![]() Overall, this was an excellent story and a fun listen. I would definitely listen to another story by this guy. Again, RIVO was particularly well done here. ![]() The narrator gave every character a unique voice and kept the action moving along a a brusque pace. This is a vibrant, dynamic galaxy with tons of story potential! The Audible narration was top notch. ![]() The plot and the setting are intertwined, and each revelation of the story adds a new layer to one or the other. RIVO, Serena’s android assistant, is particularly enjoyable. The supporting cast is well fleshed out, with each adding to the story. She’s a strong character, but not without her flaws, and with plenty of mystery in her past to make her story engaging and intriguing. The story features Serena Darkwood, a tough-as-nails space smuggler with a heart of gold that would seem right at home in any hive of scum and villainy. If you enjoy rip-roaring space adventures along the lines of Star Wars or Firefly, then this is one you’ll definitely want to try. This is a review of the Audible edition of this novel. The combination of Millhouse's words and Wadlman's voice make for a kickass sci fi, action, adventure that will leave you hounding them for the next adventure. Waldman is in complete control of his cast of characters and conducts his work like a seasoned conductor controlling and driving a world class orchestra. Some narrators might have cluttered up their narration with too many voices, but Mr. He juggles the different accents and voices that he has crafted for each character like a master. Price Waldman does a remarkable job in his narration and helps the story unfold in the mind in a way that enhances the experience.

She's not a miracle worker who has all the right answers, the perfect plan, or has dumb luck fall in her lap every page. She's capable of failing while the reader/listener wants her to succeed. She's tough but knows when to back down and when to step up. She's complicated but her goals and actions are often simple and straight forward. She has enough backstory that is explained or hinted at to show that she has a range of depth that doesn't come across nearly often enough in other works. Serena is an interesting character that comes to life on the page or in the ear of the listener. Millhouse's Aboslution, but for me the stand out piece in this work is the creation of Serena Darkwood. There are a lot of highpoints to touch upon in Mr. They just work and as they do so the reader/listener becomes more invested in their final outcomes. Their motivations line up with what they want and their actions follow that lead. A liberal dose of sci-fi but grounded in enough reality that it all works in a logical manner that helps drive the story forward without slogging it down in unwanted excess of sci-fi nonsense. Then there's action, mystery, and intrigue. A well defined and interesting character is just the first ingredient in this first book. In Absolution, the author introduces Serena Darkwood a bad ass character who is flawed in all the right ways to make her an interesting with a myriad of layers that the reader/listener gets to dive into throughout Absolution.
