Does justice to a classic

Revisado: 02-11-25

Rereading (listening) to Dune after seeing the movies allowed me to tune in to the quality of Herbert’s writing and the many subtle elements he built into the story that could never be captured on screen

Real, conflicted and loving relationships

Revisado: 11-20-24

Many people have written that this is their favorite book by Guy Gavriel Kay. I have only read (listened to) six of his books so far, but I would have to agree with their analysis. All of his stories have some interesting historic relevance and great scene descriptions; this one has the deepest dive into the characters’ internal and emotional life that I have seen so far. Enjoyable on many levels:)

Enchanting tale - that could have been told over many nights around the caravan

Revisado: 10-17-24

This is a book you can sink into and enjoy. It weaves together history, adventure, war, romance and philosophy

Interesting twist on Huckleberry Finn

Revisado: 09-15-24

I could listen to the narrator all day. The story contains many opportunities to consider race and racism from the perspective of a slave. some of the dialogue, including interior monologue, does not ring true for the period of time the story is set in. But I guess that’s why they call it artistic license.

Fabulous narration by the author!

It’s an original tale told in an original way! Wonderful narrative. If you love Fantasy you won’t regret it.
Read it!

Slow to start, but ultimately a very satisfying read/listen

Revisado: 07-15-24

This is not as compelling as Water Knife (Bacigalupi’s masterwork so far IMO) and the pace is sometimes slow as he wanders into describing details of details, BUT it is a promising beginning to a new series with an author who has established writing chops.

A hidden gem!

Revisado: 07-01-24

Another reviewer said this book would be a considered a “classic“ if it had been written by a better known author. I couldn’t agree more. This tangled tale of good/evil devils and angels during the time of Plague in France could have been simplistic and moralistic in the hands of a less talented writer, but Buehlman weaves a complex and compelling historical/magical tale that you won’t easily forget. I would have found this hidden gem if I hadn’t first read and loved “The Black Tongue Thief” by Buehlman, another story that is hard to describe but shouldn’t be missed!

Insanity

Revisado: 01-18-24

This supposedly deep and mystical “treatise”, is actually just trashy, cultish nonsense. Don’t waste your time we’re mental energy.

Anxious and self-aware bot

Revisado: 01-13-24

A great continuation of the story. MB is an entertaining and interesting protagonist - not your typical bot

Even better than the first book!

Revisado: 11-04-23

So much fun! The author uses everything she learned at Yale and much more to spin a tale that will keep you guessing (and laughing!)
