Be careful - series is fun but a credit drain

Make books longer. Combine books.

This has happened all through the series. Feels like a money grab.

Enough with the filler at the end of every book. I don't care what Emily has to say.

Don't get me wrong the series is a fun listen but come on.....

Also why release a million spin-off series on audible when the main series hasn't been fully released?

Sad...I hate it when a loved series goes off the rails.

Not sure there is any redemption left for this series that is how bad this book is.

Kel Kade WTF happened?

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Make books longer. Combine books. Books 12 and 13 should have been one book. My guess is book 14 could be as well.

Any additional comments?

The first couple of books in this series were very entertaining. The idea of a never dying soldier seemed fresh and new.

After 7 books, plots are now running together. James Mcgill kills the bad guy. Bad guy comes back later in the book, later in the series. James Mcgill dies. James Mcgill comes back.

Rinse and repeat.

Any additional comments?

I like M.R. Forbes. I think his book Starship Eternal book 1 is well worth a full credit.

This book should be 1.99 with whispersync. The story has been done and the narrator speaks very slowly but not fast enough for 1.25 speed.

What disappointed you about The Waking Fire?

3 strikes and your out.

Blood Song was epic
Tower Lord was a good/decent read
Queen of Fire was almost terrible
the Waking Fire....not good. Boring. No discerning voices between characters. Found myself stopping the book and doing other things. Had to force myself thru chapters

After Blood song, Anthony Ryan was on my buy immediately list.
After Waking Fire, Anthony Ryan will only be purchased if on sale

Inner Monologue Problems

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Do you remember the voice from Field of Dreams (if you build it they will come?)
Well the main character as well as several others have these inner monologue parts throughout the book. Not that this is a problem....but the voice is that ghost whisper. That ghost whisper is the same for all characters and makes up about 15% of the book.

Is it bad enough to skip the Audible and just get the book? Almost. By the 20th time you hear it you start to cringe.

Any additional comments?

Books was enjoyable, I would suggest you stick to print.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He has a weird lisp. I wonder how the author, editor or the company that produced this audio book could have green lighted this narrator.

Any additional comments?

His narration was so bad that I could not concentrate on the story

What did you like best about Scout Force? What did you like least?

It is obvious that Audible and Amazon allow full on shills for reviews.

There is no possible way anyone with ears could comment positively on this narration.

Odd pauses and weird pronunciations. Sometimes I wonder if 'Bill' is a native speaker of English.

Try reading the story before you record it. Did you record this in one take?

Dear Authors, picking bad narrators reflects poorly on you.
