Enjoyable listen

I really need to get caught back up on the games since these books fill in the between games storyline. That said I thought the book was enjoyable, especially Diaz's back story

Family Ties

The basic knowledge you get from this is more surroundings Kaits father which sort of takes the majority of the book sadly. It should have done more present to past like books before this.

Struggling to finish.

I love the Gears franchise. I'll gladly even take bad Gears over no Gears but this book , even more the the previous, is very hard to get through because of the narration. Nothing against Nan McNamara I just don't think this is in her wheelhouse. The characters voices are very distracting.

Sweet

hell yeah I really enjoyed this book. I love getting more details of a story. keep em coming please. more questions in the gears universe i gots to know.

Better, but still lacking

Better than his last attempt at a Gears novel, but still nowhere near the level of Karen Travis.

Great Story and Read... What's best though?

Great performance, and liked that they gave us more back story. Curious how or if they'll do any more books after forcing you to make such a heavy decision in game. Hope they realize the corner they painted these novels into, and hope for more to come.

Not bad

This was not a bad book. The problem with the current series is that it doesn’t live up to the older standards. The love is just not there and you can tell.

great expansion to the series

i enjoyed the book a lot, the only thing that seemed off in the whole book was how Cole was written. his trademark attitude seemed off, most often he would swear instead of being as happy go lucky as I'm used to

new narrator

it was very jarring to go from the previous narrator who was male to a female narrator. additionally with the time jump I found it difficult to really start this book and picked it up and put it down several times before I even got quarter-way through. by the end of it, I got used to the new narration and this time skip so I ultimately enjoyed it. Also had to find some bootleg narrations for the previous two books that are not available seemingly anywhere for sale.

great story

just once they need to get the video game voice actors just one book
