"Trust when I say, you will not see anything coming"
Ok so, the best parts are the last few chapters. I was honestly not expecting anything that happened during those chapters to happen. Seriously. After finishing the recording and reading this review, you will agree with me. That I am confident in. Otherwise, great plot. Sanderson clearly knows how to leave people gripping for more. Liked the romance twist too. ESPECIALLY AT THE END OMG.
"Narration was great, story was good"
The narration was great with intricate accents and layering of emotions. Couldn't ask for a better narration. The story, however, although very good, was a little lack luster. It was hard to attach to the main character, David. He wasn't a very dynamic character through out the book. The climaxes could've been built more intensely. With all that said, I highly enjoyed the story, plot, twists, and ending. I also enjoy the world that the author created. Innovative setting and society. The characters were balanced and intriguing. The emotion felt for the story was real. Very good book.
"Thoroughly enjoyed it like most of us"
All I can say is that if you like super powers, good drama, thrilling ending and a fantastic captivating story telling then this book is it.
Superman vs humans? Why not!
Sparks!
"Just Plain Stupid"
A trite story about nothing with a ridiculous premise. 15 year olds might like it.
"BEST BOOK EVER!"
I have listened to this series 4 times now in the past few years. Never a dull moment and makes you feel for the characters. I bet soon I will be listening to it for the 5 time soon : )
"Worth its weight in wet gold."
Do yourself a favor an Read it for the metaphors. it's an excellent fantasy read about human power and responsibilities, but just read it for the metaphors.
"Cheesy... at first"
Gets amazing! Wow! I was completely taken a back. This isn't my genre of book but figured what the heck. First audio book I finished. Even the narrator did an amazing job!
"Great story. Another winner from Brandon Sanderson"
The narration was good, not the best I've heard, but still great. The story was fantastic and one should not expect anything less from Brandon Sanderson!
I'm game for Sci Fi, Fantasy, Fiction, History. I may even try this venue for learning languages. I have also come to love Great Courses.

"Time to get Vengeance against super powered humans"
Time to rise.
David Charleston. Loyal. Intelligent and yet awkwardly stupid at the same time... so maybe just more of a focused individual. Brings a good amount of humor with him wherever he goes.
This was my first introduction to MacLeod Andrew. Amazing performer.
Super powers in a not so super world. Time to rise. (see what I did there?)
"Can't wait for Book 2."
Usually listen to Space Military. Good change of pace. Super-power villains with some good twists. Glad I bought this one.
