Great Book with Plot Issues

This is an exciting listen. The action is there, and the main character Spensa makes you feel what she feels. You root for her, especially when she faces insurmountable dire situations.

For me, the issue is the plot. Spensa bounces between Starsight and her home planet on a mission to steal hyperdrive technology. Along the way, she becomes entangled in a political mess, but it just feels like too much. The story and Spensa’s mission changes too frequently and too much happens in a short amount of time. I believe Spensa spends just two weeks on Starsight before returning home. Those two weeks make up most of the book.

Overall, I love Spensa and look forward to the next book(s). I recommend the entire collection thus far.

Going into this story, I didn't have much hope for it, because I prefer science fiction. However, this story is worth every cent. It is a complex story written by an author who used unwavering restraint in unravelling this tale. It is both creepy and intriguing.

The author should have hired a narrator other than himself. He speaks slowly and with no enthusiasm.

Other than the narrator, great work.

On top of having a very talented narrator with a range of voices, the story itself is a comment on the complexities of Black identity and what it means to be a Black man in a white man's world. From exposing the detrimental nature of racism on the Black man to putting center stage Black characters with with a crab-in-a-bucket mentality, the author weaves together a tale eerily real in its unveiling. I would recommend listening to this book twice - once for society and once for yourself.

The story is narrated in a range of voices and kept me interested. The story itself is hilarious and engaging, covering serious topics like sexism but from a tongue-in-cheek ironic perspective. I highly recommend it.

The story is deep, and it makes you think. The male narrator sounded too cheery or something. I didn't like how he read. The best narrator was the one of Mama Day. The story is worth reading.

I love Simon Vance, but this book overused the words "impossible" and "disbelief." The Arch Wizard is a dunce, and the story is confusing and anticlimactic. I hate this saga.

This book was okay. I did not like the fact that the narrator was omnipresent and knew everything that every character was feeling and thinking. The listner was not left with enough room to make his own conclusions.
