SKM Chicago

This series is unraveling

Revisado: 11-05-24

Plot holes, boring, blah. Barely hanging on to this series. It was always just a B for me, there's the barest thread of a story I'm hanging on for, Skippy saves it obviously... Glad so many others of you like it?

Ridiculous in a boring way

Revisado: 06-29-24

Each book in this series *barely* held my interest to continue. I kept thinking the next book would pay off, and by the middle of the 4th book, I realized it never would.

I enjoy ridiculous and weird premises, but this was ridiculous and weird without being very entertaining . :::shrug::: (as a reference point, I really enjoyed the Bobiverse - space and aliens in a more compelling way)

Good enough to continue

Revisado: 06-10-24

I would equate it to a B+; entertaining enough, action sequences were easy to follow, any violence moved the story forward without being gratuitous, and there were a couple good twists. I could have used more complexity with the science, but it was pretty good overall. Maybe the first book is just laying the foundation to more complexity later on? Ray Porter is a rockstar narrator, as always.

Overrated and confusing

Revisado: 08-20-23

This book was terrible and confusing. I only kept going because the rest of the books are supposed to be better.

So much time wasted, pretty much a let down :(

Revisado: 01-15-22

Perhaps I didn't grasp enough information while listening vs reading, but I've been waiting since the first book for this series to be interesting and amazing, and have just finished this 3rd book with disappointment. It was just ok, and if I could go back in time, I would have skipped it altogether.

There are of course interesting moments, and the descriptive language is vivid and beautiful, but I just feel like a lot is missing. There are way too many irrelevant details in same ways, and not enough relevant details in others.

It's almost as if the story the author actually wanted to tell was at least twice as long....it's hard to explain otherwise. There are other reviews that more eloquently describe what is missing, but are on the same page as me. Read those, haha.

Enjoyable moments, but overall, not great

Revisado: 08-21-21

Maybe I just don't like the multi-voice production with sounds and music, but this is just a random bunch of stories with rare, interesting moments. I almost quit a few times, and don't think I'd be worse off if I had. Sorry!

Couldn’t finish it

Revisado: 08-14-21

Loved the series until the last couple of books. Got halfway. Wayyy too gory and over the top without much substance. I’ll just read a synopsis.

Yikes - even more subpar than the first

Revisado: 08-14-21

Disappointed - the story is feeling disjointed, and the narrator is trying to do a Serbian accent by just haltingly saying words. It’s maddening.

Just a long battle with a mildly interesting ending

Revisado: 03-14-21

I really wanted to like this, but the whole story is just a battle with only slight details about the flight or their lives. If there was more background on their lives in general, I would have been more receptive for the technical-detail-heavy story.

Push through the beginning - worth it!

Revisado: 12-20-20

Like others mentioned, it starts SO slow and so confusing. Give it time and it will be worth it!
