Solid narration

Revisado: 03-24-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The prose and first person tense of this story didn't work for me. Won't be an issue for most people though. I like the sibling concept and I love a good magic tree but I couldn't get into it. Might try again later. Narration was solid, no issues there.

Classic Sci-fi with a unique spin

Revisado: 02-06-25

if you want familiar feeling sci-fi with a unique story you've found it.

my only gripe is the narrator voice takes some getting used to.

How dare SM make me listen to Fish politics

Revisado: 12-28-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I shouldn't enjoy this as much as I do.

A solid sequel to the weird world of Corrupted Tides that does a lot of world building.

Fun, messy, and somehow not bogged down by fish politics.

The narrator does a solid job with an interesting accent that amplifies the story but can on occasion result in a distracting pronunciation of a word or two but never to the stories detriment.

I'm furious this book has the gall to end.

Revisado: 12-03-24

Leumas has done it again. A self contained sequel that doesn't rely on its predecessor but is absolutely amplified by it. The outstanding narration is both emotionally rich and hysterical. This book makes roller coasters look like slip and slides. the mastery of storytelling, dialogue, and characterization is abundantly off apparentw when contrasted with the fantastical setting. the series is on its way to becoming my favorite of all time.

Intriguing Story Hurt by bad narration

Revisado: 11-01-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I've read the original and enjoyed it so I was excited for this updated release. However, I couldn't make it through an hour of this narrator because he was giving my a headache. The voices are fine, but the cadence is so bizzare and unnatural that I thought it might have been AI. I tried to push through, but I genuinely couldn't muster it, which is a shame because the story had me intrigued. will continue with the ebook. listen to the sample first.

There's a shortage of perfect books in the world, and I don't say this lightly, but this is one of them.

I didn't think a book that's basically Invasion of the Body Snatchers with squids and wizards would make me feel the entire spectrum of human emotion, but here we are. I like to offer constructive criticism where I have it, but I have none. Every turn and twist, every line of dialogue, every choice the characters make draws you further and further into this tragic, funny, wonderful world.

Fun, short high fantasy

Revisado: 10-21-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This is a fun short high fantasy appetizer that feels like a trailer for a DnD-esque fantasy epic series. The writing is solid, the world is interesting and if you like high fantasy you're going to enjoy this. 3/5 is a solid score from me, the world building here is good but it didn't give me time to development and attachment to any of the characters, most of which intrigued me. As a way of generating interest in the main series this is a success, I'm definitely interested in further exploring this world.

A wonderfully unique fantasy story in a fantastic sci-fi setting.

Revisado: 10-19-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

The world of Bonds is incredibly unique. From one of the coolest magic systems, to dragon people, beetle people and space necromancy, there's a lot here to love if you like fantasy.
I really cannot over state how cool/fun/unique this setting and magic system are, clearly a lot of time and effort has been put into it. That said, the book to me feels like it could have used another round or two of developmental editing. There is a noticeable frequency of repeated words that the average reader probably won't be bothered by but that stuck out to me. Additionally, for this 8 hour audiobook it felt like 6.5 hours of it were spent on exposition and telling rather than showing. I love world building, but so much of that here felt purely for the audiences benefit and didn't make sense for the characters of this world to be so ignorant of.
I will also say I really enjoyed how small scale this story was despite being part of an expensive sci-fi universe. 3/5, this isn't a bad book, it just wasn't quite there for me but I really enjoyed the world and magic system.

Fantastic Sci-fi adventure

Revisado: 12-06-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Great, fun stuff, barley took a star of for performance because the female voice seemed to miss the scene context with her deliveries form time to time.

the narration makes the book unlistenable.

Revisado: 08-09-17

the story and writing is of the same quality as the last book which is entertaining if you enjoyed that. but the narration sounds like a Google translate bot at times and is so awful I couldn't finish listening to the book.
