In just a few short weeks, a group of young orphans have come together to form a family. They have united in the most unlikely of alliances, finding strength in the tight bonds of friendship.

In their individual cultures, these orphans were seen as children. At best, they were ignored by their elders. At worst, they are treated as nuisances, told what they could and could not do.

But no one ever told them they couldn't save the universe. Nobody knew they would ever get the chance....

Such a well-thought-out ending. This one hit me hard Mr. Howey. Made me cry - completely worth the tears. Thank you.

Full of Truths.. Tragic and Beautiful.

I love this series so much I began my second listen almost immediately. I give this a review of 15 out of 10 supposed to be highest. The Burn Saga has it all. Wonderful science fiction! A thriller of galactic proportions! Full of action, suspense, betrayal. romance. Characters you know and grow to love and others you hate. On par with Star Wars, Star Trek, Avatar as well as all the classic science fiction we all love and must read again and again. Hoping for a series of movies to bring it to the world at large. Well done Hugh Howie!

This, after my second reading. MOST AMAZING SERIES

Okay, I have a problem with the whole series. The main character is supposed to be a strong female protagonist but really has to be saved by Everyone else the entire series..... Seriously, I was talking out loud in certain sections asking questions like... Are you kidding me. The rest of the story is solid but main character base not believable.

Characters make dumb decisions but like Hollywood movies they magically survive and win when they should have died. Like with Hollywood movies you have to suspend belief in order to enjoy it. If you followed these characters into battle you would die for their decisions.

Like Hollywood

Would you try another book from Hugh Howey and/or Jennifer O'Donnell?

I think this is the last book in this series for me.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I am so tired of trying to keep track of what plot line I am following. First you are in the present then your are in the past, then the present, then the past. It is like trying to watch two different movies at the same time when they switch from one projector to the other randomly. Actually there are more then two because you keep switching between characters randomly also. You start with one character in the present then switch to the past in the middle of some event then back to the present in the middle of the event in the past and back and forth randomly or maybe to another character and do the same thing with that character while leaving the first character hanging in the middle of something..

I need a white board to keep track of this book.

I didn't think it was even possible, but Hugh Howey managed to write a series of books that turned out to be even more fatalistic and depressing than even Ernest Hemingway. I don't think there was a single point in the books where at least half of the regular characters were not suffering miserably in one way or another, thinking the others were dead or that they would never see them again, being tortured, having body parts cut off, enslaved, in fear for their lives or futures, etc. When I described some of the scenarios to a co-worker he just nodded and said 'Torture porn'. (is that a thing?)

As if that was not bad enough (spoiler alert) the entire series of all four books involves a girl who thought she was orphaned who learns her mother and father are quite likely still alive. She sets out specifically to try to find them. She quickly learns her mother's 'intellect' is in her ship's computer but her body is somewhere in stasis. She eventually finds her mother only to have to kill her body so it won't fall into the hands of the enemy. Her boyfriend then gets lost in some 'between' state of the universe but - good news - he finds her dad. They manage to escape, but she shows up 2 minutes after dad died! Yay! Mission accomplished. WTF?!??! But hey, she gets to use some sciency shit to talk to him in his 'almost dead' brain state for a few seconds before he's completely toast. But wait, the sadistic plot isn't over yet. After having to kill her own mother's body, and showing up just after her father dies, the ships computer asks her "hey, I know I'm the last part of your mother you have left - but I need you to KILL ME AGAIN!!!"

Meanwhile, some interludes are just off. The boyfriend stuck in the tween'er place visits an old woman sage that is really his and molly's future daughter. Oh she's blind now btw and stuck forever in this tween'er place. But she asks for help getting something off a shelf, and being a decent sort of guy, the young man grabs it. Later Howey tries to use the fact the young man can't imagine him doing anything else to show 'free will' is a myth. Forget the fact, the youngman "decided" long ago to be a decent guy and that decent guys carried out reasonable requests for nice old ladies. Nope, FU says Howey, no free will. Suck my bawwlzz. -- Hugh Misery *smh*

Are you f'in kidding me? I liked the Silo series so I thought I'd read more of his stuff. Similar fatalistic stuff existed in the Silo series, but in that it fit in more as it was a dystopian scenario. Only read this if you really hate yourself and want to waste weeks going through a multi-book series only to never have things improve and be shat upon at the end by the author with a seriously f'd up ending.

More fatalistic and depressing them Hemingway
