Great last book

Revisado: 08-06-18

This was a fantastic finish to a great trilogy. Looking at the print books, you might think there's no way that they could successfully translate to audiobook. The full cast narration and great effects really pull it off though. I still recommend giving both versions a try as they are very different but equally amazing experiences. As for Obsidio in particular, I thought it was a good finish to a really strong series. Pretty much everything you've come to expect from these books plus the grand finale thrown in. I would love to see more from these two authors.

One of my favorites

Revisado: 11-12-17

I love PKD, and this is one of my favorites that he wrote. It's confusing and jarring and weird but comes together in the end in a wonderfully satisfying way. The narration on this one wasn't spectacular for me, I found a few of the voices a little off, but it was definitely a nice solid read.

Atmospheric horror

Revisado: 11-01-17

Carmilla is not an in your face horror book, it's one of those books with a building atmosphere of things being wrong. Of course, reading this in the 21st century, most people already know that Carmilla is a vampire, which takes away from some of the suspense. While Laura and the other characters have this vague feeling of foreboding and knowing something is off, it's painfully obvious to the reader what's going on. Still, despite that it's a really enjoyable book and this cast does an overall excellent job. My biggest qualm with it was that I was not a fan of David Tennant in the beginning section, I can understand why his character would speak that way but the hesitating style of speaking drove me nuts. Fortunately that's only a small bit and then you move on and it gets much better.

Great book, but a little long

Revisado: 10-02-17

This book starts out great. There's a lot of romance and even a little plot to hold it all together. But there's a certain point where it just keeps dragging out. She keeps jumping forward in time and giving you snapshots of how their relationship is happily evolving. This could be sweet and satisfying, but instead just feels way too stretched out.

Another wonderful story from Leckie

Revisado: 09-28-17

If you liked Ann Leckie's Ancillary series, odds are that you'll enjoy this as well. If you haven't read her books before, I highly recommend them. Adjoa Andoh does a wonderful job narrating this and bringing unique voices to all of the characters.

Wow, just wow

Revisado: 06-25-17

Think of this as kind of the Canterbury Tales in space. You've got several different characters (all wonderfully voiced by the narrators) who are telling their stories while on a journey. Slowly as each pilgrim tells their tale you see why they are there as well as getting another piece of the overall puzzle. For being a lengthy book, the time seemed to speed by while I listened to this.

Absolutely beautiful

Revisado: 05-20-17

Elizabeth Wein seems to always be able to write books that stick in my head and leave me thinking about them long after I've finished them. This is another one of those books. This is a prequel of sorts to Code Name Verity, though it could easily stand on it's own for anyone who hasn't read the other. The main plot of this book is a mystery, but there's also a lot going on beneath the surface as well.
