Publisher's Summary:

The ads enthused, "The virtual lands of Mirror World await you! Live out your most secret dreams in our world of Sword and Sorcery! Become a Great Wizard or a Famous Warrior! Build your own castle, tame a dragon, conquer a kingdom! All those desperate, lonely, and insecure - Mirror World offers you a chance!"

But Oleg isn't meant to become a great wizard or a famous warrior. He'll never have a castle of his own. Nor will he ever tame a dragon. And he's definitely not the type to conquer a kingdom, however virtual it may be.

Mirror World Shines

Lately there have been a lot of LITRPG books coming out into the market, some good and some not so good; Project Daily Grind, book one in the Mirror World, series is a great LITRPG experience.

I really like the pace of this story and the main character, Oleg. Hes not out to conquer the world and just wants to grind it out in the game hoping to make enough money to care for his sick daughter. Of course it wouldnt be a good story without some twists and there are many quests and surprises as is fitting an LITRPG book, enough to keep the story very interesting.

As an old time gamer this genre appeals to me but it also intrigues the imagination for possibilities that may be coming in our real world. These LITRPG books are works of fiction but the immersion into a digital reality, where people can work and live an alternative life does not seem that farfetched of a concept; after all when Jules Vernes wrote Twenty thousand leagues under the sea, in eighteen seventy submarines were a work of fiction as well, anyone can look on the internet or explore the latest in gaming technology and see the possibilities.

Ive nearly completed the second book, The Citadel; it continues were Project Daily Grind, ended and, so far, its just as good as the first.

Love this genre

Completely addicted to LiTRPGs. Audible needs to keep these coming. This one is just as good as the way of the shaman and play to live if you like those series.

Doing It for Love

Unlike most stories of this type, this protagonist isn't an adventurer; instead, he is a daily grinder, working on earning money to save his daughter's life. He's one of a kind, in the game, and a 'crazy' now ex-employee programmer has made sure that his life would be interesting.

Well written and narrated. I found it a fun listen and look forward to the next book.

Such a strange book

I have played MMORPG's such as Runescape in the past. Listening to the audio of this story was like listening to someone talk about the step by step progress they made through that world. Which could be painful beyond belief, but for some reason, I didn't mind.

The writing is not great, its not bad either. The main character is flat. As other reviewers have said, he is a whiny little dude. The story structuring is so patently a blow by blow account of an MMORPG I cant get beyond it.

Title: The Great St. Mary's Day Out

Subtitle: A Chronicles of St. Mary's Short Story

Author: Jodi Taylor

Narrator: Zara Ramm

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 36 mins

Language: English

Release date: 08-01-16

Publisher: Audible Studios

Ratings: 5 of 5 out of 690 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Everyone deserves to get away for a bit. Even the miscreants at St Mary's.

Astonishingly, Dr. Bairstow has declared a holiday. Even more astonishingly - he's paying for it. Needless to say, there are strings attached. They have to record the 1601 performance of Hamlet, with Shakespeare himself in the role of the Ghost. It doesn't go well, of course.

With Dr Bairstow and Mrs Mack turning a simple visit to a street market into a public brawl, Professor Rapson inadvertently stowing away on a vessel bound for the New World, and Shakespeare himself going up in flames, it would seem that Max, of all people, is the only one actually completing the assignment.

Members Reviews:

Saint Mary's Meet Shakespeare

Where does The Great St. Mary's Day Out rank among all the audiobooks youve listened to so far?

Quite high... this was a lot of fun.

What did you like best about this story?

The circus-like farce in general. Each group of Saint Mary's staff with their own adventures.

Have you listened to any of Zara Ramms other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, she does an excellent job as usual.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

This story was pretty light hearted ad I was laughing out loud several times.

Any additional comments?

This takes place after Lies, Damned Lies, And History and before And The Rest Is History. Contains some spoilers for Lies, Damned Lies, And history. Recommended.

Wonderful short story - Absolutely Love the St Marys series !

Highly recommend The Chronicles of St Mary's series - always waiting for the next book or novella to come out !

A crazy good series - its a roller coaster ride with very funny & clever dialogue - & Zara Ramm delivers it beautifully - she is an amazing narrator !

Do yourself a favor & read the series . Actually I highly recommend anything by Jodi Taylor - the Frogmorton Farm books as well as the new series - White Silence !

What a treat!!

My husband and I are big fans of the Chronicles if St. Marys series. We really like these bonus short stories because they fill in the gaps between the full books without giving anything important away plot wise between those books, and these adventures are always referred to in later books. This book was a real treat! All chaos, historical personages and fun add up to a rollicking good time - for the listener that is. Zara Ramm is the true voice of St. Marys, and her performance was excellent, as usual. But I will say that if you are only listening to these short stories because they are free or just a few bucks, you are missing out. For the most fun, do entire series in order.

Great Saint Mary's story again

Very short tale with the same humor and amusement as other Saint Mary's. Wish it was longer but it does convey the whole tale.

The Great St Mary's Day Out

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I adore The Chronicles of St Mary's. The St Mary's short stories are great fun but they're not as engaging, satisfying, and adventurous as the novels.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

The end - well - I could see it coming.

Title: Smith of Wootton Major

Author: J. R. R. Tolkien

Narrator: Derek Jacobi

Format: Unabridged

Length: 1 hr and 6 mins

Release date: 07-28-16

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 201 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

Tolkien's acclaimed modern classic 'fairie' tale, read by Derek Jacobi.

Smith of Wootton Major journeys to the Land of Faery thanks to the magical ingredients of the Great Cake of the Feast of Good Children.

Members Reviews:

Charming

I loved this imaginative book, full of wonderful characters. It is such a fun read.

A lovely and hopeful story.

I really enjoyed hearing this story read aloud. I had read the story myself years ago, but this was a real treat. In fact I listened to the last 5 minutes sitting in the grocery store parking lot.

A delightful journey along the edges of Faery.

J.R.R. Tolkien is best known for his epic masterpiece, The Lord of the Rings, and the children's book, The Hobbit, with which it begins. But his shorter works are delightful and Smith of Wootton Major is a little gem. Don't miss it!

Wonderful story. Highly recommend.

Tolkien creates something wonderful here, a story truly worth reading. It is a story that lodges itself in the soul, long after it has been read.

Great short story!

Would you listen to Smith of Wootton Major again? Why?

Sure. I don't have any kids at this time, but if I did this is one of those stories that would be great to share with them while getting ready for bed.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Smith of Wootton Major?

With a story this short, I wouldn't say that it is developed enough to really separate and say that there is a certain section that I can't wait to get to. However, being so short it is one of those stories that is still able to flesh out good characters and be a simple, enjoyable listen.

What does Derek Jacobi bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

I think Derek Jacobi does a great job at treating this as a great story for children and as such treats it in a way that would be enjoyable to them.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

J. R. R. Tolkien. .. More than just an epic fantasy novelist!

Any additional comments?

This may not be for all people. It is not your typical adventure story. Probably something more along the lines of a subdued adventure story.

Title: The Yiddish Policemen's Union

Subtitle: A Novel

Author: Michael Chabon

Narrator: Peter Riegert

Format: Unabridged

Length: 12 hrs and 38 mins

Language: English

Release date: 07-05-16

Publisher: HarperAudio

Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 493 votes

Genres: Sci-Fi & Fantasy, Fantasy: Contemporary

Publisher's Summary:

For 60 years Jewish refugees and their descendants have prospered in the federal district of Sitka, a temporary safe haven created in the wake of the Holocaust and the shocking 1948 collapse of the fledgling state of Israel. The Jews of the Sitka District have created their own little world in the Alaskan panhandle, a vibrant and complex frontier city that moves to the music of Yiddish. But now the district is set to revert to Alaskan control, and their dream is coming to an end.

Homicide detective Meyer Landsman of the district police has enough problems without worrying about the upcoming Reversion. His life is a shambles, his marriage a wreck, his career a disaster. And in the cheap hotel where Landsman has washed up, someone has just committed a murder - right under his nose. When he begins to investigate the killing of his neighbor, a former chess prodigy, word comes down from on high that the case is to be dropped immediately, and Landsman finds himself contending with all the powerful forces of faith, obsession, evil, and salvation that are his heritage.

At once a gripping whodunit, a love story, and an exploration of the mysteries of exile and redemption, The Yiddish Policemen's Union is a novel only Michael Chabon could have written.

Members Reviews:

Beyond Noir

I loved this book. Chabon's phrasing and descriptive written make me want to write again. While reading this book I found myself looking at the world around me and trying to describe it they way Chabon describes the world he creates in Sitka. I will be looking for more novels by Michael Chabon.

Great story and voice but what's with the music?

I love the story and the narrator was perfect. The only thing that struck me as odd the whole time I was listening was the addition of music introducing certain chapters. The music felt out of place for style and was allowed to play under the narration for the first sentence or two of each chapter which was really really strange. Other than that strange stylistic choice, it was great.

Totally hooked

Michael Chabon tells a totally believable detective story about a Jewish community in Alaska. It is told with humour - under current. I especially loved the part where our hero is dashing across the freezing cold Alaskan countryside driving a snow (I'll say) scooter in his underwear. It reminds me of the movie Fargo . Totally different characters and story, but written with the Jewish view point and character. I would love to see this book made into a movie.

The narrator, Peter Riegert was fantastic. I would easily listen to another book narrated by him. It would also be great if they did this book as a movie that he would cast as one of the actors.

I also enjoyed listening to the author's interview at the end about writing this book. It was most interesting to listen to his process. I hope he writes a second book about these Jews in Alaska. I am from Northwestern Ontario, so I got the cold and the animals and the moose dishes. Great Book!!!!

I'd prefer reading this

I love listening to books, but I do other things while I listen. This book has such rich prose and so much information in each sentence that I found I was missing too much by listening. It helped to find a synopsis, but even then it was challenging to follow. I'm a visual learner, so think I would have done fine if I'd actually read it instead of listening.

loved the concept of the story

This is a great concept that the Japanese anime and manga have been using for a while. I love how the story is written with adults in mind.

Much better than the first.

If you listened to the first book you'll know it was a bit amateurish, but this was much better and now I'm excited for the next one.

good series

loved it def worth a listen to and can't wait till book 3, and any future books

A great read for the crazy engineering side (NOT FOR KIDS!!!)

If you read this book Two things will stand out.

1) The story has great application of magic far from the normal lighting blots and fireballs this book give really life to the weaving of magic. It make the book more complicated however it give it sum depth that many book incorporating spell craft are vary noticeably missing.

2) The sex is almost nonstop close to every chapter and sum chapters totally devoted to the subject.

Side note: Not for children!!!

Crazy about this series!

Why isn't book 3 on audio!! I canonly read while I work since I'm self employed & I am so I to these books! Completely unique & spellbinding & manages to become perky charming & hot & fun as well as terrifying. Perfect blend of multi culture mythology I am so happy I found this series!!! More to come?

Members Reviews:

Much More Than Just another Military SciFi Opera

This is an excellent series. The science while arguable is very well and consistently presented. Very good characters and an excellent ending to the series that places it well into true SciFi instead of just a military series that happens to be in space.

Well Done Nick Webb!!!

I look forward to what you give us next.

I got lost...

And... I got lost.. a dozen times. And you would say that's often heard from people who are disappointed and you would be right... but not this time. I got lost because so many characters where good, then bad, then you don't know. It is a very interested way the author has made the links between the different main characters in the book. This book rules them all! If you like book 1 and 2 - you will be thrilled by this book. HIGHLY recommended! Job well done by both - author and narrator. Great story, great performance, lots of sci-fi, lots of interesting situations. It is one of the strongest and most interesting books I've listen!

Great series but too real?

This was a great trilogy of books I couldn't put down until I had finished all 3. I read the first book shortly after it was released and was disgusted by how realistic the politicians were. I had a hard time picking up the series again when it was completed because I like to have the "swamp drained", corrupt politicians get killed off. So in the end I gave the story a 4 because it was just too realistic. Substitute names and war zones and it would fit into a true life tale of today's politics

Excellent series

Enjoyed all three books until the epilogue, it just ruins the whole thing. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars

Good, overall. Cheap read though.

What did you love best about Victory?

This had some very interesting ideas as a series, and some fantastically hilarious points. However, i was highly disappointed in the ending and in how the "Secret Government Plots" stuff ended up playing themselves out. I was very interesting in learning more about the presidents and having them be a part of the story, both american and Russian but it all ended very.... anti-climatically.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Eh, it was ok. I was disappointed in each book individually, but all together it was okay. The ending was.. highly anti-climatically.

What does Greg Tremblay bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

The voice and performance of the reader was fantastic though. Sadly, the story just didn't quite live up to what i was hoping for, but the performance was first rate.

Members Reviews:

Good but erratic flow at times.

Enjoyed series but in this book the author made several irrational plot twists that didn't support the flow of the story. Seemed forced at times as though character development was an afterthought. Having said that, I'd still recommend the series.

Excellent! a great culmination

A great series that I plan on reading several times for sure! one of my favorite narrators so far!

Akira - The Blundering Surrender Monkey

The saga begins to plod along in book 3 but the most glaring fault line in the story is how absolutely inept Akira is as a leader. First, he knowingly allowed a ruthless and brutal general to ride roughshod over his people, then he falls into a trap and is forced to surrender to Tanak. Then, through Tanak's death due to his own brand ineptitude, Akira becomes king of the two kingdoms.

Good enough so far but then after realizing that the Azirians would still overwhelm the 2 kingdom's combined forces he decides to surrender to Sen, lord of the 3rd kingdom, and through the kindness of Sen, he is handed over control of all 3 kingdoms.

He then launches a guerilla campaign against the divided Azirian clans to keep them in check but then decides to personally infiltrate a known enemy monk monastery with only a single soldier and against the sage advise of his advisor, Capt. Young, and as predictable as market bubbles, he gets caught and ... wait for it ... surrenders again!

While there are other story arcs playing out in this book, Ryuu, Moriko, Nameless, &c. they all pale when compared to Akira follies so, I'll leave it at that.

A book of inconsistencies and petty squabbles

I started optimistic with this book, but the story is far from well written.

The characters are inconsistent and unbelievable.

We have an assassin thats changes personality every time i read about her.

The main issue is the King. He acts like a leader of a small town militia, and not a leader of kingdoms.

I know the book is about 3 kingdoms and an invasion. But based on the story development, its more like 3 small towns and a local dispute. The scale of the disputes and the plots are just wrong. 6 people died when there should been 6 hundred or 6 thousand.

There are so many issues with the plot and story development in this book. It feels like a first draft, before the feed back.

Siri would narrate better!

Siri would have done a better job narrating this book. The story is fun but kind of amateurish.

The Keiko is a ship of smugglers, soldiers of fortune and adventurers, travelling Earth's colony planets, searching for the next job. And nobody talks about their past.

But when a face from Captain Ichabod Drift's former life sends them on a run to Old Earth, all the rules change. Trust will be broken, and blood will be spilled.

Critic Reviews:

"Mike Brook's Dark Run is a rambunctious, rapidfire rollercoaster of a listen. Get signed up and strapped in for a helluva ride!" (Michael Cobley, author of the Humanity's Fire series)

"Dark Run is a thrill-ride of non-stop action, wise-crackery and adventure in the vast vaults of outer space. I look forward to revisiting Ichabod Drift and the crew of the Keiko time and again...." (Luke Scull)

Members Reviews:

Fun sf in a familiar setting *cough Firefly cough*

This was a light, entertaining story. But for a few twists, it could easily be the story of some other ship and crew in the Firefly universe. I don't mean that as a criticism; the story is action-packed, well told with some interesting characters....just like Firefly. Brooks does a great job of mixing back story with fast paced action.

The narration is excellent; Lynch does a great job with different accents and voices. Pacing is a bit fast but not really a problem.

It appears to be the first in a series: I will definitely be back for more.

Clichéd and Flat

I'm ok with tropes as they are familiar and comforting. However when the author uses a cliche to describe character annd plot points as a crutch so they don't have to actually spend effort writing something creative. That's not very enjoyable to read. Also the narrator is particularly bad... from half hearted to muddled accents to poor attempts at stage whispering or shouting. There are a couple of scenes where a character slips into another persona to con or trick someone ... but despite the book explaining what accent or speech pattern he is using to pretend to be someone else... the narrator basically uses the same voice... except one version has a slight sore throat, the other a stuffed nose.

You should definately give this one a try.

It's fairly rare when I bother to do written reviews of books. I like them or don't like them to varying degrees and don't feel like it's important to tell people why I like them. That and I don't much like having to analyze a book I read for enjoyment because it wrecks it for me sometimes.

This book, I wanted to do at least a little something for. I don't think it's had enough praise personally.

Damien Lynch did an amazing job bring this story to life. He's an excellent narrator and I have enjoyed the books I have that he has done.

There are a lot of people that compare this to Firefly*. It does have some of the things I valued most about Firefly such as the interplay of characters. You'll find a similar layout. A Captain that's got a past and a mostly stable moral compass...maybe it wobbles a little, sometimes. A strong female first mate or whatever you'd deem her, an amazing pilot, a talented engineer, and a mercenary. There are also characters that aren't exactly dups of the crew. Such as the tech wizard (I know sort of River, but not) and the gentle giant (sort of like Shepherd Book, but not).

Excellent Surprise !

Bought this series expecting mild interest. And couldn't stop listening. Excellent story, interesting characters brought to life by narrators who made each and every character uniqueness in recognition of their voices. Listened every chance I got and slipped in extra time when possible. Loved loved loved this series.

Tearjerker, but beautiful ending

Sorry that the story is over. There were a lot of surprises in this book. I won't spoil it, but a lot of things made sense in the end, and the losses were hard.

Wonderful Story

I loved the story, both reading and listening to it. The narrators did a wonderful job.

Wonderful story!! Until now I've never wanted to be a troll!!

Just read it!!! It's outstanding!!! Powerful relationships, powerful love. You love each character by the books end, and despise the nasty ones!!

Loved the whole series.

Although I felt this book was not the best in the series I was happy with it overall. I enjoyed the story and the characters. Hope to read more from this author. Great books!

I've done some stupid things in my time. I've been reckless. I've broken a few rules. But never before have I ruined so many lives or left such a trail of destruction behind me.

As Max would be the first to admit, she's never been one for rules. They tend to happen to other people. But this time she's gone too far, and everyone is paying the price. Grounded until the end of time, how can she ever put things right?

Members Reviews:

Why do her books have to end????

I truly feel so immersed in St. Mary's world that when the books are over I feel I have been shoved out of a Pod into a strange time/place and all I want to do is yell DOOR, fall back in, say 'Initiate Jump ".. And let the world go white.

Honestly, I am a constant Audible book listener 24/7 365 and when I see a St Mary's book come up on the pre order list, I am practically hopping on one foot until the moment it becomes available. I might actually have yelled at my phone to HURRY UP (but as there are no witnesses except my dog, I will deny it).

In other words, I strongly recommend this series. The characters, world building and plot are all exemplary.

Note to Jodi Taylor... Please write faster.

Surviving History One Jump At A Time.

What did you like best about this story?

This installment had lots more close calls, a shifting of power and as usual tons of tea drinking. While our trio of Max, Petersen and Markham have had better days, we know they will make it right somehow in that St. Mary's fashion. The ending is a WALLOP and I can't wait for the next installment.

What about Zara Ramms performance did you like?

I thank Jodi Taylor for creating these characters but Zara Ramm brings them to life. She's added tenderness, charm and humor to Max and the rest of the gang at St. Mary's. Ms. Ramm is perfect.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

My anxiety levels flew with the last few chapters but in good St. Marys style at the end I had a good laugh.

Any additional comments?

It's always a privilege and an honor to follow the gang at St. Mary's on a new adventure. Then enjoy the entire series from the beginning because Max's insights to weight gain, tea drinking and finally married life are not to be missed.

I love this combination!

Jodi Taylor and Zara Ramm are the perfect paring in this romping historical/ science fiction/ mystery/thriller/ romance series. Great fun. And history lessons to boot! What's not to love.

Trouble?

Wanted to stretch out this new book as long as possible but couldn't stop listening and laughing.

Wishing you give a review 6 Stars

Funny, bawdy and full of sarcasm. Jodi Taylors writing, Zara Ramm narration and typical St. Mary's antics do not disappoint. Max leads her merry band of misfits through time like a proverbial bull through a china shop. All my favorite characters are here, Markham and Peterson and some new faces. The only thing that I can say I disliked is that it was over way too soon.

If you ever want to introduce a friend to audible, a sure fire way to win them over is to provide them a gift written by Jodi Taylor.
