This story is lively, rather quirky and was so much fun to listen to.
Laughed a lot - Agent Steele says and does what we dare not say or do ourselves ;-)
Fantastic satire and a good story that is easy to listen to, even a bit of romance.
The performance took a little getting used to - I initially adjusted the speed a little, but soon realized that it’s perfect for the book!
Enjoy! 😊

The story is good, I enjoyed the science, archeology and futuristic technology ideas. The characters and cultures are quirky, but rich and creative.
I also like the detailed descriptions of the worlds, characters, textiles, ships and of course the mysterious jugglers, ancient aliens and shrouds.

If you want an easy progression story, this is not a book for you. It is a rich narrative with interwoven threads, spanning across timelines and planets.

However, the narrator and producer have not given this book the opportunity that it is owed.
You’ll need to pay attention, because it seems the production team did not. There are many occasions that you’re listening to a setting, time and group of characters - and with hardly a pause you’re in another setting, time and group of characters - as if it is part of the same paragraph.

I found using good quality noise cancellation headphones helped with the narrator’s tendency to drop off at the end of sentences, which makes it hard to hear the last few words of many sentences.
Many other reviews suggest to rather read the book instead of audio.

I will give the other titles a try, just hope that the narrator improves as much as other reviews report.

I was initially a bit disappointed and kind of put off by the cadence of the narrator in the first few chapters. I think that I am used to Julia Motyka in the Alchemist series for Gigi’s books. But hang in there - Soneela gets her cadence more comfortable and it becomes easier to listen to. The story has Gigi’s creativity and detail that, if you already like her writing style, comes through once Soneela gets her rhythm and the narration is less awkward. Enjoy :-)

The story kept me interested and guessing, great threads and red herrings, great humour and gentle moments. I also love how Gigi’s characters don’t get stale, and she doesn’t rely on “filling in” sequel titles with repetitions of content as some authors do. Each of the Alchemist books are fantastic and wholesome stories, and of course I simply adore Dorian :-) Highly recommend **all** of Gigi’s books.

There are some reviews that criticize the repetition but for me it reminds you of all the crazy ideas and how all the crazy ideas help new crazy ideas. The author has great ideas and imagination and the narrator really boys those ideas to life on audio book format that could be lost when only reading the books

The stories/chapters that were concurrent or narrated after an event from one group was a nice spin on the format of the book.
Great narration as always and the crazy ideas are still fresh and fun.

Reed and Billie make a great team, storylines always keep your interest - looking forward to the next one 🙂
Reed’s inner turmoil quite tangible, which adds some grit to the underlying story that has followed the series.

I'm surprised at all the negative reviews, but each to their own I suppose. I have always enjoyed "radio" stories that we used to listen to as kids, so this was great! Well done to writer and cast, can’t wait for season 2!
