I&#8217;ve grown to hate SciFi over the last 4 1\/2 months of reviewing and this was a long one. Thankfully I was able to get into it pretty quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The world is intriguing, leading to me wanting to know more. The stories are incredibly descriptive and fleshed out. While I did feel like I was missing some context, such as the year(s) this takes place. It&#8217;s mentioned occasionally but without context, I have no basis. The same goes for the repeated mention of &#8220;cycles&#8221;. Out of context, I have no idea how long that is. Based on the way characters talk, at times it sounds like it could be months, years, decades, or centuries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I try not to get into too many series because it&#8217;s not easy on the wallet. But this is one I think I&#8217;ll be returning to at some point. While I wouldn&#8217;t say any of the characters are particularly compelling it&#8217;s the world-building and lore that interests me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Normally I can&#8217;t stand when authors narrate their own work. They&#8217;re usually dull and listless. This was one of the best narrations I&#8217;ve heard in a while. The author does a terrific job narrating, doing voices and accents. While he does mispronounce the word envelope, something I find incredibly annoying. Onvelope isn&#8217;t a word. The rest of the book was a joy to listen to. I can think of 8 stories I&#8217;ve reviewed where the author did the narration and this is the only one I like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>NOTE<\/strong>: This copy was provided to me free of charge as a digital review copy.
