I cannot wait for future books! Such a well imagined world and interesting dragon lore development. Lovely.

The biggest issue is the narrator, who's stilted performance made the writing feel blocky and unfinished. Compared to other works from the author, this series is a little more trite and the there was a major glut of restating the same concept or character backstreet over and over. It felt a little pandering as well. Rainbow girls and abused girls are the ones who have the secrets to save the world, and those who choose beauty and technology over primative values are soulless. Kind of strange. It was good. Just, not great.

Great story, one in a fantastic series. the narrator is good but feels rushed sometimes, especially in sections without character dialogue. Mostly good though! There is an audio error with 4:41 left in the book. Sounds like a crease in cassette tape or something.

Robin Hobb is a great story teller. I don't know why they chose a whispery lady for a pirate story.... she trys very hard to draw out words slowly, sometimes sounding as if she has a mouthful of saliva. . r's are drawn out purring and it just makes it hard to follow.

It was one of the best Joe Ambercrombie books I have listened to so far. Great action, of course, but also a really interesting development of the characters.

Another great segment in the Solar Clipper stories. The narrator is skilled but overly dramatic IMO. Z in particular sounds like a child. But the story is great and overall it is an entertaining listen.

I tried this twice on recommendations, but just couldn't stick through the heavy sexualizatiin of nature. Orchids forcing insects through small openings as she checks out his muscular rear et cetera.

It's a good book, I have read it before, and the narration is quite good too, but the added music at transitions in this audio boom is painfully loud and wrecks the audio performance.

Great characters, lots of personality, interesting worlds. So well done! I was looking for something after binging a bunch of Expeditionary Force. I think I may like the Forever books even better. I am looking forward to the rest.
