Before listening to this series, I have read only one other sci-fi fantasy series (that was way more on the fantasy side) in my life. Sci-Fi has never held any attraction for me. I’m even anti-Star Wars. That being said, let’s begin my review!
I took a chance with this series and I’m very glad I did. Wilsey’s world building and character development is flawless skill of his. In the mass of characters, I had favorites ones, relatable ones, as well as some I’d curl my lip to. Having never read a true sci-fi book, I was worried this series would be over my head, but Wilsey is a patient writer and takes the time to explain, in detail, all the advanced technologies and other worlds. It was brilliant.
The twists and turns kept me guessing, and at one point, I even sent a message to the author, taking a stab in the dark at who the antagonist was because I was dying to know if I had guessed right. To my dismay, he wouldn’t tell me, but I had fun discovering it on my own. I was right *sniffs and brushes shoulder*, but only a little right. The series plot was MUCH grander and way more intricate than I had originally thought it was, which was pleasantly surprising.
