Cute book

I liked this book.I really liked all the different species that the author came up with. The stories are fun to listen to.

Magical Musical Tour

William C Tracy has written a series of short stories involving the planets and characters found in the Dissolution Universe. The collection was entertaining and enjoyable; although I did like some stories better than others. William C Tracy does a fine job with the narration, creating distinct voices for different characters which adds to the entertainment factor. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

SciFi Sampler

I chose to listen to this collection to get an introduction into this particular SciFi universe. Some SciFi is too sciencey for me, but that wasn't the case here, and I enjoyed listening to these stories.
The worldbuilding is extensive, with unique species and vivid description, but not hard to understand. I also liked that there were a variety of subgenres within the SciFi umbrella — political intrigue, adventure, and mystery. The stories aren't long, but are well crafted and fully developed.
With this introduction to the universe and some of the characters, I feel like I have a good understanding of the way things work, and am ready to take on a longer novel.
The stories are capably narrated by the author. I always have the greatest respect for an author who narrates his own stories!

Different

This was not really what I was expecting truthfully. It was pretty interesting though and well written, though I should have started at the very beginning. The author was the narrator and did pretty decent job with the narration so overall it was pretty good, I plan to go back and start from the beginning of this series.

Baskerville Book Reviews

I’ve been putting this one off for a while. I’ve grown to hate SciFi over the last 4 1/2 months of reviewing and this was a long one. Thankfully I was able to get into it pretty quickly.

The world is intriguing, leading to me wanting to know more. The stories are incredibly descriptive and fleshed out. While I did feel like I was missing some context, such as the year(s) this takes place. It’s mentioned occasionally but without context, I have no basis. The same goes for the repeated mention of “cycles”. Out of context, I have no idea how long that is. Based on the way characters talk, at times it sounds like it could be months, years, decades, or centuries.

I try not to get into too many series because it’s not easy on the wallet. But this is one I think I’ll be returning to at some point. While I wouldn’t say any of the characters are particularly compelling it’s the world-building and lore that interests me.

Normally I can’t stand when authors narrate their own work. They’re usually dull and listless. This was one of the best narrations I’ve heard in a while. The author does a terrific job narrating, doing voices and accents. While he does mispronounce the word envelope, something I find incredibly annoying. Onvelope isn’t a word. The rest of the book was a joy to listen to. I can think of 8 stories I’ve reviewed where the author did the narration and this is the only one I like.
