All the Windwracked Stars Audiobook

" I really liked this book much more than I expected to. It was a bit hard starting out. The writing style is different than a lot of the book I've read recently, but once I got going, I really enjoyed everything about it. Good themes of loneliness, isolation, forgiveness and redemption, and having the courage to do more than just exist. "

" For angels, these people sure are mopey and melodramatic. "

" If your looking for fantasy NOT based on Celtic mythology this one is a nice change. The last Waelcyrge (Valkyrie) is in the end days of Valdyrgard after 2 Ragnaroks. The world is dead but for one human city and a Technomancer is sucking the essence out of even the gods to keep it alive for only the few. Its a world one can relate with as the humans have killed all other life with virus wars and other horrible weapons, making this also sic-fi but still filled with magic. "

" Bear keeps outdoing herself. Exquisite world-building. Fascinating characters.Next time I set foot in a bookstore, I'm not leaving without the next one in this series: By the Mountain Bound. "

" A stellar, if difficult read from Elizabeth Bear. In a book with no clear villain, and a hero that is sometimes difficult to root for, the lines are hard to draw. Betrayal is the word of the day. Still, in the end, E-Bear pulls off a satisfying, happy, cathartic ending. "

" An interesting take on norse mythology and Ragnarok. I liked how the protagonist was a survivor of it and that her journey to atone for it made for an interesting personal story. I found the world around her to be a bit thin but it did not detract me from the story. "

" Thoughtful and amazing. "

" ??? i definitely wish i could have my time back. i powered through this book, but even at the end, i have no idea what this book was about. it reminds me of this trippy, highly-symbolic, lousy-with-mythological-gods fairy tale i had to read in college -- that also flew straight over my head. "

" After reading nothing bunch young adult books it is nice to read something with a little more bite to it. "

" I put this book on my "fantasy" shelf, but it was harder to classify than that. It has a lot of fantasy elements, but it's also set in a future setting with a lot of technological elements as well. Great blend of mythology, magic, and science. "

" I really, really enjoyed this book. Well-written characters, interesting post-apocalyptic setting. Can't wait for the second one! "

" This author reminds me of China Mieville - not content, but something about the characters. "

" I loved the premise of this book, but a list of characters would have greatly improved my reading experience. (Please correct me if this feature is, in fact, included; I am reviewing after long-having returned the book to the library.) "

" It started out slow for me, because the pacing is epic (the Beowulf/Gilgamesh kind of epic), but once I got into it, I couldn't put it down. "

" A lot of great ideas, but the writing and story didn't do much for me. "

" Amazingly written. So tightly packed I'll probably have to read it three more times before I get it. "

" I loved the premise of this book, but a list of characters would have greatly improved my reading experience. (Please correct me if this feature is, in fact, included; I am reviewing after long-having returned the book to the library.) "

" Good but not good enough to look for the next in the series. I did like the melding of hard science fiction with the scandinavian mythos but the writing was awkward and the characters just didn't grab me. "

" This author reminds me of China Mieville - not content, but something about the characters. "

" Too hard to follow, and too depressing. I couldn't finish it. "
