Enjoyed immensely, could maybe be a bit longer?

Revisado: 02-12-23

Really enjoyed the story. It’s basically redwall meets magnificent seven. I like that it was shorter, but I think the story could’ve used a BIT more fleshing out. Altogether a fun few hours :)

Good urban western

Revisado: 07-31-22

So far I think I like Mistborn better, but I’m really enjoying this series as well. Wax and Wayne have a great dynamic and the world feels like it’s progressed in a natural but cool way. If you like shoot-em-ups with fun and likable characters, you’ll have a good time.

Epic and heartfelt at the same time

Revisado: 07-25-17

Loved this book!! The scope is absolutely breathtaking and you truly feel like you're in a well thought out world with its own culture and beliefs. It's smart, delving into philosophy and morality in interesting and entertaining ways. It's also surprisingly heartfelt, with many moments of humor, as well as heartbreak. Also appreciated the use of two different voice actors for the men and women's perspectives. The only complaint i have is that the man's voice was not as versatile as it could have been with such a variety of characters. This is very nitpicky, and it's still very easy to follow along in the story. This book is LOTR in its scope and wisdom, and The Name of the Wind in its humor and wit. Truly, I can't recommend this book enough. Treat yourself.

Made magic whiny

Revisado: 03-27-17

This book had the potential to be awesome, but somehow the author managed to make it whiny and boring. Books like Harry Potter or The Name of the Wind treat magic and the learning thereof interesting. The Magicians gets close at times, but it ultimately keeps devolving into whiny tangents about how, even though the character is experiencing all these amazing things, it's not good enough. It kept reminding me of a petulant child complaint that they didn't get EXACTLY what they wanted for their birthday. That said, the narration was fairly well executed, and I couldn't bring myself to finish the story, so maybe it gets better towards the end. However, 2/3 into the book I kept waiting for it to pick up and stop sounding like an angsty high schooler and it never did. Not the worst read, but if you have a hunger for magic and adventure, there are lots of other books that can fill that need for you.

Great story, narrator not as good

Revisado: 09-29-16

It's a wonderful story and a nice edition to the Dark Tower series. Only complaint is that some of the voices of the character can sound fairly similar and that can be confusing. Other than that, great buy.

Wonderful Story, Audio mediocre

Revisado: 08-07-16

This series is becoming one of my all time favorites and this book is no slouch in the collection. The story is sweeping and the characters mesmerizing. The narrator does a masterful job breathing life into King's creations and I found that I could listen to this audio book for hours on end. My only complaint is with the audio itself. The audio would abruptly cut at times, leaving an awkward silence and then come right back in as if it didn't happen. Not a big complaint, but it did have a tendency to take me out of the story at times. Overall a great purchase and would recommend to anyone reading the series!
