Dewes killed it, again.

Revisado: 11-15-24

definitely a bit misty eyed. this was a beautiful way to end the first arc of the story and set up the next. I can't wait for the next book, though I say that at the end of every one of these books. platonic love really does keep the world going, and it's beautiful to see that represented and celebrated in literature, especially when romantic love is usually the focus of the 'unlikely duo saves the day' stories.

some small inconsistent pronunciation of a few words between narrators, but that's literally my only complaint. it's probably hardly noticable to anyone but my autistic @$$, though, so NBD.

Legitimately could not stop listening.

Revisado: 04-05-23

Gripping af. Ending was great but also bleak? i don't know what I'm feeling but its A LOT. Seriously. Dewes has a way of making her characters get into my heart. I'm both dying to know what happens next while also simultaneously being afraid of what happens next. Either way I need to find out. Hoping there's a sequel, at the very least!

when's book 3 coming out?

Revisado: 02-14-22

absolutely dying to find out what happens next. Cavalon going "I need an adult" and calling Jack is my absolute favorite part.

much better than the old audiobook version

Revisado: 09-29-21

Ralph's Scottish accent is better (read: real) and there isn't the obnoxious background noise found in the older audiobook which is also available on audible.

LOTS OF BACKGROUND NOISE

Revisado: 09-28-21

I was listening using headphones, and began to hear high pitched squeaking noises. I assumed it was my dog (nope), then the game I was playing on my phone (also no) and then perhaps neighbors (the other house in the duplex is still vacant, so not that either). Finally, when I switched from headphones to playing it through my phone speakers, I realized the issue was background noise in the recording itself. So, while Christopher Timothy is a great narrator and the performance is generally good, the audio is sub-optimal. Get the 2020 version narrated by Nicholas Ralph, since his Scottish accent is better and so is the audio quality. That's what I did when I returned this one.

fascinating story, narrator is meh

Revisado: 04-21-21

loved the storytelling, Dawson is very gifted. the inclusion of the young girls story had me on edge until the villain was arrested--i spent much of the book on tender hooks waiting for her to become one of the victims of the killer and not just the fog. highly recommend, despite the narrator being a bit dull/monotone-y sounding at times.

Zahn and the EU are the best

Revisado: 01-16-21

I love the new movies, but nothing can top what Zahn has added to the SW universe. Grand Admiral Thrawn is the best character, hands down

takes "don't speak ill of the dead" to an extreme

Revisado: 01-11-21

Jodi Arias is a sociopathic monster who absolutely deserves to be locked up forever. She in no way was justified in killing Travis Alexander. Murdering people is never okay, and nothing Travis did to her even comes close to beginning to justify her killing him. She's a monster.

That being said, Travis wasn't the perfect sweet baby angel the author paints him to be. He absolutely was somewhat emotionally abusive and manipulative toward Jodi and other women in his life. He didn't deserve to be murdered, but he also wasn't a perfect guiltless person.

The author describes him as this lovely cheerful ball of sunshine who was a gift to all those who met him. For example, if he came to a restaurant where I worked and asked if flexing his bicep would reduce the wait time for a table, and tried to get me to touch his ass (as one anecdote about how funny and wonderful and hilarious and perfect he is describes him as doing) I'd on a good day ask him to leave because that's sexual harassment and on a bad day, slap him and kick him out for sexual harassment.
