Not what I expected

Revisado: 12-29-20

I was very disappointed with this book. There was minimal information given in a very dry and droning manner. If you are looking for a detailed history that grab your attention, avoid this book.

Jane continues to be force to be reckoned with

Revisado: 07-04-18

I like the Jane Yellowrock series and this book has the high standards I would expect from the author as well as the narrator.
Frequently urban fantasy becomes a romance novel with supernatural elements thrown in. This book does not, sure there is the obligatory love interest but it does not overpower the story unlike some other authors have done. I enjoy the Native American lore entwined into the story. Well Done.

Great book!

Revisado: 07-04-18

The wealth of information in this book is staggering. I found it both informative and entertaining. The author keep my attention throughout especially considering history can be somewhat dry. This book keep me interested enough that i bought several other books on the history of Asia. If you are interested in the history of the region and whats happening now, listen to this book.

Hard to get into at first

Revisado: 07-04-18

It took me two attempts to actually listen to the book, the first time I thought "ehh just another space opera" I found the narration well done but the story was a little weak stringing it together. Im sure the story will fill out through the other books. It has some good elements the portrayal of the fleet and the marines for one. I especially liked the crunchy comment. I did find myself wondering about why the civilians are just hanging artound with enemies inbound, maybe they should be someplace safe like another system. All in all I liked it now to see what happens in book 2.

Great book, interesting twist on medieval kingdoms

Would you listen to Deryni Rising again? Why?

Yes, The combination of magic and the church.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Morgan

Any additional comments?

I like this series, the plot is well thought out and paced appropriately. The mixing of magic and the clergy was well done. I would recommend to anyone interested in fantasy that like medieval settings and it just a little tired of the same bad guys (orcs, goblins ect). Nice to see a human protagonist.

Same as the first book, interesting but predictabl

Revisado: 03-23-17

Any additional comments?

As I stated in my review of the first book in the series. "There are many military scifi authors out there and this series rates about in the middle. The story is interesting but somewhat predictable. While it is not up to the standard of Honor Harrington or the John Ringo novels it is still an interesting read."

Great story interesting delivery

Revisado: 03-23-17

Any additional comments?

The author took a long and complex story and made it interesting. Unlike most history lessons filled with facts but very dry this series was filled with useful information and even a bit of humor, It keep my interest throughout.
