"painful"
I loved when the book was an adult noir style series. now all characters suddenly changed too pander toward teens in an obvious manner, even the cop. I don't even know if I can finish this one. changing narrators didn't help either. now that I've finished it's even worse than I thought halfway through. the flimsiest of flimsy plots. what was going to be a new favorite author, from the first book, to one I'm never going to be able to stomach again.
"starts out slow but gets good"
I was a little iffy on the narrator's style but as it progresses it suited the story well. altogether worth the listen.
"great ending"
I saw lots of people complaining about the narrator for a few books now, and it almost put me off. I'm glad I didn't listen. I thought he did a perfect job at conveying the emotions of the characters.
"I tried to liked it"
Oh my God what a boring book. Forcing myself to finish it was almost as painful as the time I forced myself to finish monster hunter. I love this series and it pains me to see it fall so far from what it was. There was little to no action. The first almost action bit happened nearly halfway through and it was over in about a minute. I miss Miller.
"Decent but not his best."
Fantastic up till the end. It was still good but it wasn't plausible. Just kind of handed to you and you're supposed to accept it as possible, unless explained in the next book. Regardless the ending was unsatisfying.
"Slow first half then gets good"
It's a usual Peter F Hamilton piece. LOTS of little details and back story that tend to get a little dry between action. But the last quarter was good. I preferred the dreaming void to this one though.
"Definitely in my top 5"
Phenomenal books. The characters are well conceived and likable. My only problem is they are way too short! I still love them though. The short story in the middle was a little painful to listen to. The woman's voice didn't fit at all.
"Meh"
80% gun porn, 10% monster hunting, 10 % cringe inducing 'love' story. Probably would have scored worse If I hadn't used a game to half distract me while I listened to it.
