This Broken World

Vesik Book 4

By: Eric Asher

Narrated by: William Dufris

An ocean of darkness lives in the journal of Philip Pinkerton. Ancient things with no place in our world are rising from the abyss. Ezekiel, the arrogant, mad god has called us into battle. Does he think we can't touch him, or does he know we can't? I wish I knew. The world's only hope lies in a forgotten weapon, the strength of our allies, and one necromancer of questionable ancestry. Yeah, this is going to end well.

Love it

I completely obsessed with series. I own all the books as well as audiobooks. The stories could not be written any better. Eric has my vote for best author.

always love the characters. can't wait to start 8

always love the characters. can't wait to start book eight. I'm starting five for the eighth time

Still hooked!

After several books into the series I'm still hooked and looking forward to the next! It doesn't matter if a major plot line has been resolved or if it is just a side-story, the next one has already grabbed my interest. Fortunately, since there are still more books in the series I don't have to choose between finding out what's going to happen in the current story and what adventure is on the horizon!

Wonderful!

This book had so much action. It's constantly moving. Wonderfully imaginative, enthralling, chilling...heartbreaking! So so funny and vivid and, for me, full of anxiety! After four books, I've become quite invested in the welfare of all these characters so, the fact that something not nice could happen to any of them had me holding my breath more that once!
And, this narrator is just perfect for the series. He does an amazing job bringing the world and characters to living brilliance!
Loved it and, can't wait to listen to the next book!

Im addicted, please keep writing more of these!!!

the first book is still my favorite, but all of these stories are great!! I can't wait for another novel. this author and narrator are a fantastic team and I need more stories!!!

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series!

Would you consider the audio edition of This Broken World to be better than the print version?

I never read the print version, but this is an entertaining audiobook.

What other book might you compare This Broken World to and why?

I would call this very similar to the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. Both in humor and tone, if you like Dresden, you'll love Vesik.

What does William Dufris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

William Dufris has proven to be a great narrator. He really makes many of the characters come alive. I can practically see Zola when he speaks for her. I will definitely look for more books he has narrated.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This book definitely made me laugh out loud many times.

Any additional comments?

Great book and a great narrator. Anymore, I stick to longer books, preferably boxed sets or omnibus editions, to get the best bang for my buck. I enjoyed the Vesik 1-3 set so much I bought 3 extra credits so I could get to this one.

Well, at least the title doesn't give it away...

What made the experience of listening to This Broken World the most enjoyable?

Again, William Dufris. Perfect narrator for this series. That bastard even made me tear up in a few parts, I mean, dust, bees, glass filings in my eyes, that's what it was, all of those at once. Also, I enjoy the character and story development that Eric puts in his stories.

What other book might you compare This Broken World to and why?

Dresden Files, Iron Druid Chronicles and Alex Verus.As stated before in my previous reviews of this series, same genre, a modern day supernatural story.

Which scene was your favorite?

Nope, no spoilers. Why would you even ask this Audible, why?I'll tell you this, the banter, even in dire situations, keeps it real. I haven't been in dire situations as Vesik (if any of you have, let me know because I want to know about the supernatural) but have been in highly stressful, disheartening, sad, etc situations that the wise crack lighten's the mood enough for people to cope. It's good. Much appreciated Eric.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

Why hasn't the audio format for book 5 come out yet? What the heck William Dufris, read it on your own if you have to. Do a solid for Eric if it is your employer holding you back.

Vesik: Broken World; Awesome!

I’ve purchased the entire Vesik series and honestly have been drawled in and kept listening till the end! The stories and characters are wonderful. There’s nothing better than a book that keeps you wanting more till the very end!! If you love fairies, vampires, werewolves and supernatural you will LOVE this series , it’s mostly action not a lot of sex involved which I prefer , you won’t be disappointed !

Can't wait to hear book 5

Next up, book 5. So far these first 4 books have been so amazing. I love the narrator, he makes it so fun to listen to them. I have had several giggles, some sadness, a little anger and well all of the emotions. Thank you for writing such a great series.

Vesik books

I loved the whole series. Especially the characters, & their interactions. Dresden files in Missouri!
