Funny and Not Quite Boring

Revisado: 08-08-23

Narration is great. That part is easy. Johnathan McClain does a fabulous job, despite the slightly slow pace. Our main character is dynamic and funny. His interactions with the demon are really enjoyable.

But the story is slow. It isn't a long book but it takes the majority of the time for Jim to get to where he's going. And every character we meet after that feels stiff and not well thought out.

There is just enough action and humor to make it worth it though. And in the end it picks up pace. I am invested in the story now. And I look forward to the next one.

I Could Not Stop Listening

Revisado: 04-29-23

I finished the entire trilogy in about a week. I was slightly skeptical at first, as our MC is a stereotypical old lady. But it's an amusing clash of the character and her predicament, as well as a steady amount of character development throughout all three books. Later in the series we meet more characters that create a wonderful dynamic.

Andrea Parsneau does and excellent job. She is one of the best narrators I've heard. One thing, though, is the voice used for the System. It is high pitched and exaggerated. This becomes grating when there is so much information given. It is maddening.

Everything else is well worth it. 10/10. Would listen again.

Good, but Disjointed Short Stories

Revisado: 04-22-23

This is less of an addition to the story, and more of a series of what could have been interludes throughout the books. Some of the stories are pretty good, while others are forgettable. It's good to know what was going on with certain side characters during the events of the series. And there were some interesting origin stories. But a couple of the narrators were difficult to listen to. Overall though, it was a nice listen.

I Couldn't Get Very Far

Revisado: 02-27-23

This book seems good, and feels like it has the potential to be great. But I couldn't even make it an hour in. The narrator does great. But the voices of the dragon and the System (I assume it's called the System) both echo. I want ahead to see if they stopped, but they didn't. It's distracting. My own preferences kept me from continuing what is likely really good story.

Predictable and Unmemorable

Revisado: 02-27-23

It's YA sci-fi. I didn't expect anything else. The narration was not terrible. The story was flat, and the characters flatter. I finished only to find out what happened.

WOW

Revisado: 10-22-22

Very entertaining. Funny with a great storyline. Even the secondary characters are well thought out. Tess Irondale did an excellent job with voices, tones, and fluctuations. Plenty of erotic scenes, but there's a warning in the summary for a reason. Decent pacing and well-timed innuendos.I thoroughly enjoyed this book, but I think I'll wait a bit before listening to the next one.

Triggering

Revisado: 06-28-22

This book can be quite triggering.
It takes time to get used to the narration, which is very exaggerated. And the shrill voice of the five year old, whose perspective we get throughout the book, is almost headache inducing.
The story, though, is great. Along with it's pacing and characters. The author does a good job of capturing the innocent view of a small child.
Overall, good book. I do not recommend it if you are triggered by self harm, attempted suicide, imprisonment, rape, trauma, and/or anything along these lines.

Slight Disappointment

Revisado: 05-27-22

I was surprised to find that this book is composed entirely of letters between the two main characters. It's an interesting way to tell the story but not ideal. It seems to continuously switch from first person to second person, then back again, as they tell each other things despite the other having been present. I assume this is for the benefit of the audience but it's partially confusing, and partially annoying.
The narrators did well and the story is quite good. The only downside is the way the story is told.

Takes Quite a Bit of Focus

Revisado: 05-22-22

I often multitask while listening to audiobooks. With this duology, it is difficult to keep track of the plot unless you're completely focused on it. The progress is slow as well. This is a good story, though, and has great narration.
