It’s a good listen

Revisado: 09-02-22

I enjoyed this book. Enough action to keep it interesting, not too preachy, and enough character development to allow you to care what happens to them.

Not my cup of tea

Revisado: 02-25-22

I don’t normally write reviews and I really don’t want to do this one. So, I’ll try to be brief.

Storyline: not terrible to be honest, but the writing is not in line with what would be expected in a book. Not sure if it was the reading or the writing but it was stilted to my ears. I got bored very early on and almost requested a refund. I didn’t quit on it bc I decided that every book doesn’t have to be a masterpiece. I know if I’d written one it most certainly wouldn’t be. Thus, I tried to be less critical and just finish it. Let me say that I like to bookmark my spot and listen until I fall asleep. I set a timer so it doesn’t get too far ahead of me if I fall asleep. If I pass out early I just go back to my mark and start from there. I never did that in this book. I just let it go. I didn’t feel any worse for not having done so.

Reading: voice quality is good but the dragon and the weir cat (sp?) seemed to be the same and was so grisly that it was a bit hard to listen to. Other characters seemed fine overall. No real complaints tho.

Would I recommend: No, but that doesn’t mean you won’t enjoy it. I simply think it wasn’t for me.

Surprisingly Good

Revisado: 07-04-19

I’d heard about this book and thought I’d stay open minded. It didn’t sound like something I would normally like. However, it’s a story that is well told and captivating. I’m an action story listener. The more the better. This was action of a different sort. I don’t want to give away details so I will just say that I think most listeners/readers will not be disappointed.

Really well done

Revisado: 09-24-15

I'm more of a fantasy reader/listener, but I thoroughly enjoyed this after getting through the first part. I found myself captivated with the story action at least twice. I would recommend it.

Good story

Revisado: 08-06-15

I don't usually like mysteries too much, but this story was well done and well read. I enjoyed it. Criticism: not enough information to allow one to attempt to solve the mystery before all the details were made available at the end or near end of the story. Still, a good read/listen.

Monotone

Revisado: 06-29-15

Story was decent, but too much flipping around in my opinion. Performance was so monotone I felt like falling asleep every time I listened except at the denouement. Decent story tho. I ground my way to the end, but I have heard worse for sure. Wouldn't listen again if read by the same performer.

A little long in the tooth

Revisado: 05-16-15

Good story overall. Seems like the author was finding his feet as the story moved on. Also, it seemed like there was quite a bit of filler as descriptions of some things seemed too long and didn't move the story along or turned out to generally be irrelevant IMO.

What I liked best was the pacing. The characters were never just rushing around doing things needlessly despite long rambles by the author. I plan to buy the next book, so I'm not trying to be overly critical. Just thought I would pass along my observations.
