Story4.5 out of 5 stars 831
Obi-Wan Kenobi has not been apprenticed long to Qui-Gon Jinn, and he is chafing at Qui-Gon's training style: all meditation, no action. Obi-Wan yearns to prove himself on a mission, but when he and Qui-Gon are finally set to leave on an assignment, Qui-Gon is nowhere to be found. Angered by his master's abandonment, Obi-Wan sets out on the mission alone, determined to prove himself. On a mysterious planet he encounters a pack of feral, Force-wielding teens who seem to be the planet's only inhabitants.

In the year 2022, gamers rejoice as Sword Art Online - a VRMMORPG (virtual reality massively multiplayer online role-playing game) like no other - debuts, allowing players to take full advantage of the ultimate in gaming technology: NerveGear, a system that allows users to completely immerse themselves in a wholly realistic gaming experience. But when the game goes live, the elation of the players quickly turns to horror as they discover that, for all its amazing features, SAO is missing one of the most basic functions of any MMORPG - a logout button.

This just leaves out way too much. The narrator does a good enough job. Go pick up overlord instead. You’ll be far happier for your spent credit.

If you came for your favorite beer can & mine…forget about it. If you love minor characters & world building then this book is for you! The only reason I can figure this book is so highly rated is people misclicking the stars or saying the overall rating should be an average of the performance & story. You’ve been warned.

This book is full of great information on how to honor your ancestors! The reader is very soft-spoken as if she's trying to guide you through a meditation, so it's hard to listen to if you're sleepy due to her relaxing voice!

Karr is a teenage boy like many others in the galaxy. He goes to school, helps his parents with the family business, likes speeders and droids. But Karr also has a secret: When he touches certain objects, he gets searing headaches and blacks out. And along with the pain sometimes come visions of people he doesn't know and places he's never been. Karr's parents worry that he's sick; his grandmother is convinced the visions come from the Force. But it's been years since anyone has heard from the last of the Jedi - Luke Skywalker. Are there any Jedi left to guide Karr?

Reviewed: 12-15-19
This is without a doubt, the most boring Star Wars story I’ve encountered. For that matter it is simply one of the most boring books I’ve read. To be clear, the voice acting was good & did what was possible to put life into the characters but they are characters that I couldn’t care less about including max kanata. Which to be fair to the writer, wasn’t their creation. Go watch rogue one.

Some Humanity Required
Reviewed: 10-25-19
The writer does not appear to have a strong grasp of how people act & react in certain situations. I’ve read/listened to books where I did not agree with a characters choice and usually it proves to push the narrative and that’s something a reader just has to accept. But there are parts in here that I can’t rationalize. The main char will act contrary to typical human responses in a way that could only be understood by suggesting a mental disorder. It is so distracting I have to pause the book for minutes at a time because I’m to distracted by the nonsensical responses/actions.

Reviewed: 10-08-19
While the narrator herself was not bad in her delivery of the material her mispronunciation of prior defined story elements broke my immersion in the story. Similar to when audio doesn’t match up with a video I’m watching, it’s just distracting. That said getting a look at the heiress apparent was entertaining. I look forward to the next book in the MHI series.
