Fantasy Comedy

Revisado: 02-25-24

Jonathan McClain has a great delivery because he gets most of the jokes. He's got a good feel for the characters and Rimmel has given him plenty to work with. Lots of time on the RPG components. I could do with a little less of that but overall a good story well-told.

If you like nothing so much as wordplay

Probably my least favorite of Scalzi's writing. Felt too much like trying to be clever. Clearly riffing on Hamlet, but not well.

My Kind of Weird

Revisado: 09-03-22

Peter Clines does great work with weird. This weird is largely of the creative adventure variety. Mysterious stranger is female. Clueless male protagonist helps us discover how this world works over time. Love it that favorite historical characters show up and make things even more fun along the way. It's a weird romp and Imt here for it.

Even More F-ing Fun the Second Time

Revisado: 01-21-19

Loved the first book so much in the morning that I bought this one in the afternoon. Lots of fun, new historical figure, new shenanigans, lots more swearing. Funny like Scott Meyer's Magic 2.0 series but harder commit on the sci-fi and a younger feel ro the overall mood. Not literary, sappy moments but an easy listen great for a day off.

A dreary slog thru an underground swamp

Revisado: 02-17-18

Gah. It isn't like I haven't heard this narrator before. She has a pleasant enough voice. This book, though. That first-time writer feel of too much description and too lttle dialogue kept lulling me to sleep. Even the idea of Pinchot narrating the next wasn't enough to keep me going and I absolutely love that guy. Skip it.

Well, it wasn't dreadful...

Revisado: 01-20-18

A little slow in many spots, not my favorite of Meyer's work. Also incredibly annoying was the narrator's consistent mispronunciation of the name "Takeda;" sounds like a Brit saying thanks to a taco. Taco tah.

SWars, for gamers

Revisado: 07-09-17

SPOILER ALERT: Only because if I'd know this, I probably would not have read the book. It was good but I hate to see characters die needlessly. Somebody who you don't want to die, does.

inconsistent quality of writing and narration.

Revisado: 10-29-16

A completely mixed bag. The great writers were predictably great and some of the unknowns were pleasant surprises but many were, while perhaps not terrible, stiff, lacking compelling characters and dull.

12 years later? Okay!

Revisado: 02-01-13

While the last two books seemed to get a bit bogged down in exposition, Trapped seemed to bring back some of the energy from the earlier Chronicles. More Oberon - always a plus - and Granuaile's training finished between books. (That could have been a HPDH camping nightmare. Yeesh.) As with the rest of the series, Luke Daniels is an amazing narrator.
