Tedious

Revisado: 04-10-23

The story of rikus failing his way to victory through no skill of his own. After how much I enjoyed the first novel this one has been disappointing. There’s no achievement, no character growth, no hero’s journey. It’s just one wrong turn after another mixed with a few completely unbelievable coincidences.

Good humor interesting premise wasted

Revisado: 09-05-21

The main character is an egomaniacal male chauvinist pig and all of the female characters are puddle deep vixens that exist only to be comforted and showcase his sexual prowess. I have to assume that the author has some serious insecurities if this is what he believes makes a good main character. I enjoyed the author's humor and I love the premise but I won't read anything else by him just because of his disgusting characters.

Entertaining and terrible

Revisado: 07-22-21

The "logic" of the main character, and all of the characters really, is laughable (to pu it politely). The reasons given for their behaviors are... what is it you humans say? Bullshit. While the story could have been written by a horny chimpanzee in crack, the humor alone makes it worth the listen. I can't call the book good. But I can say it is at times hilarious.

Loved it

Revisado: 07-21-21

Rosario does a pretty good job. She doesn't have many different voices but her performance is, well, that of the excellent actress she is. The story itself was extremely enjoyable. I loved all the scientific details.

Rushed conclusion

Revisado: 07-21-21

I felt like the author really didn't know what to do at the end of his story. I enjoyed the first two books much more.

Pretty interesting

Revisado: 11-04-20

It was different and interesting. I wasn't amazed by it. The plot was good but nothing really special. I enjoyed the characters though. I thought the author did a really good job making them unique, even of the reader made them mostly all sound the same. It wasn't too hard to tell who was speaking, bit every now and then I wasn't sure until the author clarified. It was worth a listen and I might pick up some more of the series.

not sure I want to hear the rest the series

Revisado: 10-29-20

The story has potential. There's not really any character development or world building. Relevant world information is mostly provided as needed. A lot of things are skipped and did cause me some confusion. I still don't understand the gauntlets. They shoot energy, that's about all the explanation we get. Overall, it's a pretty shallow experience. I wouldn't call it bad though. It's an average story with the rough makings of an interesting world and undeveloped characters.

The only thing that I found particularly difficult to deal with was the main reader's inability to enunciate any word ending in "ing". His use of compound non-words "hadtuh" and many others was also a point of irritation for me. While that works for dialogue or an inner monologue, that's not how he was using it. I think that's just how he speaks. I also found it odd that he would very rarely properly enunciate an "ing" word and then 3 sentences later say the same word, endin' it without the G. Listenin' tuh him for 10 hours was difficult. I had to take a few breaks.

Better than I expected

Very good performance. The story was good enough. It was unpredictable and I appreciate that.

Good but I liked the first 2 better

Revisado: 10-11-20

The whole daddy issue dynamic is not something that I find compelling. So it wasn't as interesting to me as the first two books. That's just personal preference though. I like what a whore for affirmation Opal became. It made her more human to have such an eye-roll inducing character flaw. But it was a bit sudden. She was more about independence in the previous books. Seemed like a sudden change.

boring and sleep-inducing

Revisado: 03-24-20

The story is okay. The author puts in a lot extraneous snarky commentary. It's hit and miss, but almost always superfluous. The reader is monotone, fast-speaking and sleep-inducing. Between his poor reading and the slow story, I can't listen to it without dozing off. I gave it a three because it is a good book to fall asleep listening to.
