   riven

   excellent bk but pretty violent & callous. I care about the characters, story is never lagging. i just have to get used to the callousness, but I'm getting the next one so that says a lot about the story.

   A strugle to finish

   The heroes have so many problems but continue valiantly aided by friends who sacrifice themselves so that they may continue toward a better world.
   I am considering whether I want to read the next book.

   too much torture

   long torture sessions that under any circumstances should have killed our heroes. This strains credibility and broke my immersion in the book. Pulled me right out. Otherwise an engaging entertaining listen. I'm unsure if i will continue to listen to the series. Pretty sure there's more graphic violence and torture ahead.

   Wonderful character development

   I enjoyed this book so much. It's imaginative and the battles between good and evil are incredible.

   To this point in the series’s

   I feel the MC augm is naive yet in a childlike way his interaction with blatantly evil characters baffles me as I hope in the future more of his witty problem solving comes to alleviate his “lose all the time” luck. The side characters leera and Bridget are well balanced but the focus on who of the trio likes what person distracted me from why I would care. As the people they have shown as extras up to now have been just terrible, and honestly showcase their in-adeptness at discerning good people from bad. It makes sense this trio would constantly fumble things on their own though they hardly do. As for the world, I felt it lacked depth, I almost completely don’t understand the layout of the world or it’s occupants, is it a island, a large continent, does the realm have many kingdoms beside the few here-and-there’s of tiberra and what other lands they’ve mention, what races are there really, do humans have separate ethnicities/culture. I feel as though it’s all flavor this story lacks Despite the lengthy review I really enjoy the story and plan on reading all books including the Extension books. As for the reader Stefan Rudnicki his accent for “aunty Erica” bled through for a few hours after the encounter. This affected the reading very little but I felt it was worth mentioning as it somewhat flops continuity

   Slow at first

   Not as much action in this one as the first. Characters are learning but progress is slow but they fight through some tough times and grow emotionally and mentally. Some comments about the torture scenes but they aren’t long and it shows you who and what they are up against. Not a warm fuzzies book especially at the end

   Not as good as first book

   First book was really good but this book was boring. Such a pity as I couldnt put first book down.
