About this listen
On the planet of Higo, without the guidance of the Great Spirits, its people are descending into religious civil war. Baiyren Tallaenaq, Prince of Higo, is exiled after causing the death of his mother. Freed from his responsibilities and the looming war, he steals their greatest weapon - a giant, sentient armoured suit - and uses it to open a portal to a world he never knew existed. A world called Earth...home of a magical young woman called Keiko.

Story
One of Soseki's most beloved works of fiction, the novel depicts the 23-year-old Sanshiro leaving the sleepy countryside for the first time in his life to experience the constantly moving 'real world' of Tokyo, its women and university. In the subtle tension between our appreciation of Soseki's lively humour and our awareness of Sanshiro's doomed innocence, the novel comes to life. Sanshiro is also penetrating social and cultural commentary.

Story
Natsume Soseki's Kusamakura - meaning “grass pillow” - follows its nameless young artist-narrator on a meandering walking tour of the mountains. At the inn at a hot-spring resort, he has a series of mysterious encounters with Nami, the lovely young daughter of the establishment. Nami, or "beauty", is the center of this elegant novel, the still point around which the artist moves and the enigmatic subject of Soseki's word painting.

One of the 20th century's enduring works, One Hundred Years of Solitude is a widely beloved and acclaimed novel known throughout the world and the ultimate achievement in a Nobel Prize-winning career. The novel tells the story of the rise and fall of the mythical town of Macondo through the history of the Buendía family. Rich and brilliant, it is a chronicle of life, death, and the tragicomedy of humankind. In the beautiful, ridiculous, and tawdry story of the Buendía family, one sees all of humanity, just as in the history, myths, growth, and decay of Macondo, one sees all of Latin America.

Twenty years ago, it was as if someone turned on a light. The future blazed into existence with each deliberate word that William Gibson laid down. The winner of Hugo, Nebula, and Philip K. Dick Awards, Neuromancer didn't just explode onto the science fiction scene - it permeated into the collective consciousness, culture, science, and technology.Today, there is only one science fiction masterpiece to thank for the term "cyberpunk," for easing the way into the information age and Internet society.

Story
"Call me Ishmael." Thus starts the greatest American novel. Melville said himself that he wanted to write "a mighty book about a mighty theme" and so he did. It is a story of one man's obsessive revenge-journey against the white whale, Moby-Dick, who injured him in an earlier meeting. Woven into the story of the last journey of The Pequod is a mesh of philosophy, rumination, religion, history, and a mass of information about whaling through the ages.

Assembled from notes and jottings left unpublished at the time of the author’s death, The Book of Disquiet is a collection of aphoristic prose-poetry musings on dreams, solitude, time and memory. Credited to Pessoa’s alter ego, Bernardo Soares, who chronicles his contemplations in this so-called "factless" autobiography, the work is a journey of one man’s soul and, by extension, of all human souls that allow their minds and hearts to roam far and free.

Story
Nicodemus is a young, gifted wizard with a problem. Magic in his world requires the caster to create spells by writing out the text...but he has always been dyslexic and thus has trouble casting even the simplest of spells. And his misspells could prove dangerous, even deadly, should he make a mistake in an important incantation. Yet he has always felt that he is destined to be something more than a failed wizard.

Her first mission puts her team up against a space dragon, death reapers, and the ultimate sorcerer.

Not my Favorite
I was in between books in the Ender's Shadow series (really good by the way) and waiting for a credit. So I decided to listen to this book until I got my credit. I feel like I was shoved into a world I didn't understand. People were using random abilities that weren't explained. It felt like the movie version of a book. Rushed and under explained. I love sci-fi and fantasy and can generally understand all the crazy stuff going on but this was a little too much all at once. I had no connection with any of the characters. If any died I sure didn't care. I don't think I'll ever finish this book.

Meh
Good story. My only issue is trying to keep up with the authors constant people and time jumps. No warning, just all of a sudden in the past or on someone else. I was listening through audio, maybe reading it be better. Person reading it is good at it though.

Feels a bit like anime screenplay
It's ok light fantasy novel. But since it's only one book (may be I'm wrong), too much left unanswered and the world building is too fast and abrupt for my taste.

I am disappointed by every letter of this book.😔😒
Most of the ideas this book goes into sound great but execution is… subpar. Almost no set up or explanations for magic system(s), tech, or character moments/arcs.
Some characters seem to have a random amount of magic at random times. No details on the exact origins/creation of several main characters magic or magical items after foreshadowing details later on.
The author gives no/bad explanations on portal tech and mecha tech, as examples off the top of my head. I mean seriously I’ve got like a million questions about the mechs, and those are just the basic questions. Obvious ones like they are meant to be guards for gods but what/who/how?
One main character in particular does a complete 180 on something they seem to hold as a core belief, that has been brought up constantly, out of no where in the last 1/3 of the book.
The main villain(s) of the first 1/2-2/3 of the book are HORID, DISGUSTING, BACKSTABBING, ASS WEASELS. By the end of the book they not only get a stupid redemption arc, but are completely 100% forgiven by mc(s). Wtf? These people are the absolute worst, throw them in a fire, don’t make them awesome by the end.
During the climax several characters make perplexing decisions. A couple are even mentioned by other characters. As if a character asking or bringing it up without answers is explanation enough.
But like I said the ideas were great too bad it was a dud.
1/10 won’t listen again.
