All Over the Place

Revisado: 10-17-20

Excellent narration by Derek Perkins as usual. The book, however, was awful. I couldn't even get through it. I re-listened to the first 2 books because it had been awhile. I noticed that the 2nd book was somewhat disorganized and stilted and hoped the writer would correct that in the 3rd book, but it's even worse. Nil is there, nil is not there. We're in the present, then we're in the future. I kept rewinding it to try to make more sense of it, but that didn't help.

Just Kill Me Now...

Revisado: 02-23-20

I NEVER write these. I just give my stars and go on about my life. I have some four or five HUNDRED books in my library, and I have never felt the need to write a review until now.

SPOILER ALERT

I think I may realistically die before I have heard how Dante and Blaze, Gladick, and Winden (sp?) baaaaarely made it past the blighted while traversing the city for, I kid you not, the 8th time.... or was it the 9th? Oh? Really? Wow! The 17th??? This book could have been 13 hours and been a MUCH better book, leaving out nothing important. It could have been a book of ^almost^ non-stop action rather than the snore-fest of listening to Robertson explain, in detail, how the characters LITERALLY fight from house to house in an attack of the city. I'm telling you, HOURS OF MY LIFE for them to cross the city - encountering blighted at every turn and, on every encounter, hearing everyone in the party cry how they were out of magic for the hundredth time only to barely make it through by the skin of their teeth. I would have given the book 3 stars given Tim Gerard Reynolds reliably outstanding performance, but I felt the need to offset all the yes-men who rated the book 5 star, which it is not. I appreciate the well-known witty banter between Dante and Blaze, but it did not make up for the boredom of slogging through yet ANOTHER iteration of hiding, waiting, being found, running, fighting, miraculous escape, wash, rinse, repeat.

I really expected better than this at this point.

SHAME on the editor.

Enh...

The jumping back and forth in the timeline was really aggravating and the ending of the book was rushed and could have been done better. All in all, for Mark Lawrence oh, I'm kind of disappointed.

Fantastic story, Horrible narrator

Revisado: 08-13-18

For the love of all that is good, get a better reader for the second book. It was sad to hear such a wonderful story read in such monotonous tones. Try Simon Vance or Tim Gerard Reynolds.

Many Distracting Mispronunciations

Revisado: 05-13-18

I would have given the narrator 5 stars too, but the innumerable mispronounced words distracted me from the story every time.

Cheese

Revisado: 12-07-16

Despite over 200 titles in my library, I have never written a book review for Audible. I had to write this one because this book was THAT BAD. I selected this book because it was rated so highly by so many people. I had to force myself through it and there were several scenes where I seriously pictured a Power Rangers scene... Yes, it was that bad. It's written in first person - which is a big distraction in this case. Really, it's just awful. It has a couple of good scenes, but not many and they aren't strong ones. Weak writing, cheesy story line that is waaaay too close to Judeo-Christian beliefs and bears no real originality.
