Fantastic!

If you're pondering, do it! This series is truly phenomenal! From the beginning to the end magically gripping!

Well now I guess I'm buying the rest in the series

I'm hooked. Literally could not stop listening, avoided sleeping to try to finish them. Seriously just wow. I guess now I'm buying the rest.

Entertaining

This series is fantastic. This is my second time listening to it and wont be my last. The story is thrilling and Derek Perkins does an amazing job with the characters.

Imperfect, but good trilogy

Overall quite enjoyable, but sometimes the writer gets ahead of himself. Most egregiously, speed is often described with words that imply a pinnacle of ability, and each time something faster comes along later.

Besides that admittedly minor gripe and at the risk of spoilers, the story doesn't actually end. Much happens, but the main conflict is never in danger of resolving. It's not enough to get me to stop listening, but I do hope the story manages to wrap up at some point.

Great escapist fantasy

From the initial description I didn’t think I would eat as much as I did. The story is very good, the characters are great and well developed, and the narration is superb. The only problem is it leaves you up in the air at the end, and there is no fourth volume to conclude the story.
