Nomad Scry

Fun, well written, engaging. There's a scene at the end that appears to contradict earlier information - which makes me really curious if this was intentional or...?

Very fun, getting to see our favorites again but from a different angle. I do wish every third chapter didn't explain what it means when the warlord prince is riding the killing edge. 

As usual for this series, I really enjoy the world and characters while being fully aware of just how bad it is. 

Fantastic. Horrible. I still don't like 2nd person. 

At times, there was a feeling of Gaiman and McGuire. 

The language and world are too inventive for any story to keep up with.  Despite that, the pieces are well woven and a satisfying conclusion is reached. 

I originally encountered the Runaways much later on, so there was a bit of mental confusion encountering the group in what turns out to be a prequel (for me.) I like how Alex is the least powered but most leader-ish.

Kinda meh. Some of the art was nice, some was not - the story was unengaging.

Disappointingly, just a bunch of chatter.

I'm refraining from giving a rating as I feel my mental state may be the reason I ended up just being annoyed with the characters, world, and story. The longer I spent with the book, the less I wanted to listen to it.

I wish there were answers. But it's good to better know the problems.

Like the best graphic novels, the art here extends and expands the story told in words. The ghost stories were the best.

Imagine the author read Phule's Company 3 times in a row, then set out to write an epic fantasy.

How is this written by Ellis? The language doesn't feel anything like any of the rest of Planetary, so I assumed it was some other writer... but it's not?

Wonderful.

It's only been 20 years since I first read this collection and I still love it.

I'd never considered just how the Christian reinterpretation of the Old Testament must be baffling to Jews.

This is a monster of a book, packed and over packed with information and ideas... It's gonna take a while to digest this Thanksgiving dinner.

(I listened to the audio version and, through no discernable fault of the narrator, had difficulty staying focused. For some reason her voice kept turning into a white noise, relaxing but void of meeting.)

Well written and clear, I'm about ready to buy a generator and solar panels for the inevitable day when the blackouts come.

Despite being raised in the christian traditions, I never really thought about how infected they are by being a death cult. Or, at least, that's my interpretation of the martyr mythology.

Fantastical and sweet.

The first 4 hours were a slog. The rest was delightful. I'm still not sure who the “good guys” are and that is awesome.

I don't know enough to understand the events described. Eventually I may learn enough to return.

I'd like to give credit to the narrators for trying to give each character a different narrator... Except that someone forgot to tell the one narrator that her character has an Australian accent.

You think I'd be used to the totally new view point characters. Ha!

Sometimes, a miserable story can be a worthwhile slog. I want this to be one of those but...

At the beginning, Ivy promises she's a liar who's going to tell the truth. This, in combination with her subtle ability to see magic could have made for some very interesting situations. Unfortunately, the only outcome of it is that Ivy gets herself into a very gross dating situation by “pretending” she went to magic school with her twin.

Speaking of her twin, what a waste. Why be twins, something really cool and uncommon, but it doesn't matter in any way?

60% of the story is miserable misery pointlessly PIing, followed by a quick explosion of WHOA THAT'S COOL, and rounded out by a conclusion of more maudlin mope-ery.
