MindSighted

BlackWing Pirates, Book 1

De: Connie Suttle

Narrado por: Traci Odom

In or out of the Alliances, sorcerers and necromancers are considered a myth - until a single, shadowy figure brings those myths to life.

In or out of the Alliances, nobody is prepared for that...

The BlackWing Pirates, a fleet of space cruisers that form a secret branch of the Alliance Security Detail, discover what a myth-come-to-life is capable of doing when this sinister aberration begins a slow and deliberate attack against the upcoming Joint Alliances Conclave.

In the ensuing chaos, where deaths are unexplained and the impossible becomes possible, the BlackWing Pirates' most effective weapon turns out to be a blind clairvoyant, who sees better than anyone when his eyes are closed...

Interesting

The story and narration was excellent. I have listened to books written in the first person before but this was the first one that had nearly every character in first person. It took some getting used to, but it was well worth it. There is a surprise ending that will make you want to get the next book in the series.

I was voluntarily provided this free review copy audiobook by the author, narrator, or publisher.

Very different pirate story

Sometimes there were too many said and other tags that could distract from the story. The overall story was very different and interesting with all the various characters including shifters. The narrator did an overall good job with the different voices some seemed hard to tell if the character was male or female but the main ones were spot on. Was definitely a different kind of pirate story.

Well It Was Different

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I don't think so. this book is confusing since it is told from every character's point of view.

What other book might you compare MindSighted to and why?

This is the first book I have listened to from the first person from every character.

Which scene was your favorite?

When the prophet tried to destroy the blind guy Randyl.

Any additional comments?

I got this book via audiobook boom. There is a cliffhanger.

Sci-fi and Fantasy combined in a interesting way.

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
I was surprised I liked this as much as I did. I didn't think I would like the genre fusion but it worked. Suspend disbelief and jump in.
The narrator did an excellent job. Great tempo and voicing. Way to go Traci Odom.

A bit confusing

Any additional comments?

There was potential for a good listen. But the sheer number of characters and the story using each one's point of view was needlessly complicated. I hung in there hoping for clarity that never came. Too much switching between characters points of view just took me out of it. I was voluntarily provided this review copy audiobook at no charge by the author, narrator, and/or publisher.
