Not what it appeared

Revisado: 04-03-25

I should have read between the lines. This is simply very abridged editions of books that are wonderful in their original editions. A cheap trick.
The best thing about this book is the narrator. His talent is wasted here.

A very enjoyable read!

Revisado: 04-07-24

I enjoyed it very much. just enough conflict to keep you going without becoming gory. the narrator does a great job of flowing smoothly between characters while giving each enough distinctness that you can immediately recognize them. I like the interplay of magic, dragons, and human. good definition and depth for each character. I'm reaching for the sequel as soon as this review is done.

don't waste your time or money.

over all plot fair. writing and editing horrible examples: 5 speakers in a row, and said was all the author could come up, no one "respinded". or answered" or anything else. things were ^clearly apparent" and could be "visibly seen", I couldn't finish it.

narrator awful and no ending to the book

Revisado: 08-08-20

uneven volume made the book very difficult to listen to but it was an interesting plot so I kept with it. imagine my irritation after enduring the narration to then have the author just drop the story abruptly. I hate when authors just ends a book midway to sell another book.
Don't waste your time.

excellent account

Revisado: 03-18-19

well written and researched. I appreciated learning about the back story regarding some of the factors that lead to the tragedy, as well as meeting many of the people caught up in it.

Great book, very enjoyable

What did you like about this audiobook?

Intriguing; good plot-twists

Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?

Information is presented in an enjoyable manner and, at times, with use of humor. This keeps the book interesting. I would have enjoyed it more if there was less time spent on main character's performance anxiety; perhaps that would have allowed for more character development. Overall, however, I liked the book very much. There was plenty of action. Characters are likable. I had some reservations when I purchased the book regarding the author's ability to use semi-god characters in a believable fashion, and was pleasantly surprised, as he handled them very well. I'm ready to read the next if there is one.

What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?

I liked the narrator. I have listened to Nick before and feel he does a nice job of presenting the book without getting in the way. I would love a different take on the female voices, but I think it's always difficult for narrators to manage the voices of the opposite sex. I have no quibbles with Nick Podehl!

Do you have any additional comments?

It's a great little book, I think you'll enjoy it!

Decent romance novel

Revisado: 08-12-17

What did you like best about Mage Slave? What did you like least?

There was some fantasy/adventure, and the plot was decent as far as it went, but it was too predictable. There were no twists or surprises to keep you interested. Characters were not well developed. It is a good book if you just want to waste some time and keep your mind distracted.

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

Plot twists, characters that were more believable, with both positive and negative traits, less time spent on discussing the main characters obsessive thoughts

What three words best describe Tanya Eby’s performance?

I need 5; pleasant overall, episodes odd stiltedness

Do you think Mage Slave needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

No, it's not that enthralling. I have no need to follow the characters further. I happy to be done with the book.

Any additional comments?

It was a decent book as a romance. The main characters are likable. It just isn't in the same realm as books by Jeff Wheeler, Denis Taylor, or Andy Weir.
