Thank goodness for a different narrator

Revisado: 07-11-22

My only complaint is it’s too short. :)
I enjoyed getting vignettes into how some of the main cultures and technology from the other books first developed.
And let’s give
Thanks for a break from John Lee. I don’t get why he’s so popular. He still sound like William Shatner over doing British ascents to me. The only book his style worked for me was the Spellmonger series. And it’s not because that was where I first heard him because it wasn’t. Ive returned books because of him.

Enjoyable

Revisado: 03-30-20

This series has much in the way of battle tactics and strategy. Subjects I have never been drawn too but is very interesting and entertaining in these books even if I prefer the world building and characters more.
I do wick they picked a different narrator. John lee is not my favorite. He chews scenery and has a cadence that makes every character sounds snooty and sarcastic. For these, it fits many of the characters. I’m he could work on his range for distinguishing characters.

Buy this version! No background music and sounds

Revisado: 03-17-20

I am loving this series and Vance is a very good narrator. I thought I was hallucinating the sound music and water because I started this late at night lol. Nope, there is a version with music and some sound effects and it’s very distracting and the music does a horrible job of matching the tone. Very happy I could exchange it for this version

Worth every minute

Can’t wait to download the next one. Completely engaging all the way through. Thoughtful and meaningful world and character building. The narrators were brilliant as well.

Yes the science is now outdated but I love coming at a police procedural from the scientific angle. Enjoyed enough to download the next in the series.
I thought the narrator did a good job. Yes she had a smoky voice, the main character and many of the others are smokers so it fits. There are some cringe worthy voices she does for the guard and nanny but overall she did a good job.

Lame

Revisado: 11-27-19

The formula for these books breaks down to DI Lottie deciding not to share information with her partner. Information that any other cop would share. Over and over this happens. The books would be much shorter if Lottie was a better detective. There bones of a good story are there but overall it fails in a frustrating way. And over and over I wonder how Lottie made DI

The narrator is fabulous.

Amazing!

Revisado: 10-28-19

I’m obsessed with this trilogy. It’s like nothing I’ve read. Jemisin has created a wondrous world. You can easily visualize even though it’s like nothing before it. The characters are complete. And Miles is one of the best narrators I’ve heard. The combination creates audiobooks that you want to close your eyes and watch in your mind.

Why not just hire Shatner to read this

Revisado: 10-16-19

This guy can do accents. But he also sound like an extreme William Shatner. It’s horribly funny. I laughed so much I didn’t have the heart to return it. A good laugh is worthwhile. And underneath was another enjoyable story.

Narrated by Brit Shatner

Revisado: 10-16-19

Lee can do voices but he has the cadence of someone mocking William Shatner which add humor to prose that are not humorous. I powered through listening to his ridiculousness again because the story was good. I had to know what the fallout for Barb would be. He is NOT suited for reading these books. Maybe Hitchihikers Guide the Galaxy. That would be a good listen.

Narrator wrong fit

Revisado: 06-12-19

The stories are good. I bought this because I love a series and 3 for 1 was hard to pass up. The narrator makes the characters much more pompous and unlikable than is called for. All. The. Characters. Won’t be getting any more from this series because he reads most the others. Too bad.
