Story4.5 out of 5 stars 61
Axia wishes she could be grateful to have spent her life—or what little she remembers of it—on an asteroid so far from anything of interest that even the greediest spacers see fit to pass it by. Her days may not be as exciting as the swashbuckling stories of her favorite books or as dramatic as the pasts she’s imagined for herself, but they’re as safe as Shatterspace can manage. So why does something inside her long for the stars every time she sees a spacefaring spelljammer vessel?

Great D&D book

One of my favorite D&D books. Really captured the flavor of Spelljammer . Plot was simple enough to follow but still enjoyable

Story5 out of 5 stars 3,230
Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

I bought the book 30 hours ago and I’ve finished it, on 1X. Hadley shared stories that were so impactful, and she does a great job of moving things along without feeling disjointed from patient to patient. Thank you for sharing your unique heart Hadley.

Poor pronunciation by narrator, Not very helpful
Reviewed: 01-23-20
This book has some nice personal stories but I spent 6 hours listening to her stories, and I was seriously about to just send the book back, but the last hour had some very vague ways to actually defend yourself.
The narrator poorly annunciated so many words I was kind of disgusted, otherwise he did ok reading.
I am just delving into this genre myself, but my husband tells me it's "hard to write occult things because you're not supposed to give the secrets out willy nilly" Well I guess that may be true but I won't be reading more old school occult stuff because it's the most verbose shit I've ever spent (wasted) time on. Also, I don't think this book had a real editor. I wanted to jump out a window after she wrote and embellished words like hithertofore every two sentences.
I'll give Dion a pat on the back for leading an extra interesting life. I would not recommend this book to anyone.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 8,958
Demonstrating once again her gift for spellbinding storytelling, Anne Rice makes real for us a great dynasty of four centuries of witches - a family given to poetry and incest, murder and philosophy, a family that over the ages is itself haunted by a powerful, dangerous, and seductive being called Lasher who haunts the Mayfair women. Moving in time from today's New Orleans and San Francisco to long-ago Amsterdam and the France of Louis XIV, from the coffee plantations of Port-au-Prince to Civil War New Orleans and back to today, Anne Rice has spun a mesmerizing tale.

Extensive History was a little much
Reviewed: 10-29-19
I was really into this book at first but hold on to your hat because there is a good 10 hour stretch of background history that left me dying for us to go back to the main characters already. The history is important but it just got too long winded after about 7 hours. Kate Reading did a good job but confused which characters she was speaking as a few times, and she doesn't have a huge voice range. It's hard to tell some characters apart. all this said it was an ok book but I'm not entirely sure I want to invest my time in book 2.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 26,131
A masterful, intensely suspenseful novel about a reader whose obsession with a reclusive writer goes far too far - a book about the power of storytelling, starring the same trio of unlikely and winning heroes King introduced in Mr. Mercedes. "Wake up, genius." So begins King's instantly riveting story about a vengeful reader. The genius is John Rothstein, an iconic author who created a famous character, Jimmy Gold, but who hasn't published a book for decades.

I felt like King was distracted while writing this book. Not bad but wow, it just felt limp compared to Mr. Mercedes.
Will Patton does his reliable, great job at narration.

Skeptical At First, Pleasantly surprised
Reviewed: 05-02-18
Okay so I have read a few books with romance, like Outlander. This was my first book actually categorized as Romance. I enjoyed the writing, and I actually cared about the peripheral characters. I was going to give it’s story 4 stars because of a pretty cliche spoiler, but decided that there wasn’t a lot of other options to this one part and with all the cliches about romance novels I forgave it. I actually would be able to listen to it again.
Bravo!
