Another fine addition to an excellent series

Revisado: 08-28-18

Not sure if I've said this before about the series, but Mixon's EoB series is one of the few that I jump on as soon as there's a new release. Looking forward to seeing what happens to PK... both of them. :)

Veronica Giguere's narration is fantastic. She manages to keep the various characters unique as she gives them life, and her vocal talent seems to get better from one book to the next.

I received this audiobook free in exchange for an honest review.

We need more Evolution

Revisado: 04-24-18

This is the third, (and for the moment, last) book in the Evolution series, and I continue to be impressed. The story is well written, and Ms. Huchton voices her characters incredibly well.

Thanks for sharing your world with us.

Even better than Book 1

Revisado: 04-24-18

The author dug deeper into the characters in this second book in the Evolution series. There are some tropes to romance, there's just no getting around that. It's part of the reason I typically don't care for the genre... what many find a comforting storyline, I usually find too predictable.

However, just because I don't usually care for romance doesn't mean I can't appreciate good writing. And these books are VERY well written. I am writing this review after having listened to all three in the series, and I can tell you right now that this book, the second of three, is by far my favorite.

Ironically enough, it's the secondary characters that made the book for me. They are fully fleshed out, and (despite their superhero status) very relatable. There is one point in particular, where the loss of a secondary character was so well written that it literally choked me up.

Well done, Ms. Huchton.

Not what I usually read, but glad I gave it a shot

Revisado: 04-24-18

First, know that I hardly EVER leave reviews (long story, but there are reasons). Second, know that I am not usually a follower of super hero fiction. Third, I'm not a big fan of romance, either.

That being said, I'm a big proponent of indie writers, and love audiobooks, so when I won the Evolution audiobooks in a contest, I thought I would give them a try.

I'm so glad I did. This series has made me break my review embargo.

The Evolution story is a mashup of romance and superhero fiction, well written, and well narrated.

Starla Huchton, you've gained a new fan.

Good start to an excellent series

Revisado: 11-10-17

I've been travelling a lot for work, so I downloaded all five of the currently available "Starship's Mage" books, based on recommendations from some friends. I am so glad that I did. This first novel reads like it was originally written as a series of episodes for a magazine or some such. I assume that's why it was labeled as an omnibus. It was obvious where the "episodes" opened & closed, but this didn't detract too much from the overall enjoyment of the story.

As for the narration, Jeffrey Kafer is excellent, as always. I don't think he could turn in a bad vocal performance if he tried to. :)

Who doesn't love a kick-ass princess?

Revisado: 06-20-17

What was one of the most memorable moments of Veil of Shadows?

The princess learning to come to grips with the changes that have been forced upon her had just the right mix of determination and humor to make the character sympathetic to the listener/reader.

What about Veronica Giguere’s performance did you like?

As always, V does a great job voicing the whole cast of characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes. Where the first book in the series was a good introduction to the world and characters, this was a great launch into the larger picture, with plenty of action, character development, and plot expansion.

Any additional comments?

Now, on to the third title. Yeah, I'm definitely hooked.

Great start to a wonderful series

Revisado: 06-20-17

Would you listen to Empire of Bones again? Why?

Possibly. I don't often listen to books more than once, but this was a fun story.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Empire of Bones?

Great intro to a nasty antagonist in the Pale Ones. I have a feeling there is MUCH more to come with that story.

What about Veronica Giguere’s performance did you like?

Veronica has a fantastic ability with voices. This is definitely not just a straight read. She manages to find a new voice for each character and bring them to life in the story.

Great story - Great voice performance

Revisado: 11-18-16

What did you love best about We Are Legion (We Are Bob)?

This was a wonderful, inventive story that not only serves as an entertaining sci-fi adventure, but also explores the theme of individuality. In other words, what makes us... us?

What about Ray Porter’s performance did you like?

Ray Porter, the narrator/voice actor, gave an outstanding performance, especially considering that most of the characters were variations of the original "Bob". So many "Bob"s, yet I never got confused as to who was speaking. Excellent job.
