War of 3 Worlds is a trilogy that runs close to 45 hours of listening time, so you are getting your money’s worth to start off with, and you will find it to be well worth the time that yu put into it. I will start out warning you that this is a sprawling read. It covers three different worlds, and has a massive cast of characters that would make George R.R. Martin proud. It is filled with all kinds of goodies including tinkerers (made me think of the gnomes in Dragonlance, but withot all the DOOF!), steampunk, warriors, worlds, and more. It seems that this is a collection of books 4-7, so I will now be looking for books 1-3!!
Ok, let the praise begin. Morin has a nice style that keeps your attention, believe me, the dialogue is real, the characters utterly believable, and the plot is perfectly paced. You never have a question as to what is going on or who is speaking, and let me tell you the twists and turns are so abundant you will wnt some dramamine on hand. There is a lot of stuff you will not see coming, and then say you should have. I also appreciate a writer who isn’t afraid of a little blood and gore. That being said, some indelicate types might find it a little off-putting. Still, I loved it.
Mikael Naramore brings some Babe Ruth level vocal talant to the team, he is easy to listen to, and in a book with a massive cast of characters he brings each one to life. The man can set a mood with just a slight shift in his voice, and can make the action go harder and faster with a shift in inflection. Bravo!
This is a great set of books, and it makes me eager to see how the whole thing started.
Get it, read it, love it.
