Review from Awakening →
The MC is a bit naive and there are a few parts where he gets into his own head, but it does feel like the character actually grows into his own and he does wise up. I don’t want to say much else for risk of spoilers, but the first two books make for a..
Review from Burn Box →
I have rarely bailed out of listening or reading a book but this one is too painful. I had read other reviews saying it started slow. That is an understatement. I am half way through and just can’t take it any longer. The hero of the story is someone I want to die in hopes..
To those who read my review of the first volume, this is nearly a copy and paste. I did this intentionally since the second volume was just as awesome as the first. Audible had recommended the first volume to me less than a week ago. I listened to the sample and figured I’d give this..
Audible had recommended this book to me less than a week ago. I listened to the sample and figured I’d give this a chance. Before I knew it, I was so enthralled that I had bypassed listening to anything else for three days straight. (Book 2 closely followed with another three days of nearly straight..
I found myself completely captivated by this compilation of short stories, each encapsulating the splendor and intrigue of Ancient Rome within succinct, 10-minute narratives. Joy Chester skillfully breathes life into the formidable figures whose ambitions, choices, and deeds shaped the course of a remarkable empire. Through vivid storytelling, I was transported back in time, treated..
This collection of short stories thoroughly engrossed me, each distilling the grandeur and drama of Ancient Rome into digestible, 10-minute narratives. Joy Chester does a masterful job of bringing to life the mighty mortals whose ambitions, decisions, and actions sculpted the paths of a great empire. The vivid storytelling transported me back in time, offering..
this was just incredible, and yhe ending gave me shivers. The narration was on point and even though you feel a little frustrated with the MC in the start it all improves at the end and make you wish for the third book.
The story was absolutely excellent! The characters were outstanding! The narration was superb! But the ending was very weak. I assume there’s going to be another book. But it has been many years since book 10 was written and there is nothing on the horizon about book 11. Very disappointing!
I really hope physical copies get produced of this series one day because I’m loving it. I had a coworker recommend me the series a few weeks ago and once I started I couldn’t stop. The characters and shifts in perspective, the power scaling and abilities, the action and subtle romance, it’s just a genuinely..
Review from Slow Burn Box Set →
im a fan of SHTF/ end of the world books, but I tend to stay away from zombie (whites) titles. However the author did a fantastic job with this one. I highly recommend giving it a listen.
