SGT. THOR: Little Sister (SGT. THOR, Book 0.5) Audiobook

It kept me motivated by keeping my attention on.the story. High tech soldier in a future that isn't high tech, but Old Magic... and nothing is what it seems to be.
Best free sample I've ever had. I actually cleaned longer than I normally do because I wanted to finish the book.

Narrator's vocal work is 👌.

The writing is amazing. If you check where all the exits are when you sit down in a restaurant, you’ll love the way there’s books are written!

As you can I see I still gave it 5 starts and I'm definitely picking up Sgt. Thor series after I finish Forgotten Ruin (I'm on Violence of Action right now). Very Howard's Conan style, but with Anspach & Cole unmistakable flavor! Liked it, but save for later.

I enjoyed this audiobook's story of Sgt. Thor investigating a mysterious island of beauty and danger. However - half the time was dedicated to summarizing the events of the first 4 books. It clearly wants to be a teaser to get readers interested in the series, and it does that job by telling us about Sgt. Thor himself. The backstory may be a great premise, but it comes off as cringe in a long infodump which has the charm of a nerd cornering you and explaining all the lore of his homemade fantasy setting, in unwanted detail. Also, I now know the plots, character arcs and secret reveals of the books in detail, so why would I read them?

Prose is OK, seems like it was probably unedited Anspach. There was a high concentration of high speed tacticool military slogans, jargon and lessons learned from "The Sandbox" where the lethal operators embraced the suck, hooah.

The narrator does a good job but his first few lines, the title stuff, sound really bad. I suggest rerecording them to avoid scaring off listeners.

This was a helluva great short, letting us see what Sgt Thor is capable of on his own in the Ruin. I️ really liked it.
