amazing!!

I love this series!! Its so action packed and the story is complicated and has so many different pieces. The narrator is great for this series too. My only complaint is....WHY IS AUDIBLES TAKING SO LONG TO GET ALL THE BOOKS OUT!! The series is finished why must we the people who dont have time to read the books have to wait so long in between books. Im dying to know what happens and I cant read the books.
Any how the book is greatthis was shorter than the original books but just as great.

Brilliant!

There's something brilliant about a story that maintains terrific momentum from start to finish. Like a perfectly prepared cocktail, when I finished this book I was terribly disappointed in myself drinking it too quickly; not taking the time to enjoy it's subtle brilliance in storytelling and eloquent profanity.

Ugh

This series jumped the shark at some point but I kept hanging on. It's not a "casual listen" because you have to follow two versions of characters, two versions of back stories, two worlds, and a lot of ethereal crap. I like what the author was trying to do but it just didn't grab me as being successfully executed.

LOVED IT!

I listened right through seasons 1 & 2, finishing with this last book. I couldn't put them down. the story NEVER got old, it kept me listening all the way through. my only complaints are with this last one. there was interference occasionally, a static in the recording, that brought me out of make believe world for a few seconds. there were only a handful but annoying enough that some listeners may have given up. I HAD to finish the story however so I kept going. the other thing I didn't particularly like was the way the characters played their individual parts compared to the other books. it wasn't awful, and the narration wasn't terrible. it just didn't seem to quite match up to what I felt it should have after hearing from them over seasons 1 & 2. overall though an AMAZING series, well written and enjoyable.

the story is fascinating

When I picked this up I had a different story in my head. As the authors explained the last few in the series, everything started tumbling back. How could I forget this fantastic story with such mesmerizing characters such as Bericio and Luca?! I loved the first two seasons on audible and was excited to get back into this one.

The beginning does start with a short recap, so if you're reading these back to back that may not help, however, I finished season two quite some time ago so the recap was perfect. It does not bog the story down but instead pulls the reader into the chaos and allows them to get ready for more action packed apocalyptic yumminess!

I have loved these characters, mainly the aforementioned, since meeting them. They are characters whose personalities are really going to stick with you as the book progresses. This is great since this has quite a few characters and it can get messy trying to figure them all out. Somehow they all have different voices, probably helped out by the fascinating and very talented cast of narrators. After listening to The Martian, I'm still a fan of R.C. Bray but all of them did a fantastic job. Luka's character is also helped to stand out by having a different narrator. Having a younger voice keeps the story line going.

The one critique, which was sort of weird, was that every once in a while, maybe once every two hours or so, there would be static on the audio. Almost like listening to an old record player. It just hiccups for a few seconds and moves on and maybe it was just a strange finish in the editing but that definitely pulled me out of listening to the story.

Other than that the story is fascinating. Seeing another side of Bericio and then having two of them, was probably my favorite of this. Ohhhh Bericio. This guy goes through hell. Luca goes through some stuff but nobody but Bericio has really gone through pain, not in the way he has anyway. It's tough to listen to since I really, really like his character. Have to credit the authors for writing a character that not only sticks out in this story that is completely ridden with characters, but making him a villain that I absolutely love.

There is a lot of back and forth with the time line. Fortunately, each chapter starts with saying who the narrator of the chapter will be and what time line they are in. This takes a bit to get used to. I had to puzzle all of the times together to be able to get the full story of what was happening with each person. Just about an hour and a half in they all come together and it is a linear time frame from there on out. For some reason this type of thing normally irritates me but I am so into this story and these characters that I did not care about the authors jumping back and forth. It gave me back ground information to build off of so I understand more about each character's motives. In this, that winds up being a very good thing.

I was curious at about a little more than an hour to go how this was going to end. I should not have been shocked when it ended on yet another cliff hanger! I will have to get season four immediately!

In short: Be ready for a ride. This was thrilling, scary, and will make you want to stay up late reading.

Where is Season 4??

If you could sum up Yesterday's Gone: Season Three in three words, what would they be?

Love this series!

What did you like best about this story?

Characters and story plot told from multiple perspectives. Alternate worlds/parallel universes...great!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Must see!

Any additional comments?

Please, I beg of you...release Season Four!!! I don't want the story to end!

Liked seasons 1 & 2 but season 3, not so much,

What did you like best about Yesterday's Gone: Season Three? What did you like least?

Liked: The dialog for Boricio and narration by Ray Chase.

Did not like: The static audio glitches in several places. The repeated "alternate" line spoken by Boricio at about 2:30. The new narrators: Jeffrey Kafer and Tara Sands. It was also very hard to follow bouncing back and forth between worlds and between the different versions of the same person.

Fantastic Ending to the Saga

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend the entire saga to anyone who enjoys this genre even if they are unfamiliar with audio books.

Any additional comments?

Excellent narration throughout backed by a solid story that knew where it was heading from the first book makes this a great listen.

Yesterday's here

Listen to seasons one and two first to keep up with the story line. Great narration, great story, bring on season 4. This time I won't read the book first as it reduced the tension knowing what was coming next although with the narration some points took on extra greater meaning!

Hugely addictive!

Not my usual choice of book but I like it so much, bought every series x

Hard work

struggled to finish this one, I got totally lost a few times but I could've listened to the last 30 mins as that was the only part that mattered , the rest was just c**p

Gripping from start to finish. Fantastic A++++++

This is a fantastic story and very gripping. I've listened to all three seasons and found them very well written and compelling listening .

Hugely addictive

Brilliant narration, captivating story, and great characters. Found it very hard to stop listening. Finally I can get on with my life :)

Brilliant

A great third season. Hope there's a forth. The switching between the narrated characters really makes the story. Really well read which brings the whole story to life.
