WELL WORTH THE WAIT ! ! !

Revisado: 08-01-17

Love my excursions into Elan and beyond. This story did not disappoint. It touched upon so many points that are part of the Chronicles and Revelations series that it was filled with those "a-ha" moments that felt like visiting old friends. The story is wonderfully consistent and I cant' say enough about the performance of Tim Gerard Reynolds. Truly looking forward to my next opportunity to return to this cast of characters.

After reading this story, I would hope that at some point, Mr. Sullivan has the opportunity to actually develop "The Book of Bryn (sp)" for us to read. I absolutely love the quotes from this character to begin chapters.

Truth is always stranger than fiction.

Revisado: 05-14-17

It would be very easy to focus on the sections of this book that deal with the disappearance of Randy Morgenson and the search that ensued. However, the story of Randy's life is more incredible and reaffirming than any character in fiction I have encountered. I have lived in Fresno, CA for over fifty years and consider Yosemite, Sequoia, and Kings Canyon National Parks great areas to temporarily disappear and reemerge with a new found love for life. To hear the entries in Randy's Ranger Logs and Journals that focus on the intimacy he felt while in the back country is a welcome confirmation of what I have felt on many day trips, let alone multiple day backpacking trips.

If you are familiar the with history of these National Parks, the topics covered in this book give you more of an insider perspective of the politics and struggles that were part of the NPS during this time period.. When you realize who Randy's father was, the menagerie of the who's who Randy was exposed to in early life, and the contributions Randy made to the experiences of thousands of park visitors, you have to ask why his story was not told sooner.

I do not very often advocate for books to become films. However, this is the type of character I think most actors wait a lifetime to portray. Whatever inspired Eric Blehm to research and share the life of this amazing man is greatly appreciated.

I ONLY BLAME MYSELF.

Revisado: 07-15-16

After reading the Sullivan's previous works regarding the empire, it was wonderful to step back and see where everything was put in motion. I have found myself addicted to this fantasy realm as the storytelling is full of twists, strong heroes and heroines, sympathetic characters, and an unmatched ability to keep the reader wanting more.

According to Sullivan, he has already finished this set of books with what he states is enough material for four more books.

I blame myself for listening to this book before the other books were released. Like binge watching certain television programs, I tend to binge listen to good stories that spread out over several books. In this case, I will not be able to do so. Next book isn't scheduled for release until Summer 2017. If I was able to put it on my pre-order list today, I would.

Sullivan's writing coupled with Reynolds' performance easily makes this a must listen.

BREAK THE CHAINS

Revisado: 07-15-16

This final segment of this trilogy was masterful. Pierce Brown weaved so many different threads from various story lines together in what appeared to be and effortless manner. You find yourself unable to put the book down because you know you are getting closer to finding out the various resolutions to each of the characters you have grown close to through the hours of a riveting performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds.

It is my sincere hope that Pierce Brown is able to bring us back into this world in future novels.

CAN'T WAIT TO START BOOK 3

Revisado: 07-10-16

Once again, the performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds alone makes this a must listen. However, the author has once again woven a story that is very difficult to put down. I personally love that this futuristic society has such an appreciation for the literature we consider to be classics today. References to Milton and Homer, along with references to all the Roman gods just makes me appreciate the world in which his characters live. The manner in which book 2 ended, makes me want to begin book 3 immediately.

STORY TELLING AT ITS FINEST

Revisado: 07-10-16

Absolutely could not stop listening to this story. Loved the characters, plot twists, setting, etc . . . As soon as I finished the book, I purchased Book 2 in the series. The performance by Tim Gerard Reynolds was flawless. I have listened to him perform other works and find his work to be amazing.

ONLY THINGS MISSING WERE MULDER AND SCULLY.

Revisado: 06-12-16

I loved the premise of the book and enjoyed the questions that remain unanswered. the author hints she is not finished with these characters. Looking forward to future stories.

I had a difficult time with the performance. the characters' voices were similar.

85 HOURS INVESTED - WORTH EVERY MINUTE

Revisado: 06-01-16

Just finished book three of the Mistborn series. After 85 hours of listening, I wanted more. I would highly recommend that you listen to books 1 and 2 before reading this book. Brandon Sanderson hooked me with his characters and the time he took to develop them. Michael Kramer's performance was a four star effort.

READ THE ENTIRE TRILOGY
