Short and Sweet Audio Book Reviews # 374 - Winter World by A.G. Riddle, Smoke Eaters by Sean Grigsby

Winter World by A.G. Riddle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First of a Two book Series, Winter World tells a good story. The plot is simple. The Earth is cooling at a fast rate and no one know why. Enter our two main characters. One is the only survivor of the attack on the space station. The other is a prisoner who survives a takeover by the prisoners. Together they work to find and stop the cooling. There is some mystery in the book as why the man was in prison is keep a secret until the end of the book. The plot is very character driven and is fast paced. There are interesting support characters who add to the realistic feel of the story line. The world building and back story are well done again adding to the plot. While there is a solution by the end there is still a threat left to be faced in the next book.

This is told from alternating views from the two main characters. Edoardo Ballerini and Amanda Leigh Cobb do a great job with those voices as well as the voices of the various characters. I enjoyed Winter World and I have the next book on my wish list.


Smoke Eaters by Sean Grigsby
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Smoke Eaters is a thrill a minute journey as Cole Brannigan has to learn to battle dragons. These are not the nice kind either. I loved following Cole and found the world building fascinating. Look for some very different dragons and some different uses for the same. Cole has an interesting back story and other characters help flesh out what and how and why dragons have appeared. I loved Cole and Sherry, his wife, and how the story ended for the two of them.

The Narration by T. Ryder Smith was spot on fitting the emotions in the story with the appropriate voice.
