The War

Play to Live, Book 6

De: D. Rus

Narrado por: Michael Goldstrom

The magic flames are raging. Blades are melting. Souls are reduced to ashes in the fury of battle. The grand finale of the war for the First Temple is upon us. The last trump cards have been played, the reserves are all exhausted, and even the gods have engaged in the plebeian fight.

The universe is on the point of collapse. Broken are the chains that hold the worlds together. The icy waters of the Baltic cool the scorching sands of the Frontier. The creatures of AlterWorld spill the first blood on the quiet streets of Earth's cities.

What will Max do? Become embittered and butcher his enemies? Seize the deserted castles and abandoned lands? Attempt to save the one who had given her life defending him? Or try to win the jackpot by finding a way home, back to Earth?

5 & 6 could have been one book

Both books were excellent, but I felt a bit cheated with both as they could have been one long book instead of two short ones. I guess the poor author has to pay his rent somehow.:) I did think both were excellent and this series has surprised me by being so good. I am looking forward to book 7.

appropriate title is appropriate

a very apt title. I enjoyed the book. narration is stellar as always. great surprise ending.

His reach exceeds his grasp

Rus continues an excellent story in this installment. If you enjoyed the previous books in this series you will find it similar.

However, in this book, as the title suggests, the author tries to portray a war. He doesn’t quite pull it off. The storyline is choppy, disconnected and confusing. He also forgets many things from his previous works, so if you are reading this as part of a binge you will note that some mistakes are made. Such as which cat is actually his pet.

The narrator does a solid job, but does not have much range of characters and has a hard time with some of the special sections. It does not help the enjoyment of the material.

All in all, it is a solid effort, but it just isn’t quite written or performed at the level it should be.

Incorrect Pet Names

Would you listen to The War again? Why?

Overall, I really enjoy this book series, but the translation seems to be poor. The story progression is good and the character development as well.

The mixture between Tigress and Bagheera was upsetting.
Like what some one said "Bagheera was the pet, not Tigress. That's a pretty big plot point to miss from the previous books."Bagheera played a huge part, and got the nickname the black death. How the mix up?

Also, how did the book series went from trying to escape the government for freedom, to America becoming the enemy?

If you've made it this far, you already know

This is simply one of the most compelling and real stories in any universe. D. Rus is a masterful storyteller and comes at an epic story from angles that are continually changing and warping. If you have read to this book already, you're already a fan and this will not change that.

I already regret that this will end, but I intend to squeeze every last bit of raw emotion out of it.
