    Ok i liked this book, didn't hate it, but didn't get in love with it... unlike the main character in this book were he loves a woman in 2 seconds and calls her his love and so on .... all because she has what he needs. ...

    He gives hera nickname from the first freaking minute they meet "Belmia" and it means my love, and she doesn't tell him or ask what it means or to stop it... oh nooooo... she acts like its her first name and that everyone called her that....

    if you remove the love story here, you will find an amazing book with a great idea.... but i felt like half the book was a romantic story WHICH I HATE IN BOOKS.... ya there could be and it doesn't hurt at all to have some love in these books... but c'mon, having them talk about mating and sex from the beginning of the book is a bit annoying,....

    I'll get the 2nd one later on, but hope it will be much better than this one.

    Kyle Riggs is in for a rough ride. In Annihilation, the seventh book of the Star Force Series, nothing goes as planned. The three fledgling human colonies in the Eden System are beginning to take hold, but the forces threatening to root them out are many. The Crustaceans are calling for help, despite the fact they are the sworn enemies of Star Force. Are they potential allies, or vicious tricksters? And why are the oceans of their world heating up?

    Yes, each book before was thought about as a new chapter, but this book did not only end a new chapter with Star Force, but it also started a new age for them.

    The first few chapters started well, you have your usual saving some biotics and so on, but that doesn't take much from the book as i was fearing at first. Although the beginning was full of action, what happened next wasn't full of action, but it was still a game changer. And if that wasn't enough, what happend during the end of the book was full of action as usual, and it ended another chapter, but rather than just ending another chapter for Star Force it started a new age for them. I think the next book will be full of events and would love to know what will happen in that one.

    New characters are added here, and Marvin still does his weird thing always, and you could feel him growing up this time, which was a bit weird

    A good addition to the Star Force series, and lets see whats next.

    Pressed into service when World War II breaks out in the Pacific, the USS Walker---a Great-War vintage "four-stacker" destroyer---finds itself in full retreat from pursuit by Japanese battleships. Its captain, Lieutenant Commander Matthew Patrick Reddy, knows that he and his crew are in dire straits. In desperation, he heads Walker into a squall, hoping it will give them cover---and emerges somewhere else.

    I liked the idea of this book, very interesting.
    Storyline was good, and could have been better, but still good. And the narration was good.

    But the issue that i had with this book was a combination of the book itself and the narration, I got lost couple of times and confused. This story was told through three groups, and though the main group and the most focused one was the USS Walker, still when the narration switched to other group i got so confused and didn't know what was going on for 10 minutes. (that happened once or twice)

    I hope the rest are written and narrated better than this one, and looking forward to see what will happen.

    If you like these stories which talk about alternative realities, then you will like this one.

    Legendary science fiction author Orson Scott Card calls Brandon Sanderson a writer to watch, and Publishers Weekly says his debut is "outstanding." Once the godlike rulers of the capital of Arelon, the inhabitans of Elantris have been imprisoned within themselves, unable to die after the city's magic failed years ago. But when a new prince falls victim to the curse, he refuses to accept his fate.

    I know this is a late late late review, but i just finished it.

    I am a big fan of Brandon Sanderson, but i just got the time to read this book, his first published book.
    And again it is fantastic book. not similar to his other work and all original.
    Narration was good and they way the story went was smooth. There are twists through the book, and the ending wasn't what i thought it would be, it was far better.

    so far its a standalone book, maybe there will be future ones or not, no idea. But i liked that Brandon didn't give just an ending, he gave the option of related boks to this one.

    Brandon Sanderson is truly one of the greatest authors.. So far every single book he released was amazing and The Rithmatist is a good example.

    When I read the summary of this book before, i'll be honest I didn't understand what was the book about, but I bought the book anyway just because of the author, and I don't regret it at all.

    I am going to be basic here, The Rithmatists are people who can defend and attack by drawing things and bringing them to life. (This is to clear what is going on exactly)

    One of the things that I liked about this book was the world itself, this book's world is our world with some changes, but still this world, and actually liked that (didn't have to understand and remember different countries and so on)

    Another good thing is that the plot. It doesn't go as you would have expected, there are few things that go the other way, which is always appreciated.

    Brandon Sanderson gave us another great book, gave a fantastic ending which could lead to so many possibilities in the future... I'm sure there will be future books after this one.

    If you are wondering wether to buy this book or not, then i would say go and BUY IT NOW!!!! If you liked Brandon Sanderson's books before, you will like this one too. and if you never heard of Brandon Sanderson, then just buy it anyway, you will love his work.

    oh Black Jack is back, and people are not as stupid as they were in previous books. Many challenges come in this boo, but to be honest i did predict some of them.. so they were not as sudden as i hoped they could be.

    I do love those funny moments when they come in these books, and in this one it had some fun fun times. you'll know what i mean

    Love the narration and the author and looking forward for the next book as this book will give you a good idea of what could happen in the next book, and how good it looks like it will be.

    Wulf is an ancient Viking warrior with a useful but extremely aggravating power-amnesia. No one who meets him in person can remember him 5 minutes later. It makes it easy to have one-night stands, but hard to have a meaningful relationship, and without true love he can never regain his soul. When he finally meets Cassandra, the one woman who can remember him, she turns out to be the princess of the cursed race he's sworn to hunt - and is forbidden to him.

    short review:

    Book is full of sex as usual, but it was funny, I can't say why but you will understand. My main concern is Acheron and in this book you get to know more about his powers and what he can do. damn can't wait to read the book which will be about him.

    In this book there is a small twist, its not like the previous books, so you will like it.

    My annoying brother kept on asking me to buy this book saying it was good.. the annoying thing he is saying that while he didn't buy it too..
    But you know how brothers could get annoying, so he bought it through my account and then told me he did... Anyways, I had a listen to it, and shockingly i liked nit. Its a bit similar to hunger games and Divergent as everyone is saying.. but its not really the same, actually i found some similarity (a tiny bit) to the passage.

    I liked the idea of having two characters which the story is being told through. thats a good thing in my book. The book is not too short, and not too long, its just prefect length.

    Things didn't go easy in this book, and you could some how feel the hardship these people are going through. and there is a deeper plot going through the book, its not clear yet, so waiting to read the next two books.

    Good book, Great Plot. you will like it.

    This book started good, i mean really really good. Then it was really fun, then again damn good. This how was the book the whole way through it, I either laughed from a joke, or was intensely focused on what was going on.

    New characters come to play in this bok. and major action is going through the whole thing.. i really can't explain more other than if you didn't ready this series yet, so grap the first book and all of them and read them NOW!!!

    What do you want me to say more? Narration was good? Author is good???? YOU KNOW THAT ALREADY!!! A great series

    First of all, i'm reading these books because they have a good plot, i like the idea of having all these gods around, it makes a good story.

    Each book i read, including this one, was a good book.... but i'm just freaking tired from all the sex scenes in these books... i know that i'm at book 4 and still more than 10 to go.. but still.. having each book talking primarily about how incredibly sexy someone is or how hot the other is... its just boring afterwards.

    so ya, i'm reading tese books for the plot and to know what wil happen in the future for all o these characters including Acheron.

    This book what i liked about it is that it showed and dove into the life of one of the characters who was there in the 2nd book and is not a dark hunter who will ask for his soul back in the end of the book.

    Stretched to his limit, Tamas is relying heavily on his few remaining powder mages, including the embittered Taniel, a brilliant marksman who also happens to be his estranged son, and Adamat, a retired police inspector whose loyalty is being tested by blackmail. But when gods are involved.... Now, as attacks batter them from within and without, the credulous are whispering about omens of death and destruction. Just old peasant legends about the gods waking to walk the earth. No modern educated man believes that sort of thing. But they should....

    At first when I started this book, I was thinking its going to be awesome because it was a recommendation from the great author Brandon Sanderson, as Brian McClellan was a student of his. But after a chapter or two, it had a bit of confusion in it. I have assumed that the detective is the lead character at first, then I got a bit lost with the names of some of the characters.

    That was the down side, the plus side was is plenty: story was good, specially towards the end of the book. A great ending which lets you think what the hell is going to happen in the next book. some funny twists here and there. Narration was good Christian did a good job with the characters, although it could have been better.

    What I recommend is after you listen to it the first time, to give it another listen so you would understand everything that is going on, specially the beginning.

    Waiting for the next book to come, don't be late.
