This is actually my first review ever, I’ve listened to hundreds of books. I disliked it enough to break from tradition and leave a review after seeing how many 5 start reviews it had. I feel like they have to be paid for. The narration is pretty dull, but I can get over that. I..
I’ve seen a lot of documentaries on manufacturing in the US during WW2. This was similar to that, but people. Many of the events and people I’ve heard of or knew. This brings them together and gives the details of the organization and politics to make a military.

This series has an interesting premise and, initially, a compelling narrative. The whole idea of a slow growing zone of magic controlled by a rogue AI set in our modern world is undeniably intriguing. Sadly, the promise of this idea is stifled by poor execution and authorship that keeps getting in its own way. Two..

You have go bags and a trauma kit, but can’t lock your car door? Too stupid, and then don’t fight them from pulling you out of your car and leave your son inside??
