Started off good but quickly fell

Revisado: 02-25-21

I think the biggest problem with this book is that it was all rushed. Neither the story or the characters were well thought out, the actions and reactions weren’t believable, and there was barely any character development or growth. This is what I like to call a throwaway story. Short and sweet, but with little substance. It’s the kind of book to sit back and relax with that doesn’t require critical thought.
That said however, the narration-aside from lacking any real emotion to underline and bring life to tense moments-was good, and overall, the story was enjoyable for a throwaway.

I can’t say I wouldn’t recommend this book because I’m looking forward to the next one for another day when I just want to veg.

Seems like mostly flashbacks

Revisado: 07-24-18

This was extremely short despite being almost 9hrs long. There's a lot of flashbacks in it and the actual story is more like a novella. Great story, but just when it feels like its actually just starting it ends. So 4/5 for this one unfortunately.

I'm torn between recommending this book and not recommending this book. I hate having an incomplete series, so I'd recommend it just based on that, and there's a lot of important details in this book that (if there's another) you'll miss out on if you don't get this one. But is it really worth it? Well, honestly, if Mary Calmes doesn't publish another in the series, then I'd say no and leave book three as the ending.

Much better narrator than the first two

Revisado: 12-25-17

I was hesitant to get this because I really love this series and the first two books has bad narrators.... But I think they found a winner with Robert Nieman. This book, with Mr Nieman’s narration, was as good, if not better, than when I read it myself on kindle. I truly do love this series, and for me, it was important for them not to screw up the narration of this book because this is the first book of the series I read.

Things are only just beginning to get interesting

Revisado: 10-06-17

Okay, I’m still shocked by the plot twist at the end, so all I can say is that if you liked the first book and are looking to get this one than do it. Eden’s Gate is going to be epic in the next few books.

Much better on Audible

Revisado: 09-03-17

I tried to read this book originally on kindle but found it boring. Listening to it I feel that if I hadn't attempted to read it first I might have enjoyed it even more. It's a decent story and I'm looking forward to the second book.

Not what I expected...

Revisado: 12-21-16

Would you listen to The Land: Founding again? Why?

Oh yes, I would definitely listen to it again. I love the way that the author set up The Land. I'm looking forward to book 2.

Any additional comments?

I really liked this book and can't wait for the second to come out, but I have to say that it was not what I expected. The Publisher's Summary given for this book sounds more like the overall summary for the series rather than what takes place in this book. Still a great book, just different from what I had been expecting based on the Publisher's Summary provided.

Could have been better

Revisado: 08-07-16

This book ended so abruptly that it kind of ruins the rest of the book sadly. Loved the story and wished it had continued on to the inevitable.

It's a filler

Revisado: 06-17-16

It pains me to write this...but I must be honest that this book was a little disappointing. I feel like the author wrote this as a filler between books. There are points in the story that just don't add up and I feel like things don't progress in a realistic way. If you take the book at face value you'll enjoy it, but if you always look at a book critically like I do then you might not enjoy this as much as you would if you didn't.

I want more

Revisado: 04-06-16

Would you listen to Family of Lies: Sebastian again? Why?

Yes I would listen to it again, I already have listened to it twice and intend on doing so again later in the week. This is a fantastic story that I just can't get enough of.

If you could take any character from Family of Lies: Sebastian out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Oh, that's a tough one. First one that comes to mind, of course, is Sebastian. But I think that his prince would be more than a little upset with me if I did that. Considering how powerful he is, I don't want to cross him. How about Craven, Sebastian's brother. He's sweet.

I WANT MORE

Revisado: 01-01-16

The only thing I can say is that this was a fantastic novel and I wish it didn't have to end. I look forward to listening to more novels written by this author.
