Review 1: Absolution Gap audiobook by David

Absolution Gap – Review

I really expected to like this book, but as it turns out, this book crawls at a slow pace, to many plots and characters. With this many characters, John Lee has problem with the voice of each, John Lee is the one the saves this novel.

I’m a hardcore SiFi fan and I just could not listen to it more than a hour at a time, I would just drift off, especially during the very vebose discription of equipment or gadgets. I guess some readers like those details, but I like a good plot that moves me and keeps me sitting in the car in the drive way awaiting the next turn of the plot.

Review 2: Absolution Gap audiobook by Sean

Nevil Clavain – what happened to your Voice?

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I love John Lee. In fact, I only know about these books because he read them. But he takes one of the main characters – Nevil Clavain – and completely changes his accent/speech structure and thereby changes the character that he performed so well in Redemption Ark.

Review 3: Absolution Gap audiobook by Tyson S Sukeforth

This can’t be how it was supposed to end

All the characters, all the world building in this series, set up like intricate chess pieces in a grand game. Only to find at the last moment that the author was playing checkers.

I do love the ongoing character work. But the ending… yeesh. Kept on reading, excited for the moment where all the threads would come together and the grand plan would be revealed, just to find out the answer made everything more confusing than when we started. And, more unforgivably, meaningless. Reynolds is the one in need of absolution after this.

TL;DR: This book reads like a great TV show that was told it was being cancelled and had to cram 2 seasons worth of conclusion into the last 2 episodes unsatisfyingly. Either that or Reynolds just really didn’t want to write this arc anymore.
