The narration was excellent! But... some/most of the 1st person asides were jarring. I don't know how a single narrator could have done anything about that without altering the text, which just means this is a book best read instead of listened to.

I really liked the world and characters but Keema(sp?) and the "you" guy, as our POV characters, felt a little flat or unmoored emotionally from their pasts.

The turtles though. That was just perfect, through and through. A whole book of them would be too rich but I definitely want to read more with them or somethings like them.

I really liked this world and the characters and even the ending. I didn't understand why the bad guy was wielding darkness but I might have just missed that detail because everything else was consistent. I'm taking a star off for incessant uninteresting and repetitive sex scenes that literally bring nothing to the story. I'm adding back a half star because they seem to have been contained to their own short chapters, allowing a reader to choose for themselves to skip or read without missing the actual story. I am aware that I'm reading in a genre that combines fantasy with erotica but #1 that's not how the first book went and #2 where else is the epic fantasy with female main characters?

Maybe rich people are the worst thing that ever happened to us?

MurderBot and Mensa(sp?) are so interesting. She happens to be right about MurderBot but how did she know it was going to be safe?

I really enjoy the little visits I get to have with Murder Bot and family.

Amazing. Somehow the self-centered child grew up.
