Met the high expectations

loved the first trilogy and feared the second might falter... more than happy to be proven wrong! Keep it on Pierce.

Um einiges besser als Teil vier!

Der vierte Teil hatte mich etwas enttäuscht, aber Dark Age hat das bei weitem Wett gemacht. Das Warten auf Teil sechs wird nicht angenehm :-)

Probably the best written of the series

First things first, Tim Gerard Reynolds and John Curless are absolute delights to listen to. They are definitely dedicated to their craft. Rendah and Moira were also good, given that they are new voices for already established characters they had a little more baggage to deal with than Tim and John.

Easily the best written of the series and has the most to offer in terms of action, intrigue, and character development in my opinion. A lot of people will not be the biggest fans of it, but not for a lack of development, story, or action and I think that is as far as I can go without spoiling anything.

My favorite of the series so far.

Same narration problems as the previous one

Great book, great story. But the narration has problems, specifically Ephraim's narrator. I didn't know what was going on in his story half the time because I couldn't understand the man for the life of me, even turning the volume up. He is just a very bad narrator.

The other narrators were fine.

Master story weaver

I am above satisfied with the continuation of the trilogy, this book makes the previous one look like an introduction to all the batshit crazy stuff happening in this one. I fucking love it. it's a more grown up story, and it makes all the sense, it answers the question to what happens after the good guys defeat the bad guys in other YA books, now comes the sauce, how does the dream actually come true? what happens with all these new responsibilities? The characters write themselves, the world building, the inner life of each character, the surprises- I never see it coming! - every thing has a purpose and the plot thickens nonstop. I adore how Pierce Brown interlaces the different perspectives. Somethings felt a bit out of nowhere, specially with Lyria, but I'm trusting that there will be a reason for all that. Also DAMN, the amount of BADASSERY from Darrow corresponds to his influence and image, it's so great to see him from the perspective of others- so fricking good. And my boy Cassius *chef's kiss* it's always nice to see him at his best. Applaus Applaus Pierce you gory damn Genius!

Lautstärke schwankt stark

Die Lautstärke variiert enorm zwischen den verschiedenen Sprechern, Lysander ist oft kaum verständlich. Man muss ständig die Lautstärke nachregeln, das kenne ich von anderen Audible Hörbüchern nicht.

awesome with too many narrators

some of the female chapters are voice acted a little bit off.

but all in all it's just awesome!

the speaker performances were absolutely great. no exceptions either! story was very good too, although I thought it a tad predictable at times. But the rise was amazing anyway

Hervorragend!

Eine grandiose Fortsetzung der Reihe! Ich bin fassungslos. Keine eingefahrenen Wiederholungen von alten Bruchteilen, sondern neu und anders und frisch. Aber die gewohnt hohe und actionreiche Qualität.

Gets darker and darker - loved it

The story really takes you away, can't put it down - noone is really safe
