ending we needed, too drawn out in parts.

Revisado: 01-11-25

loved this series, unique culture and world building. book 3 felt a little long winded in sections and could've been wrapped up more seamlessly. overall still a good read.

16 hours too long

Revisado: 09-11-24

I love the author's other works, and thoroughly enjoyed the other books in the beartown series, but I haven't been this frustrated by a book in a long time. About 90 of the middle chapters need to be edited out. there were so many tangents and characters that weren't necessary and just lost the plot. the only reason I didn't return the book is because it would close out a series that I had previously enjoyed. narration was great.

good bones

Great performance and while the story and characters have good bones, overall it felt too disjointed and lacking in something even deeper. love her other works

empathy & bridging family generations.

Revisado: 08-05-24

It's been a long time since a book moved me in such a deep and painful way. The narrative of being confined to a woman's life before shipping off and the stories of being at war were hard but still easily readable. It was the returning home that was almost impossible to bear, but I needed a conclusion. The struggle and grief in the return made me begin to understand why so many re-enlist, because at least that part made sense and was survivable, the return was so heartbreaking. On a side note my Father is a Vietnam vet, one like many, who does not talk about it. I was born in the late 80s so decades had passed by that point. We call each other and talk about the books we're reading. In talking about this book, a dialogue has opened up and he shared a few moments. I know how big this is for us and am just so thankful for a chance to understand the history, and my father, better. Well written & narrated, definitely worth the read.

Almost goes places but falls short

Revisado: 06-25-23

The book was well written and the voice over was well read. However the story lacks any follow through. It almost goes places but not quite all the way.I found myself hoping throughout the story that this book would be more than it was and it never delivered.

happy it's a trilogy

Revisado: 08-09-22

fun Sci fi novel. amazing narration on all the characters. the way the chapters jump around requires concentration otherwise it can prove somewhat confusing, however the style provides a winding road of knowledge to drive the story forward in an engaging way. excited to read the rest of the series.

easy listening and a fun story

Revisado: 07-18-22

the narrator (within the book) and the voice over narrator were both outstanding. they pair well and make you feel as though you are truly reading the letters of Benjamin. slow start then very fast paced through some of the adventure and new characters I wish had more development. I would listening to a second part where some of the characters reunite on a new journey of sorts.

Should have been boring but wasn't

Revisado: 07-01-22

The author does a very good job with the narration the narration. She is very intelligent and it comes across in her writing but not in a way that is hard to follow along. It was a well crafted and intricate story that should have been boring yet somehow was brought to life in such an interesting way. I kept guessing at Pivots in the story But the straightforwardness of this book was the most surprising result. This is not normally a book that I would read but I was recommended it by a friend and enjoyed it thoroughly. I am keen to listen to the author's other books
