can't wait for the next one.

I like everything, including the plausible deniability of wether or not this is the same universe as The Expanse. I know the authors have said it isn't, but it can fit.

A classic well done.

Revisado: 08-30-24

My only criticism is that the vast majority of the translators notes should be after the story.
There are people who are unfamiliar with this story and there are a lot of spoilers in the notes.
That aside, this is a great translation and a great performance.

a story a lifetime in the making

Revisado: 08-05-24

Like many of Misty's fans I have been waiting for this story for most of my life and it didn't disappoint.
It answers many questions about the world, things that by the time of the bulk of the Valdemar saga have been lost to history.

Just Real, good stories.

Revisado: 03-28-24

Read by the author, which is the only way a book like this really works in audio format.
Thank you Detective Lieutenant Cotton for your insight into the lives of Mainers and the LEOs that protect and serve them.
I only wish that every law enforcement agency could be as noble.

This is a great book about real stories that really happened, and it's really good.

I feel like this was ghost written, and poorly.

Revisado: 11-15-23

The reason for the title of this review is the numerous errors or retcons in this book, along with its many inconsistencies.

Let's start with the good, the plot is interesting and Woodson is among the best living narrators.

Now the bad. In the first couple chapters the Gryphons are written as having the exaggerated R and S sounds in their speech like in all previous Valdemar books involving Gryphons, then for some reason this changes mid book.

A character who in a previous book was depicted as a cis-het woman and had given birth in that book is now a transgender woman and the child is never mentioned. This character being trans is only mentioned in passing and has no bearing on the plot or this character's development in this story.

To any long time fan of the series there is a glaring error near the end of chapter 8 where I'm sure they meant to say "Ma'ar" but used "Urtho" instead. It is a passage talking about the origin of the "Maka'ar" and says that Urtho created them.

A great tale for any age.

Revisado: 07-10-23

I read most of it as a child. We were poor, but my grandmother would buy me a book for every book I finished and wrote a book about as proof I had read it. At some point she owed my 7 books and I asked her to buy me the boxed set because we had read Wardrobe in class, and of course she did. Having these stories read again by some of the best narrators ever is such a treat.

One of the greatest works ever written.

Revisado: 03-06-23

I think my title says it all. In modernity we have lost something of great story telling.
Though the narrator lacks a bit of distinction between character voices, it is otherwise extremely well read and at an excellent pace.

Frighteningly accurate

Revisado: 01-23-23

Hank Green proves once again that he has his finger right on the pulse of society. This conclusion to AART is a frightening revelation of how the unregulated advancement of technology and the concentration of wealth and power can easily lead to the downfall of society.

A riveting drama about late adolescence.

Revisado: 11-21-22

This story is a gritty and realistic telling of the physical and psychological challenges of what it's like in the late Highschool years in the US.
It covers strong subject matter, that arrive would say it's inappropriate for 15-17 year olds. Those people are delusional if they think their late teen aged kids don't already know about these things and are actually probably engaging in these activities.

wish it was longer

Revisado: 08-29-22

I would really love to hear this story continue.
I just can't get enough of The Expanse!
There is a lot of room to fill the 1000 year gap.
