Great ending to a great story

I really enjoyed this series. I finished all4 books in 2 days. You get a bit of everything in this book, even a dog!

snow series

All of these books were terrific! fast listen thru Audible! A true page turner

My favorite

This has became my favorite series. I constantly was on the edge of my seat. Definitely worth reading.

Not horrible but had so mich potential

Every time something happened it was like woe is me, i cant handle this stressful situation, oh no, we’re all doomed i say doomed! Better balance was needed and better research while putting the story together. It was like Eyore was telling a story.

Series lost momentum and ... then it's over

Loved the first couple of "books" in the series. Very well written and enough of a story in each of them that I was able to live with the fact that I'm burning a credit on a 2-3 hour "book."

The last 2 books - this one and City of Lights are not good. There isn't enough story to make 1 book, let alone 2. The interactions with the characters was repetitive and almost identical - when a new character is introduced the pattern of the next few mins of listening is POSTIVE - NEGATIVE - POSITIVE (or NEG - POST - NEG for a bad guy). The sentence structure is a copy and paste job. Literally the same words.

The end of the book and resolution to the series is.. embarrassingly bad. I could have gotten on board with the big reveal (MOTHER MONSTER) - he laid the ground work to have scientists in the city "discover" the MM through whatever scientific whatever he wanted but no. When the MM was revealed I was like wait, what? I went back a few chapters and re-listened, thinking I'd just missed a hint or a discovery or whatever but no. It was a bad and lazy ending to an otherwise good series. I felt the author just got tired of writing the series or ran out of ideas and so threw a conclusion out of nowhere that had no build up. I would have felt better if after chapter 5 the series would have ended with something like "and I woke up to a knife to my throat. I feel it cutting into my nec... argh..." El licked the blood off the edge of the knife, smiled and said "who's next."
Long live Discordia. The end.

After books 1-3, I was on board with trying some of his other books - I would have except I kept talking myself out of it because of the terrible reviews of each, but after these last 2 in the series, especially this one, I'm hard passing.

I would have returned this book 5-6 chapters in, the series had completely lost it's luster by then, except apparently Audible/Amazon don't allow you to return books anymore. Not sure why/when that changed but I've got to say that's pretty disappointing. I've always been pretty adventurous in picking books on here bc I knew if I swung and missed, I could just return it rather than waste a credit. Now that's changed and Audible is basically Apple Books, I'll be comparing prices and possibly moving on from Audible.

Great Story - Terrible Dialogue

Good Story. Good narration. Awful dialogue. It has plagued the whole series. Unrealistic and awkward.
