Fake facts ruin the fantasy

Revisado: 04-28-25

Fantasy should be surprising a trip away from the real world but 'facts' from the real world that are silly and fake detract from the story. I will not listen to this author again even though some of her books are quite entertaining.

Disappointing character development

Revisado: 04-22-25

Most of the characters were unlikeable. I enjoyed the autistic detective but would have liked more character development .

Friendly Wizard Meets Sudden End

Revisado: 12-03-24

The wizard is friendly and resides in a rural community. There are no rules of magic in this universe and there is very little action in this book; it is safe for any audience. I was looking forward to the wizard meeting the Fae when the book suddenly ended on a cliffhanger, as if it had been cut in half. I will buy the second half of the book but it is unlikely that I will buy any more books by this author as I do not like the use of cliffhangers to force the reader to buy a further books. I enjoyed how Eric Burgher brought the characters to life.

Too many mouth sounds for this listener

Revisado: 05-15-24

I was unable to listen to book or comment on story due to distracting mouth sounds. This audio needs to be cleaned up before selling it to listeners. I love this series and this was not a problem with previous books and so please fix the audio.

Plausible world, without character development

Revisado: 10-23-23

The author states that this series will streeetch out over a 10 year period. The focus in the first book was on building a plausible world, magic system, etc., without an interesting story or character development, which will occur come in later books. I do not recommend this book unless you like to watch paint dry or would enjoy listening to Luke while he build his life saber stretched out over a 9 hour period. This book ends on a Cliff hanger. Hopefully the author will make an abridged version of this book available in place of this book. I will wait for reviews of future additions to series, before purchasing the book.

A fail for Orson Scott Card

Revisado: 09-05-23

I listened to the first book in this series, Lost and Found, and really enjoyed it. I purchased Duplex as soon as I finished the first book in the series, but it was if it was written by a different author. I stopped two thirds of the way through the book because the story is focused on a teenage romance and the juvenile activities of their friends. Neither the story or the characters were interesting to me. I am disappointed in this book as it was no not up to the high standards usually set by OSC.

Murder and bad behavior is rewarded

Revisado: 08-12-23

Found this book to be the least enjoyable book in the series thus far. There are no light moments, just nasty people engaging in activities to increase wealth or power. I hope the author returns to writing books that lighten my day and does not focus on the darker nature of people.

Poorly developed characters and cliffhanger ending

Revisado: 07-06-23

I tried many times over several days to listen to this book but could not get past the cardboard characters and the lack of an engaging story. When I learned that the book ended on cliffhangers, and the author intended to write 6 books in this series, I stopped attempting to listen to it.

Too much interfering talk

Revisado: 06-04-23

Main character spends 95 percent of her time meddling in people’s lives to report back to police and she has no outside interests.

Slow start and good ending

Revisado: 06-02-23

Story moves very slowly and some of the main characters are annoying. The story improves toward the end, but too little too late. I will avoid this author in the future.
