Story5 out of 5 stars 120
The world changed the day the rifts happened. Trolls, elves, and other races from fantasy and myth emerged into a modern world, bringing magic with them. The world governments worked to segregate these new arrivals into refugee camps, which eventually became the nation of De’Vas. A nation of paranormals.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 107
Maxwell Carter works a maintenance job at a government research facility. The research lab he works at has an accident, more energy coming through the wormhole than anticipated, enough to completely rupture the shields that were supposed to contain it until they finished determining how to convert the energy into electricity. Previously harmless animals are changed to nightmare threats and people are dying, seemingly due to incidents related directly to their interests.

Like a good coffee, or fine tobacco, Larkholm and Compton serve a great story with a blend of actual science fiction and fantasy.
The AI had nothing to do with my high praise! Read/listen to understand.

Sloss and Dane create an interesting world with magic and cultures that are unique to the book. Poon is a fantastic voice actor with range of character voices and her singing was a treat.
I am looking forward to further collabration betwee Sloss and Dand and hopefully, Alyssa will keep narrating, and singing.

Rogan writes a fun, enjoyable story. Moon does an excellent jobe bringing the characters to life. Only covering a day in time, it is a full, rich story. my only criticwsm will be bring a man to be the mc, yet, keep Moon the main narrator.

excellent story
Reviewed: 08-30-24
This is my first time with Court's storytelling power. If you like this genre of fantasy, read/listen to this book. The narrorators, Dubois and Vert did a very good job. Vert's singing was a special treat.
I like the premise of a jaded old warrior looking for a place to re-enter life and the tale that happens for his look for a "normal," life.

disappointing
Reviewed: 08-09-24
The narrator is the only reason I made it midway through chapter seven. The MC is a dishonorable simpleton who theoretically made it through veterinary college. He is willfully ignorant of how life works, regardless of which diminsion he's in. Will return for my credit back, and I had hopes for this story.

Thrust into a dark realm both familiar and eerily twisted, Connor finds himself at the center of a struggle between goblin tycoons, corrupt wolf-kin lawmen, and a town full of people who’ve had all the hope wrung out of them. Connor is only one man, but the strange energies of the Faerie world have made him much more than he was.

Classic Western with Spice
Reviewed: 06-24-24
Dalton writes a classic Western with some harem spice. He did an excellent job creating a Faerie world different than normal. The tall stranger freeing a beleagard town from an evil bad guy is probably one of the most common settings for a Western. However, he brings our hero from a modern day cattle drive into a fantasy world with similar rules to "The Old West." I won't say more, don't want to ruin any surprises.
Christopher and Mandy do a wonderful job bringing the tale to life with good and different voices for each character. I will admit to coming close to almost cheering at times while laughing at others. I recommend this as a must read for trans-dimensional travel fans.

Excdellent Story
Reviewed: 06-09-24
Nordon has written a good story in the Quest Academy series. Wisniewski and Woods have done an excellent job in bringing the story to life. It was maybe ten minutes between finishing book one before beginning book two. It is my strong hope that book three is out soon. :-)
Sal had only wanted to control his power and return home to a quiet actioneers life. Little did he know the coddled life hew was familiar with was not what the "real," world was like. This is a good coming of age story with a likeable MC and strong, individualized supportg characters.
I strongly recommend this book and series as a must read.

I first Nathan Lowell and Jeffrey Kafer in December 2016 with Quarter Share the first in the Ishmael Wong saga.I have laughed, and even teered up at times over the numerous books. Kafer always delivers an excellent performance bringing the characters and situations to life.
At this point, I'm not sure how many times I've reread the Golden Age of the Solar Clipper books, but it is numerous. It is like visiting good friends you haven't seen for a while. If you've not met Ishmael and Pip before, invest in "Quarter Share," and begin exploring the Western Annex.
