Spiderman is a perfect fit for Jim Butcher

Exactly what I expected from the author of the Dresdin Files. Enjoyed every moment of it.

Sanderson, Kramer, and Reading never disappoint

Excellent performance held back by a weak story

Revisado: 03-10-19

An intriguing premise, but lacking depth in both world building and character development. The magic system seems undeveloped or only loosely expained as new abilities are introduced almost dues ex machina, except when they do nothing anyway. The characters are one dimensional and thier relationships weakly defined. I had high hopes for this story, but its execution is just disappointment.

The best I can say about the audiobook is that the narrator/author has an epic voice and listening to her voice the protagonist is enjoyable.

A rocky start but incredibly compelling eventually

Revisado: 10-07-18

With a rapidly changing perspective, and fantasy elements that could use more explaination early on, I found this story difficult to get invested in. "What the heck are Spren?" "Why can't we focus on one character for a while longer?" "This magic system feel arbitrary or unrealized". Eventually, the plot congress into focus, and the core characters take center stage, and when everything starts to click, the story suddenly becomes an immensely compelling character drama.

Worth the effort of getting into.

Passable story. Decent voice work.

Revisado: 09-15-18

I don't expect much from a teen romance story, but this seemed to fall a bit short of even that. Some character reactions seemed contrived, and the protagonist seemed too clueless to be human.

Otherwise, it's enjoyable enough.

A lot darker than the first book. . .

Revisado: 03-05-18

Still very well written and flawless performance. Though I wasn't expecting the change in tone, and not sure I liked it. But the mystery kept me engaged anyway.

Darker Than Expected

Revisado: 10-13-17

Knowing that this was the same author behind Jurrassic Park, I expected a family friendly romp. A victorian heist with endearing rogues and witty banter.

Instead, this ended intense and at times depressing. No one is really the good guys here. It's Victorian England and this book revels in the worst aspects of that society. Death is everywhere.

I can't say it's a bad story. It's well written and very well acted. But it's not what I wanted, and I'm glad you be done with it. If you like a gritty crime period drama, this book will do. But if you're looking for a upbeat heist plot like Ocean's Eleven or the Alpha Caper, this book isn't for you.

Plot and characters lack substance.

Very dissatisfied with the story itself, but the narrator deserves credit for a good job.

Sometimes harsh, but always good advice.

Gave me a lot to think about. Some of which I really needed to hear. This self help book doesn't sugar coat anything, and in that way it really cuts to what we all really need to hear.
