AI Didn't Help a Bloated Story

too long for the material so lots of fluff, with romanic portion belonging more to 80s B movie. The soulless AI narration just made the book seem longer than it really was. AI not recognizing a Jamaican accent but reading the phonetics of it from the dialogues is one of the most jarring things I've ever heard in an audiobook.

the author tows the tired trope of dynasties, aristocracy and monarchs being the heroes/central focus of history. 'This duke sent a letter to that duke who went to that town to express his displeasure to some earl'. WHO CARES? Historians/authors from the time of Tolstoy have described the great heroic generals/monarchs of an era being just being the spearhead of larger circumstances and social movements/trends. It's like describing a wave by only showing the crest, rather than the rip tide, trough, currents and the ocean it's traveling through. This dullard book is just a recitation of aristocratic records. BORING.

my new favorite Chucky P. book. Non stop poetry, humor, scalding truths etc. If you read any book by this author read this one.

Clancy writes every and any subplot, scene, moment, character inner monologue and background that is 5 degrees from every plot point. This makes the story move slowly as nothing is ever summarized, you have to know every surrounding character, all their thoughts and responding actions and then the characters surrounding them too.

A good quarter of the bookis pontificating on infantile conservative policies and propaganda including anti-abortion, equal tax rate across income levels, deregulation, and trickle down economics with cabinet positions going to business leaders. Ironically, that last stinker has been the status quo in the Executive Branch, always filling top agency and cabinet officials with businuss moguls. WE NEED MORE MONEY, MORE POWER FOR THE MILITARY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX!

The combat, espionage and presidential speeches were really well done. The rest of it is a slog. Both Clancy and Hunter Thompson dedicate their books to Ronald Reagan. Thompson could write about his breakfast and it would still be more concise and thrilling than the thrift-store-filler eptiomes Clancy produces.

i only made it halfway through, the excessive detail, repetitive character descriptions, the endless parade of old Hollywood name dropping, like every paragraph 5 Hollywood icons mentioned that have no meaning except for the few people still alive who know who they are and fewer still who care. It was worth a chuckle but its a overwritten showboat.

characters started off interesting but then turned into a silly magic world, a creative writing project seeking a premise. A long book of low stake whimsy, not enchanting or scary, only nightmarish for any reader committed to finishing it.

Sprinkling of somewhat interesting topics amongst lackluster and stumbling story. Boring romance takes up half of the plot. I ran out of patience before the end.

Unashamedly fun sci Fi. Alien morphology was too childish, appearing too much like terran wildlife biology. Alien linguistic approach very interesting. It's worth it for the performance.

Seems like the story was filled with oversimplified & superfluous storytelling, each chapter could've been half as long with tighter writing. probably elongated to tell a one-book story in a three book series.
