Historia
Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

silly fun, campy, enjoyable
Revisado: 05-18-24
great silly fun, too much loud screaming crying from one character was its only drawback (a couple of times, okay; over and over, it lost its campy appeal)
please make sequel about Vlad and Frank

An honest look at immigration, emotional, funny
- De Sam Green en 10-11-19
good story but focused on the worst character
Revisado: 10-20-22
I really didn't like the white woman main. she was fluffy and didn't listen to others except when it sounded like something she could benefit from. everyone else was interesting and had a good story, but it ended up feeling like a story about how a not-very-smart, charmingly-domineering fluffhead ruined lives. except I think we were supposed to like her.
it was worth the free listen and had a really interesting premise. I wish Sadie were either more likable or more diabolical -- it would have been more interesting.
the racial dynamics were okay, with Sadie being the clueless privileged white fluff and others noticing it occasionally. no arc for her, though. she learned nothing.

Revisado: 07-30-22
Lovely story, far too true to the pan experience (see what I did there?) including straight cis men thinking their own insecurities are caused by their bi partner, not that I have a personal connection or anything.
Well read; narrator voices are great.
Jennifer might be my favorite awful person ever.
It's predictable in many ways, but for heck's sake, it's a rom-com that would make a delightful stage musical, just like Wodehouse. And the nuggets of silliness are well-distributed (oops, I did it again).

Historia
The daughter of a Legion war hero, fighting was in Andien Broxin's blood. But the battles Republic marines face on strange and alien worlds are a far cry from the vaunted, brutal, no-holds-barred conflicts fought at the edge of the galaxy by the elite legionnaires. Until a devastating war erupts right in the Republic’s stellar backyard. Newly stationed on a mid-core planet being harassed by terrorist revolutionaries, Andien and her fellow “hullbusters” find themselves right in the middle of a desperate fight for survival.

so unaware of its own sexism, you can't look away
Revisado: 12-22-21
There's nothing wrong with the reader.
This is just a setup for a series, not a story. And it's retro AF (not in a good way), despite being set in the distant future. It's a few days in the life of a woman who is as tough as a man, almost; and she can prove she's tough by exercising until she can't stand up while on duty at an active military base where she has command duties. Killing is what she loves to do. She wishes she could be as tough and as good at killing as this group of elite white guys with big muscles who go around doing the impossible without breaking a sweat. At the end of the story there is no surprise at all to learn that she's going to try to be the first woman to join their elite group, if she can do it, which even her military-elite dad thinks is unlikely because girls just can't be boys.
If you're a white supremacist who thinks girls belong in the kitchen making sandwiches but who secretly longs to be dominated by a woman who could break you in half, this series is for you!

mediocre; homophobic; classist. excellent narrator
Revisado: 06-29-21
First off: The narrator is excellent.
I believe that this disguises the mediocrity off the writing just enough. It's all just a little off. Is Lennox a himbo? A brilliant eccentric? A Bertie Wooster? A Wimsey? Are he and everyone else around him homophobic (yes, they are; but did the author intend that or it is just background radiation from a not very woke author?) Why is it all a Big Reveal Gathering at the end, **again?**
The author uses a word wrongly here and there. Anachronisms are sprinkled here and there. None of this feels intentional. The "bad guy" is effeminate, because of course he is.
I really wanted to like this series.
Lazy writing, or mediocre writing? I don't know and I'm giving up trying to figure it out. Despite the narrator, this series isn't worth the time or credits.

Book 2: Major Disappointment (tropes! xenophobia!)
Revisado: 06-16-21
Excellent performance by the reader. Variety of voices, expression.
I expect some classism in a 1930s British upper class cozy mystery. Major Lennox seemed likeable enough in book one. In book two, he's arrogant and supremely classist, and Inspector Swift has become an apologist instead of a foil. Homophobia and lazy writing go hand in hand (fops = limp criminals, drag = degenerate). And there's a Noble Savage, too.
Does not live up to the first book at all.

Historia
Maisie Dobbs isn't just any young housemaid. Through her own natural intelligence - and the patronage of her benevolent employers - she works her way into college at Cambridge. After the War I and her service as a nurse, Maisie hangs out her shingle back at home: M. DOBBS, TRADE AND PERSONAL INVESTIGATIONS. But her very first assignment soon reveals a much deeper, darker web of secrets, which will force Maisie to revisit the horrors of the Great War and the love she left behind.

mediocrity or cringe, all the way through
Revisado: 04-27-21
There's nothing overtly wrong with this book, as long as you don't mind overwrought descriptions and mixed metaphors, accepted sexism, unclear time jumps, British classism, an all-white cast of characters, and jingoism. The good guys are all good and the bad guys are all baddies, and everyone is pretty and has scars except for the people who are so scarred they are hold-my-teacup-shocking to look at.
The narration is fine, good voices, with some occasional odd stresses or pauses.
Possibly if you love the Mary Sue Dobbs -- excuse me, Maisie Dobbs -- books already, you'll like this one because it's backstory. I don't know. This was my first and last Maisie Dobbs book. It wasn't terrible.
