BLOOPERS!

Revisado: 05-02-24

Seriously… it’s almost like the publisher/producer was offended by the lack of offensive language in the book, so they had to add the blooper section so the ending included some trash.

These people are strangely uncreative for folks who sit on the black thrones of popular entertainment.

Slogging along; agonizing

Revisado: 11-19-23

Forced. Forced. Forced; Like ground processed meat pressed through an orifice that now only resembles what it was before, wrapped in plastic.
So…
When the author says the writing went quickly, I think he is lying. This was not some smooth sailing writ. Rather, it seems like a fight: agony of will power, that never hits a critical mass of flow. —You know- that flow that makes a story enjoyable and unpredictable? Well, he misses it.

It reads like a slog, with wholly predictable results. - Wordy, but lacking: as if, he tried to recapture the essence of the 13 yr old, uninhibited genius, but all we get is the adulty darkness of a cynic who has lost the joy.


On the other hand, this is a fine study of the potential challenges of adulthood; when idealistic philosophy of youth gives way to the continuum of acquiescence that turns dreams into ambitions, and then the general retardation of what we cannot repel. I do sympathize. I just don’t like it.

Ugh! So many black tentacles!!!

Revisado: 06-10-23

It’s basically a book about black tentacles in various forms, and nether that is insufficient, somehow being sufficient over and over and over again.

Really—
I love this series, especially the wise cracks between the main characters… but somehow, it seemed like the author lost his flow, with this one, and slogged along, trying to manufacture the energy to tell a story of mortals fighting an impossible fight. He made an unconquerable enemy, the battles with it became monotonous and far fetched, and you can feel the tension in the author’s own dissonance. It doesn’t suck. It’s just… not really good.

Still, it’s worth listening to, if you have made it this far into Blaze and Dante’s story… I guess.

Worst book in the series!!

Revisado: 06-10-23

It just doesn’t have enough Eithan… but then… who’d have guessed that Lindon is actually Mercy’s Father. —-Now that is a crazy twist.

And… I frigg’n loved it.
That’s all.

Happy Story!

Revisado: 04-15-23

After finishing book 2, I am thrilled with this series so far.
I’m encouraged by its support of honesty, fun, kindness, freedom and Liberty, achievement through effort, sexual morality, hope and goodness. —but having said, it is not a prudish flaunt. Rather, it is an organic appeal to our best human potentials: even with the R rated language that pops up on occasion.
I hope it stays the course and does not become a bait and switch. That would be sad.

Keep your hat Mr Estes. I don't want it.

Revisado: 04-15-23

I think I got further, the first time I tried this book. The second time, when I got to chapter 6, I remembered why I stopped listening. --- No thank you.

W.W does it again.

Revisado: 04-11-23

Totally compelling, original, riveting, clever and fun! I’m a fan, and I feel a bit spoiled- inasmuch as I get to chill out and enjoy, for a dozen hours or so, what Wight labored over for … however long he labored… bless him, either way—

And- TB is a true master

It was okay

Revisado: 04-11-23

Characters were moderately compelling, plot was mostly free of holes with some believable twists, moral framework was “good enough” and the narrator was relatively talented.
It was just… kind of water off my back. Good enough to listen to, but not good enough to talk about, or recommend to anyone.
