Good Space Opera Fun

Revisado: 05-01-24

It very much reminded me of classic Space Opera, like the Lensmen. A little bit Mary Sue but not really, just a fun Romp coming of age story.

Fun story

Revisado: 02-09-23

Really a fun story, but it needed some editing. I had to push hard to get through the first few chapters, they were largely irrelevant info dumps. For example, if they are not getting into or going th o use a fighter in the next chapter, I don't need to be informed of its weapon attack angles. ugggh. otherwise it was a fun Story. Obviously a lot of wish fulfillment.

more Skippy and Joe antics

If this is the final book, it is a great way to end a fun series

Sound levels Way off

Revisado: 09-26-22

I loved this story since i was young. but the narrator killed the experience. male voices are big and loud, females are all super quiet and timid. to the point that changing volume was necessary to continue listening. Super annoying.

Creationist talking points

Revisado: 05-15-22

There is nothing substantial to this booklet. is is a sad series of tired legal arguments that don't actually touch the topic.

Wow, Racist much.

Revisado: 05-05-22

I stopped listening when the author was describing America as Primarily English, and then says But we must remember the contributions of the blacks and Jews to sports and entertainment. The Italians and Irish building our cities.
Done. Glad it was a free book. Not worth that price.

Good story in need of an Editor

Revisado: 10-14-21

I lost interest in most of the cardboard characters in the first few hours. They are all archetypes cribbed from Tolkien.
Most irritating was the repeated, build to a climax and... cut away to an entirely different area and scene. Over and over to the point where all tension was lost and cohesion followed shortly thereafter

Finally Good HEMA!

Revisado: 05-11-20

This book has a Great plot, with twists, interesting characters, and great world building. Set in Italy just post renaissance with a wonderfully history based world in which magic works. Great fantasy story with a good world building and interesting characters, but that is not all.
The Author did the SWORDFIGHTS RIGHT! If you study Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) This is a nuisance that you just have to get used to in fantasy novels. 15 pound swords, cleaving people in twain. just not a thing in real life. Vague sword swooshed and he defeated 13 people, descriptions. Like the sword play in boring and we want to move on. This one is done right. You can actually picture the positions of the swords and how they respond and counter.
Ordering the other two book in the series and I am definitely going to read the rest of this authors work.

Interesting history, but needs recipies

Revisado: 03-02-20

Yes, I know that the recipes are available as a PDF, at least give me a quick run down of each one in the audio. It would not take long to say, "a shot of whiskey, a few dashes of bitters, and 1/4 ounce of absinthe, over ice." then when you are describing the wonderful history of a drink that someone made at a wonderfully historic bar and served to famous people, we have some idea of what it is. Stopping and having to reference a pdf in a different program turns what was a light interesting listen into a homework assignment that I get to drink (which is the best kind of homework, but still homework)

If you are missing Dresden, try this.

Revisado: 09-29-19

This book had all I had been missing from Jim Butcher and Harry Dresden. Dry wit, multilayered plots and moral, interesting a dimensional characters. Marvel, please get Jim on as a writer.
