Great storytelling!

I’ve been re-listening to this series in anticipation of the new release. Liaden is world building at its best.

Great installment

Revisado: 04-27-23

I’ve listened to it three times, and I always catch something new I previously missed. Wonderfully nuanced storytelling. The narrator is improving too- no complaints here!!

Lots of good stuff going on

Revisado: 04-25-23

Great book! A lot of plot elements for the story arc and series made it to Neogenesis. It leaves me wanting more. I definitely wish there was a better narrator, I can’t tell who is talking- all the characters sound the same.

Solid Debut

Revisado: 10-15-22

Narration is good, but more voices are needed in his repertoire- a couple of women’s voices at least.

Same hero, same heroine, same protagonist, same antagonist, same challenges,

Revisado: 08-04-22

The first book was great, 2nd and 3rd are exactly the same characters, same personalities. ALL OF THEM. The only difference is their names and the underlying question “will the AI live or die.” After reading the 3rd installment, I won’t be continuing the series.

Great Book

Revisado: 03-29-18

The author did an outstanding job reworking this classic. Narrator has 1 flaw - all of his characters sound the same.

Engaged, again.

Revisado: 03-12-15

I'm listening to this again because the last 2 books in the series have recently been released and I felt I needed a refresher as to what was going on in the series so far. I meant to just skip through it quickly and get on to the next ones, but it's such a delightfully fun listen that I found myself not wanting to just get on with it, but to relax, listen and enjoy. In my book, that's what makes a 5-star.

I Couldn't Stop Listening! I loved it!

Revisado: 09-08-12

I really enjoyed this book, I will be recommending it to all my friends- something I don't do often, it's a great start to what looks to be a fun series. I ended up losing 4 hours of sleep because I couldn't stop listening. I get excited when I can add someone new to my Author Watch List, and I've now added Phillipa Bornikova! Im glad I ignored Robin's bad review. IncidentalIy, I was going to skip this book originally because of that bad review, but when I decided to check other sites for reviews (i.e. Amazon, Goodreads) all I found were good reviews - except, wierdly, by another review posted by "Robin" on the same day who also couldn't find anything good about the book, and who claimed to not even be able to finish reading her kindle edition and send it back requesting a refund. Is she talking about this book??? She certainly has gone to a lot of trouble to buy the book in different formats just to be able to post super negative reviews........mmmmm, I love a good mystery. Anyway, I don't often post reviews, but since this is a new book from a new author I didn't want anyone who might be wavering to pass this gem up just because of one bad review.

Good if listened to in double speed.

Revisado: 12-07-10

This book is Mr. Sanderson's second book and is a vast improvement! The narrator is horrible, it is as if he is reading to intellect-impaired toddlers -- but if you listen in double time it is ok.

I tried to like it

Revisado: 12-01-10

I absolutely love the Mistborn Trilogy and The Way of Kings, so I thought I'd give Elantris (his first novel) a chance. I REALLY wanted to like it, I tried so hard! I failed. I understood the world in which the author was trying to create, but I was not engrossed by it. I don't care about the characters at all, all they do is spout platitudes. It just seemed flat, and lacking somehow. I got tired of listening, and set my iPod at double speed just to get through it. Thankfully, the author has improved his writing by leaps and bounds since this first attempt.
