Good story, poor narrator.
Revisado: 07-26-24
It’s a good book. So I kept wondering why I kept losing interest while I was listening. I eventually figured out that it was the narrator. He’s got a good voice, but little inflection or variation. It starts to become a background drone that I realize I hadn’t been really listening to for several minutes.
Other than that, it was a fun story, good world building, interesting characters, well written exposition.

For over a century, humans, dwarves, gnomes, and elves have lived together in relative peace. But times have changed, the uneasy peace is over, and now the races are fighting once again. The only good elf, it seems, is a dead elf. Geralt of Rivia, the cunning assassin known as The Witcher, has been waiting for the birth of a prophesied child. This child has the power to change the world - for good, or for evil.

More “should-read” than “must-read”
Revisado: 09-08-22
I guess it was fine. Pretty meandering story throughout with few distinguishable plot features. I was honestly surprised when the book ended.
Clearly this is a set-up for a larger story, which is fine, I guess. But I doubt I’ll ever want to read it again.

Once upon a time, a group of libertarians got together and hatched the Free Town Project, a plan to take over an American town and completely eliminate its government. In 2004, they set their sights on Grafton, NH, a barely populated settlement with one paved road. When they descended on Grafton, public funding for pretty much everything shrank: the fire department, the library, the schoolhouse. State and federal laws became meek suggestions, scarcely heard in the town's thick wilderness.

Odd but good!

Plenty in here about libertarians, more than I expected about bears. A weird, meandering, take on the Free Town Project, well told and generally neutral in tone.

When virtual reality becomes real enough that people feel as if they're being transported to another world, Valia Online arrives. A man running from his past joins the game to forget it all. Calling himself Jack Thorn, he chooses an undead race, Deathlord. A mage by choice, and a swordsman by necessity, he soon finds out that he'll need to use much more than magic and steel to survive; strategy, creativity, and carefully chosen words can often accomplish what simple attacks can't.

So close to good...
Revisado: 04-23-18
The story is solidly told, and I really wanted to like it. Unfortunately, I found the main character and several side characters just plain annoying. The dialogue was uneven and clunky at times, and the main character’s backstory was absurdly far fetched for who he was. Some of the decision making displayed by the characters was downright perplexing. Overall, the characters kill what should be a really interesting and fun story.

Should'a been good...
Revisado: 04-17-17
Good, realistic, prepped/survivalist fiction is rare, and I thought I'd come across a gem of a series.
Then I could barely finish the first book, and it's not that long.
In eventually getting through it, I can honestly say there are some very good parts and the work is reasonably well researched.
But there's no other way to say it: this book is tainted by an undercurrent of racism, misogyny, and cultural elitism. Please note, this isn't from just one of the characters who's supposed to be a bigot or scoundrel, it's from the main character and the 1st and 3rd person narration, and can be glimpsed in the creation of characters who are insultingly stereotypical. Nothing obvious or overt, just the subtle condescension that occasionally comes from white men like myself who seem to think that the world balances on their shoulders alone and everyone else needs to shut up and follow. There were plenty of times that I had to just stop listening out of sheer disgust. I kept going mostly in hope that the tone would change. SPOILER: it didn't.
Great narration, though.
