I love the interactions between the characters. The way they balancing having powers and the stress of a college degree. But most importantly, how friendship and love is always important

Estoy releyendo esta serie después de 10 años. Allende nunca me ha desepcionado, entretenida historia de amor, aventura y magia.

Learned so much about the white house!

I enjoyed hearing the perspective of Michelle Obama concerning politics, motherhood, and her upbringing. Now everytime I am struggling with impostor syndrome I will play her voice over saying: "YOU BELONG HERE!"

Worst Narration Ever!

Revisado: 02-05-19

Disclaimer: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Performance: It was bad guys. Really, really bad. The production itself wasn't great: there were times where the narrator repeated a sentence multiple times, I could hear the breathing and swallowing of the narrator, at the beginning of each chapter there was a "news" bit where an anchorman basically gives the headline and during that there was this weird noise that made it hard to hear. The narrator was boring, had no differentiation between characters. Regardless of age or sex they all sounded the same.

Story: The story had aliens, immortal beings, government conspiracies, dystopian technology, clones, and I could go on and on. It was all just too much. The characters were boring, predictable, and lacked depth and development. There were logical inconsistencies throughout the book. And the plot fell flat. The climax was absolutely boring and it seemed as if the most fun parts were skipped over completely.

Overall: Bad, bad, bad. Zero out of five stars. Do not recommend at all.

Nothing to write home about

Revisado: 01-10-19

Disclaimer: I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review. Also, I have not read any other book in this series.

Synopsis: The story takes place in a world where humans came in possession of metabands that gave them superpowers. However, one year ago the metabands spontaneously stopped working altogether and superpowers were gone. We follow our protagonist Batman - no wait, Midnight, one year later. Midnight, a once masked vigilante, has hung up his cowl and now searches for clues for the reason why the metabands no longer work. He and Amanda, a previous metahuman, cross paths and work together to find her missing friend who has been captured by a cult leader claiming to know the return of the powers brought by the metabands.

Performance: I haven't been so torn by a performance before. The voices for the character were great. He captured the emotions of Midnight, Amanda, Luna, and the cult leader very well. But the narration, the parts that weren't the words or thoughts of any characters, was flat and monotone. It was honestly jarring and slightly distracting from the story.

Pros: It was a light, quick, and at times fun read. There were certain action sequences that I enjoyed and had me excited.

Cons: Characters all seem very flat and predictable. Dialogue between characters was kind of awkward. Specific scenes in the books made it seem that the author did not do his research at all and didn't know what he was talking about. Majority of that were during action/fighting scenes. I won't go over everything but one clear example: One character who was a previous vigilante was in a fight against our protagonist when the pulled a gun and fired. The gun didn't fire and the character didn't understand why until the protagonist showed that he had removed the clip. This isn't remotely realistic, and this is coming from someone who isn't even a gun nut, because a gun without a clip not only has visible differences but you should immediately be able to tell the differences with the weight as well.

Overall: I wasn't able to get into the characters and there were too many scenes that didn't fit right for me to enjoy. Two out of five stars, will not continue with the series.

La narradora me encantó. Este título lo leí, por primera vez, en la secundaria y ahora 10 años después lo encontré en audiolibro.
