Repetitve

Whilst a great and likely continuation to the story I found my sound numerous times the author would just crack on and avoid reiterating threads of the story we'd already encountered in earlier books to such detail

I appreciate some repition is unavoidable and a necessary tool but it even went so far as repeating earlier sections from within this book

Regardless, another great performance and enjoyable continuation. I'll certainly be continuing the series and following Joseph's tale

They don't come bigger than this Epic

Can't wait to buy the next book in this series. Would make a Game of Thrones
type series.

Some thriller, mostly filler.....

The premise of the overall story is good. It ought to of been a trilogy at most. Unfortunately it has descended into a padded out multi book milking of the authors readers. The writing hasn't particularly improved since book one either and carries with it a distinctly amateur feel.
Disappointed, I will not be bothering with further books in this series and probably won't bother with the author again.

This Series Just Gets Better

What did you like most about Heavier Than a Mountain?

The story is moving at its own pace and will not be hurried. We are being treated to someone trying to revolutionize a society one step at a time. The characters are rounded and being developed they exist separately from the main character. You grow to care for the characters; their lives and dreams.

What did you like best about this story?

I understand what is going on. In so many books that have battles or fights someone has gone to great lengths to put a battle plan forward that might look good on paper but when someone is reading it, it's quite appalling. With the battle scenes in these books I can follow what is happening and I'm gripped.

What does Jonathan Davis bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

This is a pointless question. If I read the book instead of listening to it I imagine the voices would sound different. Mr Davis has saved me from this awful prospect. There was some seriously sloppy editing which is quite noticeable when you listen to the book. Initially when the book started my heart sank as it sounded like he was narrating with a bucket on his head. Fortunately, that doesn't last too long, but really shouldn't happen at all. However, I like his narration there is enough variation between the characters for me to be able to distinguish individual characters. He also does good female voices where there is variation and they don't all sound whiny.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

I hate this question please stop asking it.

Any additional comments?

At over 21 hours I love that these sequels are getting longer. The next book is hopefully out before the end of the year, please try and make the audible book happen at the same as the ebook.

truely enjoyable

Where does Heavier Than a Mountain rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

that's a hard question having only listened to the series once, but I would still put the series in the top 35%

What did you like best about this story?

the flow of the story pulls you into the scenes, the action is scant but again I must emphasise the story was overall good

Which scene did you most enjoy?

not into giving spoilers and I enjoyed the whole series

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I read the series over a period of about two weeks

Any additional comments?

very enjoyable, but I would like the author to add a little more action scenes in any further books in this series, and yes I do expect more, there is so much more to do in the story...

aaarrgghhh it finished

I do hate a book ending on a cliff-hanger, especially when there is no follow on book available right away.......when is the next one due ?

An excellent series so far with constant action and great storylines that keep you listening long after you should stop. I found myself being late a couple of times 'cos I sat in the car listening to the story on the car stereo ("hands free") instead of turning it off and going to my appointment ! Highly recommend the whole series
