Years ago I heard lots of people talk about a great movie called "Sideways". I watched it and hated it. I wanted to punch the protagonist in the face for being an idiot throughout the movie.

That's how I feel about Sephora (however it is spelled). She is the whiniest character. I get the anger for the character, but she's got no depth. I hate listening to this character. She is tedious to listen to. Unfortunately, it looks like she's being set up to be something of a skywalker for this story.

I'll edit this review if I can finish the audio book. But if someone eventually gives this character a punch in the face or removes from the plot, I will cheer.

Nice story. The narration is pretty good for all the voices except for the women. I don't know what it is, but the voices he makes for the women sound all the same to me and worse is they all sound like frightened old maids barely making it through the day. I'm sure the narrator was just trying to make them sound feminine, but the effect was awful. However, when the narrator does a gruff voice for a braggart, or a voice for the conniving Loon King, he's great.

Story was okay. Not much surprising in it. Good to listen to while painting grots and squigs.

This is okay if you only read blogs and like less rigor in your writing. Having a degree in both psychology and philosophy, and having taught many classes in resilience in the military, it was entertaining at a basic, crude level, but didn’t do more than that for me. It didn’t challenge me, or give new ways of looking at things.

I have tried a couple of the Age of Sigmar writings and they’re terrible. So it was refreshing when this book was of the quality missing from the previous books I’ve tried. The story was engaging even if I was a little confused what some tools were. A lot of these books assume you know what all the little things are without explaining them to you.

Parts of this, I really loved. But most of the time I was confused as to what the hell was going on, why were we following this group now or that person then and so on. There are plot lines that have nothing to do with each other than just give you more flavor for the world, and all I can’t say with was more confusion. The ending was a let down. The secret plot point was really burying the lead and then underdeveloped. I was constantly pausing and trying to Google things to try and connect chapters that have nothing to do with each other.

The first story is barely more than a mad lib. The second is not much better. The actors are blood spilling killers, but express at times the most naive emotions. I was hoping to experience the age of signal, the zeal of these cultists, and come away with a little bit more of an understanding of this faction. But they have less depth than 80’s movie sorority girls.

I hate to be so negative. I wish I hadn’t wasted my time on this and listen to something else as I painted minis. Go find something better. This is ketchup added to water and called soup. We accept it because there isn’t anything else.

(edit)
I'm trying really hard to finish this. I'm into chapter 5 of the last book, and it is terribly boring. After 2 and a half books in this collection, I know nothing more about the world everyone is living in, what it's like to live there, what motivations of groups are, histories, or anything. This is all a bunch of catty sorority sisters who hate each other, back stab each other every chance they get, hold grudges, and then wonder why blood rituals don't work. The world is flat and dead. It doesn't live. The characters are a bore. There's no reason to root for them, against them, or be indifferent. Why cheer for one character over another? They're just going to whine about mysteriously losing favor because they don't feel anything when they do a blood ritual. Follow this 'I wonder what is wrong' with 'I hate her, I'm going to kill her when as soon as I can'.

I can't finish this book.

The sound quality of this is terrible. Also, the reading itself isn’t that great. I am giving it three stars on the story simply as an average. I can’t listen to it long enough to decide as the quality is that poor.

The book is good. My criticism isn't so much about the book but it's relation to me. I kept wanting to fast forward it. It is like when you're at the office and find yourself in a conversation with someone and you see where it is headed and would like to save the five minutes it'll take to get there and just skip to the punch.
