As a practitioner of yoga and buddhism mark's practice of Aikito in his work riding horses resonated with me. This book speaks about breath, space, intention, etc. Within only a few rides I was able to use some of the techniques mentioned in this book to see when in my own riding I wasn't breathing or when my thoughts strayed. As I began to focus just on those things my connection to my horse immediately got softer.
The narrator was a bit stiff (perhaps that is what M.R. sounds like?)and mispronounced things at times.

We have a futuristic dystopian world, a travel adventure, foes to fight, and mysteries which never seem to get resolved!?

The way this was left, with so many things hanging that we were left to take on faith?

I wrongly thought that there was going to be a second book.

I really like Alistair Reynolds books, but for me this was only fair.

Great voice acting.

I'm most pleased with the fact that this story leaves us expectant for the next installment!
In this book well known and loved characters return. New alien species are introduced. The Bobs travel farther and invent more technology.

My third A. C. series, so different from the others. With fully developed characters and universe in a story with some clichés, but greatly entertaining. I will listen to it again. Very well voiced.

I felt that I needed to listen to this and I'm glad I did. Though this is not a book that I will repeat, which is often my habit with Audible. It's rather dated (so, also rather sexist). Ray Porter is one of my favorite narrators, and I did think he did a great job with these stories as well.

Gaiman creates another vivid imaginary (or is it?) world with complex characters and plot twists. This book leaves me wanting more.

What surprised me, was Gaiman's ability to take on different voices and read his own characters so very beautifully.

Usually I can't wait to return to an audio book that I'm in the middle of. But sadly, not this.
I may be in the minority, but I found the characters two - dimensional, the writing OK, but not great, and didn't find much science in this scifi.

The narrator was decent with what he had to work with. The maze, itself was my favorite character, the others were all too two - dimensional. Women were only mindless sexual objects.

I would have enjoyed this more, 5 stars, if it weren't for it's portrayal of the female characters. It just seemed a lazy writers touch. Sure, what old, obscenely older man wouldn't want to know he could always attract a 20 year old girl. (200 year old youthful woman with 20 year old guy anyone?) The author seems to believe that most males in general would want to reduce women's roles in space to an airheaded companion or prostitute.

Other than that, unnecessary cliche, the book was truly fun, creative and engaging. AndI loved the narration.

I'm going to try the next one... from my library...to see if the trend continues or hopefully evolves.
