More, please!

It's always fun to find a new to you author, especially one that provides a newly found stock of hours of entertainment. A fun storyline, a good author, and despite some others comments about the narrator I found him good at the characters. My only complaint is that the books are too short.

Slow climb but the view is worth it when you get there.

This series is not for everyone. I would have stopped after the first book if they hadn’t both been included with my subscription. I’m glad I kept going.

If you want action, drama, and impending disaster, this is NOT your book. If, however, you have a thing for freakishly emotionally intelligent protagonists who are still human, unique healthy relationship structures, and the occasional quip, add this to your library. The pace is…relaxing. Think accessible switchbacks to a national park viewpoint.

Keeps you interested

For a story that is pretty mundane, you cannot help but be interested in the characters involved. It is a story of good people growing and changing, while looking forward to the next step they take. This will take you by surprise at how good it is.

the was sooo good

love ❤️ ❣️ it makes you feel good about people , you laugh you cry , it's awesome 👌 👏 👍

very entertaining listening

It is a joy to hear a positive story with character growth. The narration is very easy to understand and seems to relay the authors intentions. Expect to follow the series. No death or shooting so far. Truly unusual.

Love this series.

The first three books are a coming of age tale for the space age that I truly enjoy.

But...

The narrator is more suited to a heroic saga, not a coming of age tale of a youth finding his way.

This series can be found on Librivox narrated by the author Nathan Lowell. That is a better performance IMO.

I am hooked with this series

The story is simple but the writing keeps you engaged and wanting to know more. The character are likable and Interesting.

Not your everyday Space Opera

If you liked Quarter Share, you'll like this one. Little predictable, plot wise, but entertaining without a space battle to be found. I will be getting the sequel.

Fun but dopey

This books is fun, but a little dopey, as the sequel to the first story. The story doesn’t really go anywhere, is blessedly short, and the readers tone comes across as sarcastic - ironic, which doesn’t match up well with the tone of the character - but that’s probably giving the story too much credit. Not continuing this series.

just spend the credit

I consumed one after another until there was no more. I can't wait for more books in this series. l had to listen to them all before I could make myself write the review.... spend the credit.
