Slow start, good read

The beginning of the first book was hard to get through. As we are introduced to the charters and get some backstory it's very oppressive. After about chapter 10 the story picks up and continues to build. Once the story takes off it's the sort you just can't put down.

Simply put, amazing!

I think if I had the time that I could have listened in one sitting without a hint of boredom.

Incredibly engaging

This is a great introduction to the universe. The characters and familial interaction are very real and keep you engrossed in the story.

You have to give this series a try!

I have been a science fiction fan for a very long time. How long? For more than a half a century. I still hold Heinlein's Lazarus Long saga as the measure of great science fiction sagas. I love the 'The Expanse' series books and vids ( Thanks Mr. Bezos).I think 'Sentience Wars' is much better, This series is so multi-leveled, all to real and human; messy as we are. These books are scary topical in these 'mad dash to the future' times. Someone please, get Elon Musk acquainted with this series. It makes his case in a most entertaining and thought provoking way. OK, so I only have the first three books as sample size, fair enough. I have not read any of the series and likely won't. Laura Jennings is, at this point, integral to the story for me. how do.. these folk remember all...those voices and switch back and forth so... fast?

Give the series a try. If you can't identify with all of these 'persons', go get an empathy consult from your primary care physician.

-------Don't know much about these guys, but I knew real quick that a vet was involved (we know our own, us doggies). Thanks Col. Aaron for your service and these mighty fine yarns! Mr. Cooper, strong work and keep it up lad.------

great book

as some of the reviews may say the first book in the series is a little bit of a slog, but it really gets going and book two and three so if you can push through you're going to be thoroughly rewarded. an excellent space story and if you're into hard sci-fi this is your place.

Movie Ready

Most stories you can conjure up the imagery for, but this was the first I imagined as a movie. Maybe because I've watched the Stargate and Expanse series...but Lyssa incorporates A.i. and makes space travel feel more like a possibility than fantasy.

As for the narrator, audiobooks took some getting used to with men doing woman dialogue and vice versa. This Jennings did well! The sorta well that's not distracting. If you're at all into space or sentient A.i...a big YES to this.

Enjoyed it.

Took me a while to get into it, but once I did, I was eager to follow along and find out what would happen next.
Interesting cast of characters.

I've read a couple in this world much further on and am happy I decided to go back and start at the beginning. I think it's going to make the rest of the series (plural) much more enjoyable.

Looking to see if the next volume has several books in it too. Hoping to find 4-6 as Part 2.

another amazing addition to the aeon 14 universe

loved it from start to finish 10 out of 10 stars and I liked the soft cliffhanger versus a hard cliffhanger ,absolutely loved the narrator she brought the characters to life perfectly and showed true emotion all throughout the story

Engaging

Every bit as good as the Richards Origin story. Narration was good though all masculine voices were the same.

Don't start here

Don't start your dive into the Aeon14 universe here. I love Aeon14, and Lyssa's Rise is good overall, but the first book (Lyssa's Dream) is sloooooow. Even after it picks up you need to be prepared for Andy to wallow in self-pity what feels like every five minutes. But if you can push through that the 2nd and 3rd books are excellent.
Also, the narrator seems to have trouble voicing young males; they all sound mentally challenged.
