Historia
After facing war, death, unruly gods, and unmitigated evil, Minalan the Spellmonger is forced to return to Farise, the site of his earliest battles, with the simple assignment to conquer the subtropical city-state and expel the pirates that plague the kingdom’s shipping. Tired of warfare, Minalan embarks on a clandestine campaign to do so, assuming an alias and setting up shop in Farise as a mere Practical Adept as cover for his operation. Recruiting a cadre of talented agents to assist, he reluctantly begins the task of infiltrating and observing Farisian society.

Especially Good
Revisado: 10-11-24
I've enjoyed all the books in this series, the writing, character development, and works building are first rate. However, this book has been especially good. I think it may be the best of series.

After getting into it a bit, it was hard to put down. I listened all night despite having to work the next morning.

Historia
The Yellowstone super-eruption has put an end to modern civilization. As cities and countries continue to fall, the colony of Rivendell in the alternate Earth known as Outland looks more and more like the only real hope for humanity. But life in Rivendell isn’t getting any simpler, either. Bill and Kevin continue to discover new worlds; the population continues to rise; winter is approaching; and everyone has their own opinion about how things should be run.

interesting listen, lacks character development
Revisado: 04-01-23
it was enjoyable enough, but the character development was lacking. it's nearly impossible to distinguish one character from the other.
I almost skipped this one because of all the reviews of too much politics, but I don't see where that critique is coming from.
if this series continues, the author must spend now time developing character, giving them back stories and exposing their internals thoughts, because, at this point, I don't care for any of them.

Historia
Minalan the Spellmonger has a problem: Mycin Amana, the undead consort of Korbal the Necromancer, is not only occupying one of the largest castles in the kingdom; she’s also occupying the recently-dead body of his former lover, rapist, and mother of his children, Isily of Greenflower. As the crises in the heart of the kingdom grows, Minalan is tasked to force the so-called Witch Queen of Darkfaller from her new stronghold using any means necessary. Unfortunately, the castle belongs to his rival in the royal court and future monarch Prince Tavard, whose ideas are doomed to failure.

A good addition
Revisado: 12-11-22
This was a good addition to the series but it simply repeats a lot of what was in the Mad Mage Of Sevendor.
The overall story was not pushed further a long.

this is far from what I've come to expect from Taylor. It was an interesting story but had the feeling of YA novel

Irritatingly stupid
Revisado: 06-02-21
I have never left a negative review, but this so bad. It feels like a teenage boy wrote this who has no understanding of women or how the world works.
I don't know what the reviews about it being feminist is all about because I found it overbearingly sexist and I'm pretty conservative.
The story idea is great and I really wanted to like it, but its awful, awful, awful.
returning to get my credit back

Historia
Ryland Grace is the sole survivor on a desperate, last-chance mission - and if he fails, humanity and the Earth itself will perish. Except that right now, he doesn't know that. He can't even remember his own name, let alone the nature of his assignment or how to complete it. All he knows is that he's been asleep for a very, very long time. And he's just been awakened to find himself millions of miles from home, with nothing but two corpses for company.

A Masterpiece
Revisado: 05-09-21
I listened to the book in two long sittings. When it comes to hard science fiction with strong emotional impact, no writer does it better than Weir.
When it was done, I didn't want to leave the characters behind. I'm anxiously awaiting to read whatever Weir publishes next.

Historia
In a not-too-distant future that is not quite ours, there has been a major scientific breakthrough. It is a way to open windows into the past, permitting historical researchers to view, but not participate, in the events of the past.
In one of the most powerful and thought-provoking novels of his remarkable career, Orson Scott Card interweaves a compelling portrait of Christopher Columbus with the story of a future scientist who believes she can alter human history from a tragedy of bloodshed and brutality to a world filled with hope and healing.

This is a jewel of a book, Card does not disappoint. I don't do it often, but this is one that I'll read again and treasure again.

Historia
Civil war looms in the Bobiverse in this brand-new, epic-length adventure by Audible number one best seller Dennis E. Taylor. More than a hundred years ago, Bender set out for the stars and was never heard from again. There has been no trace of him despite numerous searches by his clone-mates. Now Bob is determined to organize an expedition to learn Bender’s fate - whatever the cost. But nothing is ever simple in the Bobiverse. Bob’s descendants are out to the 24th generation now, and replicative drift has produced individuals who can barely be considered Bobs anymore.

Great
Revisado: 10-07-20
Taylor write the kind of sci-fi that I think had been missing from the genre due a long time. the kind of sci-fi that makes one think and get excited ideas that fills ones mind and heart with wonder and awe.
With each book he gets better at drawing grounded and complex characters and weaving plots that keeps one's attention.
If he keeps writing like this, he'll have a place among the great of genre and his fiction will be read for years and years to come.
