So good but too short

Revisado: 03-24-25

It feels even shorter when going back over events happening previously. I just want the author to be able to send the books back to the past so I could read them all now.

Narrator didn’t even listen to the previous books

Revisado: 07-28-24

I understand the need to change readers at times but at least review the previous work so as to lessen the cognitive dissonance. Even with the new* characters there are what I would consider mistakes. Such as using the wrong characters voice for the wrong line of dialogue and not even doing a reread.

20hrs have never gone faster

Revisado: 09-08-23

Author is amazing.
Narrator is amazing.
Very unique in that there are 2 POVs but both are the main character.
The author(s)? (idk the previous series had thundamoo as an alias of Natalie) are really good at handling and representing neurodivergent characters.
They are also masterful at world building, although I do prefer the hard magic of vigor mortis this was done really well.
I’m just disappointed I have to wait til the next book comes out.

What a ride, but now the void

Revisado: 06-12-23

This has been one of my favorite book series. And now that it’s over… well I don’t know but at least we aren’t on a cliff.

Good ideas (mostly) poor execution (mostly)

Revisado: 05-15-23

I will start off with saying that there are moments of actual greatness interspersed throughout this bundle.

However, this series had what feels to be little to no editing oversight. I had to go back and listen to several parts again to make sure I wasn’t mishearing things. Such as “Swinging his blade, <name> was sent flying. But the “his” mentioned wasn’t the named person in the sentence. There were also cases where things were just not brought up when they should have been. Like a person gets wrecked and sent flying but they are brought back to perfect condition and the chapter ends. Then the next chapter starts with the group just proceeding like nothing happened only to later mention that that person somehow had their wounds healed.

Another thing and this is a pet peeve of mine but I think it’s amateurish; They used the word “interesting” way too much, like way way too much. They used it in dialog even when what was proposed could even be better described with an antonym of interesting, such as literally digging holes in the ground, not for the purposes of traps. If you are thinking about using the word interesting just write what you would actually think is interesting or write characters doing something to indicate that they are interested instead of them just saying interesting.

And then the part that made me stop listening and write a review from the sheer stupidity of it. (Spoilers if you care)…

The kobolds can speak with scorpions because they are both “scaly creatures” wtf. One doesn’t need to be a biologist to know that arthropods and lizards have nothing in common.

There is a different reader

Revisado: 10-16-19

He doesn’t even attempt to maintain the voices from the previous books. Also several lines are repeated.

Loved the trio of readers

Revisado: 10-18-18

I’ve liked every Drew Hayes book I’ve listened to, although this one is my favorite so far. I love the idea of “The Narrative” as a cosmic force. The portrayal of the three main characters is outstanding. I just hope book 2 comes before too long

Just as great as the first book

Revisado: 10-17-18

I like how they made the mystery solvable but not obvious, and I really like the the growth of Seki as a character. Only complaint is that there isnt a third book yet but that’s just me being impatient.

Not a chosen one!!

Revisado: 10-12-18

I love this book because it doesn’t give the main character some arbitrary ability that no one else can have. Also the author made it feel like an actual video game and made it so the character although inexperienced was not irritating. I just wish the reader would have read through health values a bit faster.

Author/reader thing is super cool

Revisado: 10-09-18

I really like that the author read the book cause then I know that all the characters sound as close to intended as possible. I also really like the idea of a fluid lore for the umbra depending on legend. I would recommend this to anyone who loves the Dresden files.
