Good value, fun story, a few gripes.

Overall I like this book set. Plenty of time with the characters, good characters, very-good voice acting, and an interesting story arc. Great value for the cost. If you like SciFi, and heist stories, its a good pickup but not a masterpiece.

Ups: the voice actor kills it. Though he reads a little quickly sometimes. The book is quick, and the prose is easy to follow. Lead is relatable, and the supporting characters are interesting. The overall arc is great, and the tone and feel treat the genre with respect. Good dialog, often funny, good drama. Pulls at the heart strings.

Downs: ends abruptly IMO. Feels like it could culminate in something more satisfying. The world is a little more black and white than I prefer, though that may be more of a criticism of cyberpunk as a genre; if you read Necromancer, for example, you don’t find the same, “crops bad and only bad” sort of simplicity. The author does mitigate this sometimes, but it lacks integration with the world itself.

Is it Cyberpunk? It doesn’t have the same concerns that other forms of the genre have, exploring human nature and technology, body modification, etc. Considering the chance to update from the 1990s vision of the tech future, this book also misses a bit. No 3D printing? Crypto? Blockchain? Online Assets, Social media? Hard to imagine a future without it. It isn’t a brutal, almost YA until the parts with explicit violence and sex. It doesn’t have the nihilism of Cyberpunk Edgerunners, the digital landscape of Neuromancer or the high-tech romp of Cyberpunk 2077. But the aesthetics and world-building feel appropriate.

exceptional

These books where great and held my interest. I definitely would recommend these. Especially to those who've played the game. two thumbs up

good stuff

very immersive and good story telling, I don't listen to audiobooks but damn it was good!

Fascinating take

Great story over all although some small parts seemed more like filler then actual story progression. But that only happened 2 times. I highly recommend it to anyone who loved cyberpunk 2077 and needs a fix waiting for the next game or dlc.

na

it was read waaaaaay to fast to be enjoyable.
i needed to slow it down to 85% speed for it to sound like a normal person was reading/speaking.

Great story, with awesome characters

I recently got into this genre and these books were great! the narrator is phenomenal and the special effects they do makes the story feel more movie like. the names of some of the characters are a bit goofy, but that doesn't affect the story. Overall enjoyed the story and looking forward to the next books.

great yarn!

This was a lot of fun. I'm looking forward to more stories of M0ss and the gang!

tech, betrayal, and mega corps... what more could you want

great cyberpunk story with all the frills. great world building and character arcs, unknown tech, and compelling villains.

An enjoyable story

Book 1: Enjoyable and fast paced cyberpunk story about taking down the big corporations. It's a bit hand wavey at times but good just the same.
Book 2: A decent continuation of the series. Keeping with the highs and lows of the genre. Good pacing and a couple of good characters.

Book 3: A mostly satisfying book. A bit too predictable and hand wavy for conclusions to conflict. Worth listening to if you enjoyed the first two books though. Unfortunately, the last two books of the series are not an audiobook at this time, so I don't think I will be continuing.

The narrator did an amazing job with this series. I will absolutely look for future works by him.

Great fun and interesting ideas

This was a great listen. The book moved with excitement and adventure. The characters were developed with 3 dimensional detail. They became familiar and real to the reader/listener. The philosophical and ethical ideas grabbed attention and presented real-life fulcrums for thought. Thank you for the fun and engagement.
