captivating story

this is a story of Adara a human and Rael alien and I found it to be a truly fascinating audiobook. Nikolov's love of love is evident throughout the book, as he delves into complex concepts. What I appreciated most about this audiobook is how accessible even when dealing with Aliens. Nikolov's story is easy to follow along and understand. The narration is also excellent, keeping me engaged from start to finish. would recommend

Interesting love story

I feel like this story was deeper than a earthling and Alien live story in that is is about the connection to source energy that is love. It’s wonderful that the author projects that beyond physical bodies we are love. The story was well done and interesting.

Thoroughly enjoyed it!

Adara and Rael's connection was electric, and I couldn't wait to read more about their growth as individuals and as a couple. The Shape of Space's emotional depth was the story's greatest strength, in my opinion. I cared about the characters and what happened to them as they overcame the many trials and tribulations that strained the limits of their friendship. It was a moving look at how love, death, and friendships affect our lives as individuals and as a species.
After finishing The Shape of Space, I felt inspired and optimistic about the power of love. It served as a poignant reminder that love is timeless and can cross any distance. After finishing the novel, I found myself pondering the vastness of space and the incredible power of love to conquer it.
I highly recommend The Shape of Space if you're looking for a beautifully written and narrated love story that will transport you to other worlds and make your heart soar. Get ready to fall in love with Adara and Rael's fantastic adventure and to be fascinated by its cosmic charm.

Beyond Space and Time

I haven’t listened to very many romance books, but this one really caught my attention. Not only did I like how it was written and narrated, but I really liked how it tells a story of discovery, ala Close Encounters of the Third Kind and uses the relationship between the two characters to forward this theme. There is no actual dialogue between the two characters, but the way the story is told, it doesn’t really need any. A story that transcends beyond space and time, indeed.

A sweet love story

I quite liked this short and sweet story. Very calming narration and filled with some quite deep metaphors. For sure worth a listen, its quite quick paced despite the paced narration. Gets to the point and I feel every audiobook has its own style, this certainly has its place for those who don't have 20 hours to get through a big book. Good stuff.

A Cosmic Love Story

This book will whisk you away to distant realms, where the enchanting narrative will captivate your heart and spirit. There are many adventures as the two characters Adara and Rael navigate numerous challenges and obstacles that test the boundaries of their bond to one another. I love the world of interstellar exploration as a reality. Adara trying to unravel the secrets of the cosmos, joined by Rael a talented pilot. They experience breathtaking phenomena, come across alien civilizations, and face challenges that test the limits of their courage and resilience.

Great job with the narration!! A fun read and easy to follow and be led away!
