Historia
Deborah Harkness’s sparkling debut, A Discovery of Witches, has brought her into the spotlight and galvanized fans around the world. In this tale of passion and obsession, Diana Bishop, a young scholar and a descendant of witches, discovers a long-lost and enchanted alchemical manuscript, Ashmole 782, deep in Oxford's Bodleian Library. Its reappearance summons a fantastical underworld, which she navigates with her leading man, vampire geneticist Matthew Clairmont.

Historia
God is change. That is the central truth of the Earthseed movement, whose unlikely prophet is 18-year-old Lauren Olamina. The young woman's diary entries tell the story of her life amid a violent 21st-century hell of walled neighborhoods and drug-crazed pyromaniacs - and reveal her evolving Earthseed philosophy. Against a backdrop of horror emerges a message of hope: if we are willing to embrace divine change, we will survive to fulfill our destiny among the stars.

Monotone narrative, monotone story
Revisado: 01-23-24
Every character was emotionless and one-note.
Oh, the main character saw a group of young children (one of whom was pregnant) eating a human leg? That must have been horrifying and caused endless stress. We will never know because everything in this book was presented as if it were a textbook. No reactions, no emotion, nothing to indicate the characters were anything resembling a real person.

Historia
Greece in the age of heroes. Patroclus, an awkward young prince, has been exiled to the kingdom of Phthia to be raised in the shadow of King Peleus and his golden son, Achilles. “The best of all the Greeks”—strong, beautiful, and the child of a goddess—Achilles is everything the shamed Patroclus is not. Yet despite their differences, the boys become steadfast companions. Their bond deepens as they grow into young men and become skilled in the arts of war and medicine—much to the displeasure and the fury of Achilles’ mother, Thetis, a cruel sea goddess with a hatred of mortals.

The story was very nice and a new take on classic characters and the narrator was easy to listen to.

Pushing "Woke" Views
Revisado: 07-23-21
I guess every Imperial person that wasn't shown in the movie was a woman. Seriously, EVERY SINGLE ONE?!
Oh, let's not forget that we need to make as many characters as possible homosexual to show how "woke" we are.
In addition, we need to really push the fact that a story takes place on a spaceship so we will have a constant roar in the background. I kept thinking my car had a flat tire.

Historia
The Carls just appeared. Coming home from work at three a.m., 23-year-old April May stumbles across a giant sculpture.

The next day April wakes up to a viral video and a new life. News quickly spreads that there are Carls in dozens of cities around the world - everywhere from Beijing to Buenos Aires - and April, as their first documentarian, finds herself at the center of an intense media spotlight.

LGBTQXYZ Agenda, and Nothing More
Revisado: 05-18-21
Has there been a more self centered and unlikable main character in a book? Seriously, even Hannibal didn't compliment himself as much as this girl did. She's so "hot" that she just can't stand herself. Don't forget that her "hotness" gives her power over everyone. It's like 2003 Paris Hilton was the model for the character.
Did this book has a purpose other than pushing a liberal agenda?
Thank goodness Audible lets me return this download and get my credit back.

Historia
April May and the Carls are back in the much-anticipated sequel to Hank Green's number-one New York Times best-selling debut novel, An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. The Carls disappeared the same way they appeared, in an instant. While they were on Earth, they caused confusion and destruction without ever lifting a finger. Months later, the world is as confused as ever. Andy has picked up April’s mantle of fame; Maya, ravaged by grief, begins to follow a string of mysteries that she is convinced will lead her to April; and Miranda infiltrates a scientific operation.

Good grief! This left wing propaganda only exists to bash heterosexual white men. Weak story.

Historia
In a world where women hold all the power and men have barely been an afterthought, an intrepid shipmistress must put aside everything she knows if she is to save her people. Bela is at the helm of the Sandcrow, a ship sent from calm seas to the far frozen north in search of a legendary power that could turn the tide of war. Locked into ice, the Sandcrow is lost.

LGBT Propaganda
Revisado: 01-27-21
The author should have spent less time trying to push their man-hating, feminist agent and more time writing a story above the sixth grade level. Seriously, it felt like an angry, sexually confused middle school girl wrote this.

Historia
More than a year after she helped save the world from the Sparnaxian invasion, Andrea Vernon is in a good place. Her boss is giving her greater responsibility and she’s getting to travel a lot (although her fill-in is hopeless at making coffee); things could be getting even more serious with her 8’ 4” superhero boyfriend, The Big Axe; and she has a really fun new BFF, Never More. Small issue, though, with that last item - Never More is a supervillain bent on world domination, and it looks as if nothing can stop her.

This book was just as good (if not better) than the first. Multiple laugh out loud jokes.

Be Careful What You Hope For
Revisado: 02-22-19
My daughter downloaded this book after we both listened to the first of the series.
I have a few hopes for this book.
I hope Mary is confused and offended at every occasion.
I hope Katherine mentions that she is a puma in every other sentence.
I hope Justine is quiet and remorseful.
I hope Beatrice is referred to as "the poisonous girl" every single time she is mentioned.
I hope every word out of Diana's mouth is her bragging about her ability or an attack about how lame the rest of the characters are. As a bonus, I hope she also moans about constantly being hungry.
I hope we get to hear about how women have an adventure in the 19th century with the sexism they must face and not a bunch of characters who have no problem passing as men with a simple change of clothes. Seriously, if I wanted to hear about how men moved through this world, I would not have downloaded a book filled with female characters.
The characters are one dimensional and the whole story seems to be an excuse to promote cross dressing.

I could deal with the accent but the short, stabbing flow of the narrator robbed the joy from this book
