The PM Owl

Enjoyable story

Revisado: 11-03-22

I really enjoyed this book. Very creative twist on fairy tales blended with reality. It actually read like two different books. Part Charlie's relationship with his father and Mr Bowditch and part 2 the fairytale. Very entertaining.

kept my interest

Revisado: 01-31-20

I enjoy historical fiction, so this novel checked that box. Much has been written about the Donner Party, so I initially enjoyed the supernatural twist... until I didn't. The revelation of the supernatural causes fell flat.
There were lots of storylines and at times it got confusing.
Also its not a spoiler to say.that.pretty much everyone dies at the end which wouldn't be so bad but I was really rooting for a few of the characters.

entertaining enough

Revisado: 10-30-19

the author builds up the mystery but the last pages of the book seemed rushed and anti-climatic

Action, quirky characters, solid narration

Revisado: 05-12-19

The action starts right away in this story and continued non stop until the end. There are so many interesting characters including Khadim. Khadim is s bit of an anti hero and at times its hard to root for him. Actually at times its hard to figure out who to empathize with but I guess thats what the book is about...no one is a 100% good or bad
Except the demons...they're bad. Taylor created an interesting universe and through out the book he hints at the order and mythology of this world but I want to more.At times the backstory of the characters was more interesting than the current action. I hope we get to learn more about Khadim's orgin story in the next book.
Overall I enjoyed Constant Gray.

Google the House before you buy it!

Revisado: 03-27-19

As usual, the characters in this Haunted House story were a couple of idiots making one bad decision after another. There was a bit of a twist at the end but reason for the haunting was presented in an anti-climatic manner. I wish the author spent more time on plot development and less time on creating a suspenseful atmosphere

Buy the complete series not 1 book at a time

Revisado: 03-22-19

I'm enjoyed the story but it's not a whole book it's part of a series that you can purchase for one credit as opposed to buying each book one credit at a time. I feel like I wasted a credit. Also In Absentia does not read like a novel in a series
but really it's just the first few chapters of a novel. I really don't like the way Audible serialized this novel and pretends that it is really a whole novel in a series just to get you to spend your credits.

Interesting concept told from a fresh perspective

Revisado: 12-03-18

I found this take on dystopia to be very interesting. Like Battlestar Galactica without the hope. The author does a good job of making the reader/listener feel the claustrophobia and desperation of the characters. In regards to the plot I found myself more interested in the backstory instead of the current events.
It did take awhile for me to listen to the whole book and that's because the main characters suffered so much that I had to stop listening at times. A few characters , especially the antagonists are not very well developed and a couple of characters just pop up out of nowhere to advance the plot. Also the main character Aster is hard to like but when you see what they have to cope with you end up sympathizing with them.

Epic Novel

Revisado: 10-26-17

This novel is really three separate stories that the author deftly weaves together. My favorite part is the story of how the three main characters meet. The author does in in depth character study of each.
The narration was awesome.
cons- the author goes overboard with some if the gory details, Just a bit too flowery in his descriptive prose at times. Another distraction was the way the main character Micah spoke. For some reason he never used contractions, so he sounded very stilted and robotic. The author never explained the reason either. Weird bit not the weirdest part of the story.
