This was a great book to listen to on your commute to work. I read books to escape from the real world and this book was perfect. Just what I needed.
Oh fun and entertaining

I really enjoyed this story and can’t wait to hear the rest of the books. I want to know what Charlie and company will be doing in their next misadventures
The story was well thought out and enjoyable. Magic, dragons, gladiator bouts, starships, starship crashing, space pirates, time travel, it has a bit of everything. However the audio was a bit mechanical sounding and it felt like the narrator was trying to tell a bedtime story and would not raise his voice in emotion for..
Disappointing
Review from The Ministry for the Future →
There are so many reasons why I didn’t connect with this audio book. The story is disjointed and the characters are not very complex or interesting. There is no profound character arcs. The best part was the speculation around economic forces and climate mitigation. The least compelling part was the narration. I’ve listened to 500+..

Not What I Was Expecting
Review from Let Me Tell You →
Not what I’m was expecting and definitely a slog. Narrator was fine, but the stories were not exciting, let alone scary. Boring as sin, in my opinion. Very few books that I do not finish, but only made it halfway through this before giving up.
The narrator for Mary’s sections, who has to read most of the book, is not well chosen for this project. There are so many wildly distracting mispronunciations, and the attempts at accents from Indian characters are pure cringe. And they are not infrequent. The story is good and useful in the way that speculative fiction..
Great book
Review from The Wasteland →
Loved it, hard to put down, now I want to listen to the next one.
I wanted to like it, but… This book was difficult to follow in a lot of respects, which may have been due to the unfortunate performance. The variety of narrators was distracting, and made the story feel very disjointed. I appreciate that Audible was trying to provide authenticity and realism by providing narrators from various..
While it has been noted by many other readers, the first book does take some time to introduce and develop the main concept of the series: there is another galaxy that runs on magic versus technology and the main character has to deal with that issue, being a pragmatic engineer. While it might not be..
