Falls down hard with the third book

Revisado: 10-18-23

First two books were decent. Third book was rather bizarre, trying to decide between a fantasy novel and some kind of "All people with power are bad" populistscreed or something, honestly I couldn't figure out what the intent really was. The one character continues to be probably the most irrationally stupid conceived by an author to be sure (you know who she is if you've read) but takes it to new heights in this volume. I was really let down after the buildup with the first two books as the shift in tone to some kind of commentary on social hierarchy rather than following a storyline was disappointing..

Agree with the "Turned into erotica, bail" review

Revisado: 10-18-23

I read a review, after I paid for it and had listened to about Ch 30 it just got ridiculous, where someone says it changes from fantasy to bad erotica, and I whole heartedly concur as I bailed at the same place. I fast forwarded a min here a min there, then ten min, then skipped a chapter, thinking it was a stage I could just get by as it was becoming stupid, and it was relentless and to my perception unending (at least at the point I bailed).

I'm typically not one who reviews books negatively, and this was ok up to about chapter 20.....but either this author needs to decide something or, well, get something, and focus on writing a story and getting by whatever distraction they suffer. This is not fantasy genre and it's worse than normal romance stuff if that's what you're into. The "sexual tension" turns into a fifty shades of dragons kind of thing that never actually manifests, even when it does kind of, so there isn't even that kind of direction. I'm kind of surprised this has the overall ratings it does, honestly.

As a side note, I don't pick up on the narrator being congested, some women's voices just are nasal and it really didn't bother me. She (narrator) seemed to try to give it what she could to be a raving teen erotica novel. I don't have any complaints with the narration.

Meh

Revisado: 05-17-23

My father had some festering unresolved anti catholic issues, but wow...that pales in comparison.

I mean I get the feminist bent being rather heavy handed, kind of expected that, but the a to catholic everything was really over the top. Factual errors like a bishop running an orphanage to making sure to smear every aspect from unwed mother homes to the regular priesthood. I am really not sure if it was personal in nature (my father's issues stemmed from direct personal experience) or just Seattle uber rich stuff, but really it was unnecessarily over the top. Occasional slipping ij anti capitalist "libertarian hogwash yuk yuk yuk" kind of thing, again unnecessary. Statements on homosexuality that would simply not have been made in the 50s, just back casting future ideas, errors that make it leas enjoyable even if you gat by the anti catholic hate stuff. Anti male, again, expected. The rest, if you are in to uber rich Seattle politics kind of things, maybe, otherwise find an author that has some experience with the ills they describe.

Decent info, narration needs help

Revisado: 06-25-19

Information is generally good, though I personally didn't learn that much there are undoubtedly those who can benefit by it. That said, it would be a good investment by the author to pay a professional reader. The pauses made me wonder if he had some kind of speech impediment, and the laughing at his own jokes stuff is distracting.
