Sunlight

Titans, Cranes & Monsters' Games, Book 1

De: Kristian Joseph

Narrado por: Kristian Joseph

Revolution is in the air, the Kingdom Isle is on the brink of collapse, and enemies are closing in on all sides.

The newly appointed Chief of Defence (Nathan Sahl) has inherited a poison chalice. As he stands on his roof top balcony, a brutal decision is thrust upon his shoulders:

Stand trial and take responsibility for the crimes of others, or strike first and destroy all who oppose him. As a special forces veteran, there’s only one option… but to succeed, he will need the help of a ruthless foreign regime. Nathan’s decision will set off a chain of events which cannot be done, igniting the flight of a giant war machine, the awakening of a demi-god, and beginning of the end. Prisoners will escape, special agents will seek revenge, and revolutionaries will rise in the first instalment of the epic sci-fi action-adventure series: Titans, Cranes & Monsters’ Games.

Good story

Sunlight by kristian Joseph and narrated to by the author is a bit confusing at first because it jumps around to different characters and you don’t know the characters well. But the story is interesting, entertaining, and informative. It’s Action packed and fun. The author did a great job on the narration and the plot of the story. I hope there is a sequel but I kind hope it doesn’t jump around too much and follows the characters more.
I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.would recommend

Robotic dictation made it hard...

I think this would’ve been more enjoyable for me if I’d chosen a different format (or if this audiobook had a professional narrator). As it stands, it was more of a chore than a fun read / escape.

It does pack action and what I think, would be excitement, if I felt invested in this world/ these characters. The content itself isn’t bad by any means, though the narration is.

Political strife.
Broken soldier.
World-building.
Antihero.
Dystopian vibes.

With all the makings of a good read, I do recommend it, just in another format. Go for print or eBook.

3 stars.


🎧 Audio:
Not good. Overall sound quality was smooth, so great on that front. However, the actually narration was atrocious. Normally, I love a book narrated by the author, as I expect that way, it gets delivered exactly the way its creator intended! However, in this instance … it’s truly awful. Joseph simply dictates the words, managing to sound even more robotic than any AI / virtual voice / cyber butlers (like Siri, etc.) I’ve ever experienced.

I certainly understand the expense involved in audio production and appreciate the effort just … in this instance he’s doing himself and his artwork a vast disservice. I recommend consuming a format other than audio for this one.

A Proficient Introduction

This was my first experience with this author's work, and I thought it was entertaining. I liked the story but because it contained several key players, the story seemed choppy as it jumped from one character to the next. I didn't think there was enough information to differentiate the major characters, and it wasn't until I learned more about the individuals that each became more real to me. I appreciated the AI hologram. I enjoyed the action filled scenes. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. I thought Kristian Joseph's narration was skillful, and his performance kept my attention. I was given a copy of the audiobook. I volunteered, without financial gain, to post this review which reflected my honest opinions regarding this audiobook.
