Excellent ending

If you like your sci fi with twists and struggle, a heaping dose of selflessness and heroic acts, and a bit of romance, this is for you. Fantastic world.

Completely enjoyable!

I tend to like space sci-fi or at least sci-fi that leans more to the science end of the spectrum than this novel does. But the characters and character development of this series as well as the evolving plot captured me in spite of my early misgivings. There was little predictability in the plot twists and turns and while I’m very satisfied with the ending, I would have been pleased to learn what comes next in a fourth volume in the series.

Excellent Story

I really enjoyed this trilogy. It is primarily geared for young adults. The main characters are well developed over the course of the three stories. The inclusion of the 5 races and how they come together is also well done. Amazing what fighting for your very existence will force you to do. The ending is a bit rushed but resolves all the outstanding threads very nicely. Overall a fun read and Simon Vance turns in another masterful performance. A little violent but otherwise appropriate for most audiences. Highly recommended.

loved it!

This was one of my favorite series. I love that the story stays more focused on the two main characters. The ending was really surprising, which was awesome, because I didnt guess what would happen. I highly recommend it.

Realty Nice Trilogy

just finished listening to book three. this is a really nice story, the characters are consistent throughout and the setting is interesting. You can identify with the struggles of the key characters and in the end good wins out. I love the diverse cast of aliens beings and that the books are suitable for old and young readers alike.

Great Series Ending

The author has a great way of really using his imagination while writing his fantasies. I enjoyed this series tremendously and would recommend it to any fantasy lover! Strong characters with a lot of suspense while we wait to see the outcome of different worlds and their species work out their lives! Great narration also!

Sad the series ended

I’m really sad this series has ended. It was such a great initial 2 books and this last book although great is a bit disappointing in how it just winds the whole story down.

A Search for Starlight

Another fantastic book by James Maxwell. Taimin must save his world. But by doing it, will he lose it all? He must face the Bonded and plead for mercy. Will they listen, or will they destroy their world? Absolutely love Simon Vance. His voice brings the characters to life.
