I hope the author writes a sequel!

Revisado: 03-09-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I can't find a sequel to this book, but I hope there's one coming. This was a really well done tale. I saw somewhere that it was compared to Rick Riordan's mythology-based stories, and I would agree with that. I was reminded -- in a good way! -- of the Percy Jackson series in particular in tone and target audience. The author drew heavy inspiration from Native American folklore and legends (though she was careful to say right up front that it wasn't 100% accurately represented, and that the reader should dig deeper if they want to know more -- I appreciated that warning). It was a believable and enjoyable cast of characters that were really brought to life by the excellent narration. I would definitely recommend this book, and as I've indicated, I would welcome a continuation of the story.

Solid book

Revisado: 03-09-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This was an interesting story that kept me listening from beginning to end. The 'fish out of water' parts of the story made me chuckle multiple times, since I can remember some of them from my early childhood (example: no television remote and only three channels). The time travel aspects were mindbending (in a good way) and really gave food for thought. I won't spoil them but they were really good. All in all, a solid story that was well done. I definitely recommend it.

A well-done production

Revisado: 03-09-21

This was a fun and funny story from beginning to end. The main character was a hoot, and it was great watching her question everything and buck tradition to forge her own route. The light elements of GameLit were also well-done. I thought Suzy Jackson nailed the material, like she always does. I will definitely listen to this one again, and if there was a sequel I would be all over it. Great job to all involved!

Another fun romp with Alex

Revisado: 03-09-21

This was a fun story, and I continue to really like this series. Alex is just a really enjoyable character, and the authors have excelled at putting her in interesting but believable situations that force her to be inventive and are fun to watch unfold. The narration was also fantastic, various accents and all. Looking forward to the next installment in Alex's adventures.

Outstanding!

Revisado: 02-26-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Thought this was a terrific book! The worldbuilding was fascinating, the characters were very well done and believable, the action sequences felt intense, and the way the author peeled back the layers of intrigue kept me bingeing it. The narrator was also spot-on. Honored to have gotten this as a review copy in exchange for an honest review. I'm eagerly looking forward to the rest of the series!

Continuation of an enjoyable series

Revisado: 02-23-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I enjoyed this second entry in the "what happens next" tale of Sleeping Beauty's family. More of the mystery of Azia's past is revealed, though it leads to more questions than answers for her, and it certainly ends on a bit of a cliffhanger in that respect. Interested to see where the author takes the story next. The narration continues to be fantastic. I received this as a free review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Interesting "what happens next" tale

Revisado: 02-23-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This story picks up roughly 18 years after the kiss that awakens Sleeping Beauty, and centers primarily on the oldest child and daughter of Briar Rose and the Prince (now King). It brings an interesting perspective to the question of what happens in the Happily (?) Ever After cliche' with which we are all familiar. I like the character development and story setup that takes place in this series starter, and the narration is fantastic also. My only complaint, if it actually is one, is that I wish the story was longer! I'm eager to find out what happens next. I received this as a free review copy in exchange for an honest review.

At its best when focused on the characters

Revisado: 02-10-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As the title of this review says, I felt this series was at its best when the author focused primarily on the characters, their relationships with each other, and how they banded together to overcome difficulty after difficulty. Otherwise, there were a lot of maddening (to me) inconsistencies that would at times nearly drive me to distraction from the main story. While I would get too long-winded detailing them if I tried, I will mention the most glaring which is what types of electronics survived the solar EMP and which didn't. Somehow cell phones survived while electronic car ignitions didn't. Cell phone towers did while backup generator electronics didn't. And so on. This wouldn't have bothered as much except it mattered a lot at various times in the plot. Anyway. As always your mileage may vary on things like those. In closing I'll mention two more things: 1). the narration was fantastic! and 2). I received this as a review copy in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, a good series

Revisado: 01-15-21 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This wasn't a perfect series, but I did like it and would recommend it if you're in to the post-apocalyptic genre. While it dragged a little in places, I liked most of the characters and felt they were believable. My only real complaint in that area is that one of the main characters that you were supposed to ultimately root for was very unlikable and I mostly found myself wishing that a Maddened would take her out to simplify Ethan's life. But that might just be me. The narration was also good and earned a solid four stars.
