Disappointing

I didn't enjoy this one I had read the other two and was looking forward to it, maybe it would have been better to read it myself.

Pompous for no apparent reason

This being the third instalment I was hoping for some grand finale but it certainly did not give me that. Which is perhaps the point of the story but it left me so disappointed. The style of writing is pompous, often using repetitions to make a point and I found that extremely tedious. Most of the characters were adrift and completely self absorbed, pointless to a fault.

Finally, I do not understand why there were so many voice actors involved and why they were all reading with a different pace. I get that the tone of voice pertained to the character but some of it was so unnecessarily languid that I had to listen on double speed just to get through. Overall a rather disappointing experience.

Great narration and cast but unsatisfying ending

The voice performances were excellent. The book itself uses so many words to say a whole lot of nothing, much like the two previous books in the series. The ending of this series goes out of its way to deny every possible emotional payoff for the audience. I would not recommend the book to my worst enemies, but I would recommend checking out the audiobook narrators in other projects because they were all great.

well I finished it.

Really disappointed with this ending. I felt my interest being tested by the second book, but because I love torturing myself I carried on listening.

the story loves to procrastinate. We spend long chunks of chapters being hammered over the head with constant moral dilemma. This I felt was welcomed in the first book, but by the time I reached the 3rd I was thoroughly uninterested.
nothing happens for really long periods of time. it's incredibly dull to the point where something does happen I don't care.

The characters are so unlikable, (aside from a few) it's a struggle to keep listening. which is again disappointing as they were once great characters. I don't understand how it got to this point. so much build up for so little pay off?

overall I got very little from this book. the writing is slow and lecturing. it was so bad that I found myself constantly checking my app to see how long I had to wait until it was over. I found turning the speed up and playing Tetris really helped to lessen the brain rot.

Also just a side note, certain characters names are mispronounced by certain narrators. made the story hard to follow because suddenly there was a 'new character'
overall the narration was okay.

I'm choosing to have the Atlas six as a stand alone.

The end

Words cannot express how disappointed I am at the ending of this series. It could have been so good. There was way too much rambling for the first 10 hours. Yes correct I said 10 hours talking and forming alliances. And the she just starts killing off certain characters. It could have been so much more. Anti climactic.

Poor ending But voice actors amazing

Felt like 3/4 of this book is just rambling and what I thought would be a big pay off in the end too such an anti climactic finish. The direction is terrible which is such a shame as I really enjoyed book 1 & 2 nd one slightly

Far too long

Such a poor end to the trilogy. Too long, confusing and boring. I found that I couldn’t give a damn about any of them and just wanted it to end! Sad show, will stay with me for all the wrong reasons, blah!

Narrators are amazing, story is confusing and pointless

The first book in this series was so good, but the next two I really struggled to get through and didn’t pay attention to large sections of it…there was a lot of rambling, there almost seemed to be no point to the story. I really wanted to get emotionally invested in the characters but felt I wasn’t able to because of the seemingly randomly and confusing changing storylines. Narrators did an excellent job and are the only reason I finished this, I wish I’d stopped after the first book.

What’s going on?

It felt like it was written just to fulfil an obligation for a third book. Enjoyed the previous 2 but this was just all over the place!

Disappointing

After loving the first novel in this trilogy and enduring the blandness of the second, I had high hopes that this third installment would answer all of the loose ends of the first two and give a satisfying ending. Sadly, this was not the case. This book comes across as chaotic, indecisive and hectic. While I can agree with the author's message whether intentional or not, that love in its many forms is complex and that human nature is often selfish, the way in which the characters become overly entangled just came across as indecisive and led me to become less engaged with them. A very disappointing end to the trilogy and one I'm sadly glad is done.
