interesting perspective

to not spoil anything I will say that the dialogue was a bit heavy in this one. keep up the good work.

One long existential crisis

Not as good as the first two books. The book deals heavily in philosophy of the existence, but could have been shortened. I really disliked the way the "multiverse creator" spoke like a bad startup CEO. However, I can feel the buildup for future books and see the potential. The building of the extra dimension was what kept me. I did not stop listening to the book so it wasn't too boring/whiiny and I still look forward to the Fourth Tail.

The narrator I have listened to a few times and does an excellent job.

set up

I believe the series is amazing but I have to admit this book is a dud. to leave out spoilers contradictory information regarding her mom from the end of the second book to now. the first half and I do mean half the book could (and should) have been summed up in 1 or 2 chapters. the second have of the book was basically a giant info dump to set up the rest of the series. honestly absolutely nothing happened in this book the progressed the story that couldn't have fit in a paragraph.
I will be getting the next book but I honestly don't recommend getting this until the next book comes out.

Feels like a jump

Personally it feels like there’s good chunk of time that was skipped and in the second book seemed to be setting up for the flood to happen but we get this weird skip and kinda wiped around a lot

Excellent story, but excruciating emotional development

OMG! Hang in there, the book is worth it, I promise! No spoiler alerts, but I found this book to be both very well written per usual, as well as being X excruciating in terms of the emotional development. Multiple times I had to stop reading because I was crying so much. The only negative aspect that I would point out is that in a couple of sections of the book, the author repeats themselves multiple times, expressing the same point. I’m not sure if this was an intentional part, or just a missed editing opportunity. Aside from that, Very well done as always!

Not The Same

What did I was this? Nothing made much sense and no story just an Q&A. I did finish it but I'll have to think about the next first.

sad stories

I love the emotional heavy sad turn. this book hopefully is as heavy as it gets for the series

A good story, but not what I was expecting for book 3 . 

I was in and out constantly with the psychological journey  well it was good and intriguing. I wanted more adventures in the game. 

Questions

This book made me question a lot of things. As someone who fully supports the research into AI and Neural-implants; this has made me question a lot of the assumptions I had. In the end, Believe that it is a good thing and that we should continue down the path of knowledge we are on. But the fact that it made me question these ideas says a lot about the writing and the story. The narration was great as always. Rebeca Woods was the perfect casting for this book.

Filler

The preference was good but the story was basically filler. I expect so much more. The first 2 books were great. This one seams to be a Segway of sorts.
