Unabridged Audiobook
I didn't really know what to expect from the series, never heard of Kyle West or the books, turned out I really enjoyed listening to the series, it has everything I enjoy, it contains vaults, wasteland, raiders, deadly virus, and dragons. I would highly recommend this series who have an interest in the same things.
Amazing series. I was cautious but this was far better than i was expecting.
Love this book series. it's kind of a mix of post-apocalypse and maybe fantasy. Started reading the books a few years back because of the post-apocalypse theme and found I enjoyed the fantasy stuff just as much if not more. the story is very unique. it's hard to find books series that doesn't just have more of the same. Picked this up on audio so I can enjoy it again. I enjoyed it the second time through just as much if not more. narrator was pretty good too. the series actually got me into the author and found his new book series are even better.
Different concept but great read for sci-fi fantasy fans.
Didn't know what to expect but I really enjoyed the story all the way thru
Not that far in when I rated this, I am still listening for now but it changes after the demo. I will improve the rating if it gets better. Now for why I have it at a 1 star. Politics. The author is shoehorning BS political upheaval into a Fallout Vault like environment. I do not like political thrillers, facist rulers, socialist propaganda or anarchist cookbooks. Keep that crap out of fantasy and sci fi unless it makes perfect sense for it to there and not some forced commentary on political upheaval. This book so far is about politics, social justice, corruption, and secrets with a sprinkle of post apocalypse and science fiction. There are plenty of antagonists available, you do not ALWAYS need to make the leaders or government antagonistic, especially when it does not make sense for it to be so.
One of the top audio books I've listened to
I really enjoyed the full series.
Not a bad series. Lost some interest towards the end but overall not bad.
This series starts off with a lot of potential but quickly becomes a difficult story to follow due to its constant contradictions and poor writing. It’s almost as if the writer forgets his own facts and doesn’t bother trying to check them.
Not sure this is ready for publication. The editor needs a better understanding of English, timeline of infection is screwed up
not very good. so, so at best
Didn't like the author's style nor the narrator. The story has potential but the way it is written makes it feel like a B-movie. Thumbs down for this one.
The books are great. The story is well written and compelling. Narration is the problem. From book to book the characters developed ridiculous accents that really hamper listening. one example is a character named Michael Sanchez. In the first book no accent, later in the series he suddenly has a Chicano accent that makes no sense. Then another main character Augustus takes on a British accent when a book earlier he had no accent. It might sound petty but it it is irritating and distracting as hell. To the narrator, please pay attention in your future work.
A great read/listen. There were a few plot holes, very minor overall and enough to look past. Taken in context, within the mind and actions of a 16 year old protagonist, makes it more realistic. Story borrows ideas from other mainstream sci-fi novels, but does a good job remaining original. A few concepts were a little out there, which Alex even admits, but are then explained right after. Overall, I felt that this was a very realistic version of a dystopian future novel involving aliens. I recommend reading the entire chronicles. I hope to see a movie or series made from this in the future because it would be entertaining.
Great series. highly enjoyed all the books. Superb narrator.
