. Just an average story with unmemorable characters.

Decent narrator but everything else mediocre.

Worst book by this author

Revisado: 03-31-23

Liked the series. Great author. This book dragged though.

Spent many, many hours waiting for a payoff. At one point, despite the dull buildup (in this book of the series), it looked to be building nicely towards a dramatic conclusion, only for a shocking last last few hours.

The editor should have just refused to publish this. Strangely bad. Needs a rewrite.

Save yourself a huge amount of time, and get the significantly shorter and infinitely better Eversion, by the same author, instead.

Creation better than Execution

Revisado: 09-01-21

Doesn't work for me.

Don't like this but won't return, as the author deserves my money for the idea alone.

I really like the interactive nature of this book's creation. It must have been great fun for those involved, and for that alone the author deserves my money.

Problem is, listening to a line by line description of how forum member Sarah J and Bob P solved a puzzle by watching a 3 hour video, pausing at the appropriate moment, is just not interesting. Especially when this sort of description happens over and over again.

Even on high speed I just couldn't take it any more. I had to stop.

DNF but respect to the author regardless.

Trash

Revisado: 06-29-21

If you've never read Feist, don't start here (better off never even starting this).

Cringe worthy and excessive focus on sex. All women are either memories (dead relatives), or there purely to sleep with the main character.

Boring, formulaic unimaginative revenge story. Wooden main character. All others unlikeable.

Feist's first two trilogies are amongst my favourite fantasy novels ever. This is absolute trash. Don't bother

When does the plot start?

Revisado: 08-19-19

Returning this book as around 10 hours in, the only thing that's happened is a never ending series of duels, along with Corin practising to increase his mana (or whatever it is).. Even with narration increased beyond race-caller speed I just can't take it any more.

The prospect of a longer version of (something like) book 1 sounded good. Unfortunately this isn't like book 1. It's a book about a level-up grind, without the interesting bits to go with it.

1 Star and returned for something less painful.
