Great story but...

Revisado: 09-23-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Let me say that I liked the narrator and how she delivered the story. Most especially when she is a "robotic" character.
I also liked the potential of the story.
Though comparing to my first Drew Avera's story, I loved Damaged, Incorporated more.

Decided to DNF this one because of the profanities (this is not the author's fault. I forgot that he had warned me of his first books and he also recommended that I read the newer ones).
Not sure if he will re-write this one but if he will and will remove those words, I will still give this one a chance.

Not sure if there is some spicy stuffs in this since I did not finish it.

Got a copy from Story Origin. Expressed opinions are my own and not required to leave a positive review. Still thankful for the opportunity.

Book that gave me warmth

Revisado: 12-13-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

A Soul as Cold as Frost is a book that definitely made me warm inside while reading it. Now I know those two are probably opposites but the author's description of what people do during Christmas just reminded me of some of our traditions here in the Philippines. Coming and eating together as a family, the food, gifts, and lots more.
I enjoyed reading (or rather listening) to this book. There are some points that are a bit too descriptive and the pacing went slow but understandable since I think the author wants her reader to really have a view of the world in ASACAF.
There are tons of allegory in this book that you have to read it to know what is it. :P
And oh, I could definitely see some Narnia in it. 😍
And the end made me want to read the next!

Forgot to add that the voice actor is so awesome!


I got an audio copy via StoryOrigin but all of the words above are mine. 😊

An action filled, blood boiling story

Revisado: 11-12-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Drew Avera is a new to me author and Damage Incorporated is my first from his written works (and definitely won't be the last!)

At first, I'm a bit not a fan of the narrator but after a few chapters, *applause* for his performance. His voice sounded like the ones I am listening to while playing a computer game.

A few warning with the story. It has violence in it, human trafficking, corrupt world leaders, and use of drugs. I wouldn't recommend it for 20 years old and below.
But I did enjoy the story, hence the 4.5 stars.
It was like Expandables but Scifi.

There were a few faith elements in this story but not preachy. I love how the characters wanted to stop the injustices happening around them.
Topics discussed in this story is really not far from reality.

I am so happy that I have read lots of great books this year (2022).
Now go grab a copy of Damage Incorporated!

An adventure you wouldn't want to miss!

Revisado: 10-19-22 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Let me just say how much I enjoyed this book! 😍
And this is my first @kerrynietz
novel.
At first I thought I will not like it because our heroes here are robots. No feelings, no emotions, and just things that are programmed.
The author did an awesome job bringing them to life. It was like they are real people.
I enjoyed all of the places that they went. I loved Sam! I couldn't stop myself laughing from all of his banter and side comments. 😂

If there will be a second book for Lost Bits, I will definitely read it.
Btw, I have read (listened) this book with #audible. Applause for the narrator! I sometimes forget that it is his and he voiced a lot of character in this story.

I received a copy from the author but all of the words are mine. 😊

All magic comes with a price

Revisado: 10-06-22

As much as I enjoyed Romanov, this one, Wishtress, oh my. I love everything in it. 😍
And the voice actors (listened in #audiblebooks ), was superb!
Runt is definitely a favorite character.
The story about the Well, talents and banes, choices, the human heart, and lots more!
I'm a bit afraid to share because of spoilers. 😅
But I did have lots of 😱 moments there. And the ending!
I will re-read this one once my book arrives.

A book full of wonders!

Revisado: 10-06-22

"It’s one thing to restrict our use of technology and entirely another to keep us from our own history and literature."

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

The book really got that Wonderland Vibe and Sara Ella caught the character of Alice that I have watched and remembered in Disney Movies. I finished reading (or rather listening) the book with @oasis_audio 's audiobook of the novel. The voice actor was superb! How she changes from one character to another. It's a great help because I can do household chores while enjoying the book.

If you loved The Hunger Games (less the killing though 😅), while wanting to own Wonderland’s cool gadgets, and oh, let me add the different kinds of tea that Madi makes, then this book is for you!

The Wonderland Trials is a book that will really make you wonder. Wonder at the question, what if this kind of thing exist in our world? This is a fun, nonsensical book!

The only thing I didn’t like (and loved at the same time), it ended with a cliffhanger! And it also means, a second book is on its way! Yay!

So for those who loves to read an Alice retelling (and Dystopian Fantasy), this book is for you!
