Dig Deeper, Reader! (No Spoilers)

Revisado: 11-23-21

The first thing that strikes you about the series is how all of the descriptions are deliciously palpable. If you are the kind of reader that pictures yourself actually there, as a bystander, you can smell the smells; you can taste the tastes that Nelson depicts.

The characters are very real and actually do go through struggles! Many stories have a sort of protagonist "god-mode" enabled and the fear behind big important decisions feels muted by comparison to a negative occurrence for your favorite character. Nelson tells it like it would have happened in our world! I've always said that a good story must have all elements and it is really nice to see that echoed in written form.

I implore any of you that read or listen to this story to dig deeper and find the connections between Faoii and life, they are simply innumerable. Nelson portrays a very clear, concise and worldly understanding of societal customs and things that sway them. Each reader will find a different aspect to latch onto; every person will identify in a different way, which truly speaks to the mastery and love with which the story was written. If you search for them, the ties to modern-day society are all there, and so eerily accurate, you truly can forget that you are reading a work of fiction. It does not, at all, feel as if this happened "many centuries ago, in a galaxy far far away."

The story connected with me on a deep level, and I found myself almost in the battles myself, back-to-back with the characters, bleeding their blood; crying their tears! So many times I found myself grinning, or furious, or misty-eyed at the amount of soul the book has. And best of all, it has rekindled my love of reading after over a decade of me not making time for it.

My only caution to the reader is to just keep going! It's worth it! If you find yourself confused, just keep swimming!

Now we discuss the performance of the narrator, and while I must admit starting off not caring for the voice that read to me, I recently picked up the third book in the series. And even now, while I am reading the physical copy, my internal monologue is in Sara's voice... So I guess I loved her and didn't even realize it! Well done! Especially differentiating the voices but being able to go back to the same ones time and again!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In short, A Must Read! I truly hope this one makes it to the movie screen one day!
