Great story that dances and flows

A great story that dances and flows, they're small areas that are a little slow, but um, they have a great payoff. When it finally comes to dealing with the issues, it has some potential for provoking, an interesting ways of dealing with things. Overall, it's a good dance with a good flow. And Bundo well worth the credit

Thought provoking.

First of all. Let me just state that reviews are nothing more than opinions based upon the preferences of those reading/listening to the books/audiobooks being reviewed.

Performance- When you consider all the different characters in this series, it is easy to come to the conclusion that the narrator did an outstanding job.

Story- I must confess that I have already listened to this series on another audio book app. I enjoyed it so much that I chose to purchase it on Audible. Roman Prokofiev has become one of my favorite authors. This is the first series that connect with his other two(as of right now). One thing I enjoy about his series is that they are connected but can be listened to independently. If you listen to them all you will have a broader understanding of the universe he has imagined. With this series Oleg, the MC, is not your typical "hero". He is not the simple "I'm the only hope for this new world" type of MC, but rather is cunning and looks out for himself. The story for me had me pondering our reality and the future of our A.I. and electronics. This continues with his other series. All in all his books are entertaining.

I will admit that book one can seem "slow" to some, but I believe it is "setting the stage" for the rest of the series. Just a fair warning.

I love the world building. Fans of Ready Player One will love this.

While the while series tells a great story, the first 3 create a super fun trilogy that I can enjoy over and over.
