Starfall

Tower of Somnus, Book 3

By: Cale Plamann

Narrated by: Andrea Parsneau

Length: 13 hrs and 32 mins

Publisher's summary

Conspiratorial conflicts boiling over. Allies pushed into the mix. The stars are spilling war onto Earth.

Kat revealed the Stallesp plot: The aliens never meant to abide by rules laid down by the Galactic Consensus, instead choosing to ask forgiveness rather than permission for interfering with Earth and its corporations. Now she is fighting a lonely war against the invasion as she tries to buy enough time for help to arrive.

Her allies are gone or preoccupied, forcing her and the few friends she’s made to try and root out the invaders without formal support. As her investigation heats up, revealing a situation worse than Kat ever could have expected, she needs to confront an unpleasant fact: not all of humanity's enemies are aliens.

Now Kat is racing against time, both in and out of the tower. Despite her skills, magic, and allies, her best may not be enough.

Acceptable overall, but with some major flaws

The performance was good, but the story and divergence from the first book left me disappointed. Avoiding any spoilers, I'll just say that this book contained about a 1/3 of the adventuring in the tower found in the first book. It was on the cusp of only serving as a side story in my opinion.

Here's hoping to the next installment making up for why I read this book in the first place.

I really like the parts. but I found I zoned out

The parts of the story were the character is in the tower are not as engaging. however, the parts in her" real life are more interesting.

Excellent narration and story! Highly recommend.

The author creates two fantastic worlds, the dreamscape Tower of Somnus, and the daytime corporate controlled megolopolis. Kat, the engaging main character, balances her life between both worlds. This third installment is as well written and exciting as the first two in the series. All of the characters are very well developed. The depth and creativity of the plot and both worlds is a masterpiece. I love this series and highly recommend it!

Always impressive!

I really enjoy this series; it's one of the most creative and worthwhile reads out there, in my opinion!

Good story, great performance

Unfortunately, the story had quite a bit of extra virtue signaling that seems entirely out of place within the context of the story.

I am loving the take charge Kat!

now that Xander is gone, and Kat has had some off-page mourning, she is kicking butt! I really enjoyed the first two books but this one has Kat taking control and that feels like the end of her origin story. I hope that makes sense, lol. I loved the book. Cale is a great writer and Andrea is a wonderful narrator!

Sigh...Never long enough!

AAAAAARRRRGGG!!! I WANT MORE! Now that I got that off my chest (taking a deep breath) let me get on with this review. I absolutely love this series. The whole bringing the powers of the "game" with you into the real world strikes just the right chord with me. This volume has everything (just like the last 2 books), intrigue, drama, politics, action packed fights and of course new powers to be brought out of the tower. There is also a budding romance, but I won't spoil things for anyone. Then there is Andy (Andrea Parsneau) as the narrator. Funnily enough she also narrates a few of my other favorite series.

Do not buy this book without buying the others first. I wish I could binge read this series for the first time every time a new book comes out.

Ends Strong! Can’t Wait for the Next Book 📖

The over-explanations can be exhausting (and frequent) but overall I really enjoyed the last half of the book, it was really worth the wait and I’m truly excited for the rest of the series!

Very good.

it was an excellent listen.
The ending was satisfying, and the journey there was very exciting.

another good book for series

This book tied up some of the lose ends from book 2 and opened more doors for I assume next or further done the series books.
enjoyable.
