Interesting

Enjoyable
That’s all the words I’ve got
But it says I need 15 words minimum huh…

Didn’t expect to be that good!

I am very pleasantly situated at how entertaining this book was. The synopsis does not do it justice. I’m a big sci-fi nerd so I was game to give this a shot and I definitely want more. This has everything a sci-fi nerd would love… you got aliens, AI, space ships, magic, gods, space battles, and much more. I’m on to the second book now! I recommend giving it a shot! My one and only gripe is the repeated listing of the characters resources and attributes. The listing gets a little old but after a while you see it plays a role in the story. I didn’t quite get this until “The Great Game” is brought up and it begins to make sense.

the performers narration

the story was a little generic, good concept but no real grab your attention moments.

Thought Provoking

This was an extremely interesting book and a quality mix of just about every fantasy related genre that the author could dream up.

This is a very layered book… very very layered. Questions are continuously being raised throughout and as you continue on, wondering just what in the actual cuss is going on, one of those questions gets answered, then another, and then another. This leaves you satisfied when the previous questions, WTF moments, or confusing elements is clarified as the story starts to come together. The “ah ha!” Moments really adds to the story overall and makes for a worthwhile ride.

However, as it all starts coming together, more questions are raised and more twists are thrown in, leaving you wondering and pondering where the story will go.

I feel the best part is the replay ability of the book, the story is solid and the narrator did an excellent job bringing it to life. I will definitely listen to it a second and possibly third time to fully grasp the story.

I look forward to the future installments.

Way to long building the plot

Been listening for hours and it starting to feel like blah blah blah. Need to go faster
