It's alright but kind of filler

The book is alright. The narrator does a fantastic job and has a wide range of voices. Even characters that only say a sentence or two get a unique voice.

My issue is all the policital posturing and xenophobia. I've read and listen to these books to have fun and get away from that stuff. Not for a simulation of most countries political climate.

The book probably could have been made into a few chapters in another book that made it feel like things moved forward more.

I did almost return the book because of the "malfunctioning" AI. It was okay for part of a chapter but it goes on for the whole book.

Doesn't have the mc in it at all.

what the hell is this book, where is thorn. just starts talking about space crap with no semblance of the mai. character appearing any time soon.

I wasn't with any of the MCs

There were four main storylines, and I wasn't on board with the MCs for any of them. It made it really difficult to listen. Also, by the end of the book, I felt like I'd just read some filler story that transitioned between the previous and the next without really going anywhere, and so there was no satisfaction from finishing.

(SPOILERS)

Kit Carson and the Pathfinders - these people are so judgmental, they wouldn't be qualified for a diplomatic mission to Canada. How are these the chosen ambassadors to another world? Also, they waste their entire time trying to talk to the leaders of a world that is *known* to be xenophobic, and when they finally get an audience with the king, seem confused when asked basic questions that would start the diplomatic process off on the right foot.

Ken Hale - his team has decided that the solution to their issue is to make dough boys, even knowing that EVERYONE in the settlement is against it, and then just seems shocked when the people actually rise up in protest.

Jared Hale - willing to sit idly by while tens of thousands of people die, unwilling to lift a finger until he saves his wife and daughter. Like seriously, let humanity die. He's the only one who doesn't have to sacrifice a loved one. I have nothing but hate and contempt for this character.

Mac & Sid - I didn't quite get who they were. Knowing they were machines, it was hard to get immersed in their banter. I found myself fast-forwarding a lot of their scenes because I couldn't stand Sid's glitchy speech. Maybe it works in writing, but it was irritating in audio.

Filler...

Disappointed.... Like a lot of other reviews have stated, I felt like this book was mostly filler. The Zeist storyline was boring and the continously repeating of the emperor and his surrender or die recruiting got old quick.

Great Series!

Really liked this series. It is a great story told really well. Would highly recommend.

Female voices sucked

If the lead character is going to be a female you should at least not make her sound like an In bread ignorant old man.

I hate Cliff hangers

the story was a little slow to begin they finally got moving and it ended with a cliffhanger I hate Cliffhangers and frankly in books they're cheating

Couldn't Finish It

I enjoyed the first two books, but this third was from out of left field. It didn't seem to relate to the first two books and it just started right in the middle of "stuff". I found my mind wandering as I was listening to it and decided I could better spend my time on another book. Which I did. Last Tango in Cyberspace is WAY BETTER.

There were new characters including robots with dual personalities. The "Robot Talk" drove me nuts. No idea what the point was.

So take this review with a gain of salt because I didn't finish the book. Thanks to Audible I got a credit back. Thank-you Audible!

meh

Not as engaging as the first two books. The back and forth between the glitching robots was irritating.

Entertaining Scifi

Enjoyable listen. Decent story with good characters. The science and technology is a bit out of date, but almost believable. And Luke Daniels is the absolute best there is, period!

I just keep buying them

The Ember War universe is expansive and I can’t get enough of these books. Although throughout, nothing is concluded in this book alone, there are a few streams of stories occurring simultaneously taking up the time available. Next one is now awaiting me.

Another great story I enjoyed from Mr Fox n Hayes!

Great Audible story collection, ready now for the next installment in this exciting Saga! Can't wait!

great book 📖 😁

loved the book great book series can't wait to listen to the next one I highly recommend listing to them ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
