Repetitive and predictable, an author without a new story to tell

Revisado: 01-17-25

Leans too heavily on the tropes, plot lines, and characterizations of her previous series. If you’ve read Daughter of the Moon Goddess this standalone feels stale and unoriginal in comparison. A lack of originality from an author I thought had more potential.

The great decline

Revisado: 02-23-24

A jumble of esoteric dreamscapes and eldritch horrors overshadowing the foundations of what made this series remarkable. Bloated with magical hallucinations, demons, monsters, and prophetic beings of tripe caricatures reminiscent of the oft repeated battle of ultimate good versus inherent evil. The final chapters manage to regain some of the legal, moral nuances that were the driving conflicts of earlier entries, but it was done too little too late to right this series that will unfortunately no longer be a frequently recommended gem of modern fantasy.

Male narration is AWFUL

Revisado: 01-13-24

Replacing Devante Johnson for any reason is criminal especially on the final installment. New male narrator is nasally with a false sing songy accent for Cyrus that is beyond distracting. I’ll be finishing this with a physical book as I absolutely cannot stand him

Worst audiobook production quality ever!

Revisado: 10-11-23

Immediately avoid wasting money on this! Not only does Stephen King have no skill as a narrator, but the entire drawn out affair is peppered with ear piercing sound bites and random keyboard noises that are out of volume with the rest of the book and will ruin your hearing as well as your sanity. This book is so unbelievably bad I can’t believe audible still allows people to buy this in good conscience.

Not on the same level as A Little Life

Revisado: 10-01-23

A disjointed collection of stories only loosely threaded together in the last hour where everyone shares the same name and ephemerally seeking “paradise”. I loved a Little Life and while the author certainly writes well the separate narratives told through wildly different structures didn’t reach the same emotional catharsis as her previous work. Unremarkable from an author that has done better.

This is the ending this story deserved

Revisado: 07-09-23

Honestly we’ve known how Cradle would end for several books now it just took one prolonged training montage to get there. I had different expectations for how the final story arc of Dreadgod and Waybound would play out and to find that what I thought would just be the plot of one book consume the entirety of the final two novels was disappointing when I imagine all that could have been…. This was less the emotional catharsis this series deserved and more of the inevitable conclusion of nearly every reality.

The ending this series deserved

Revisado: 06-15-23

Not the best narrators as every male character had a falsely deep raspy voice and every female was an octave above tolerable. It’s a great story with a satisfying ending, bust most of this book didn’t feel like the concluding novel. There was so much buildup filler that the first 75% was easily some of the more excruciating and wasteful chapters of the entire series. At this point in the series I also don’t think the footnotes repeating basic points of fact from the first novels were even necessary
