By Sea & Sky: An Esowon Story by Antoine Bandele
3.0
I received this audiobook for free from Netgalley in exchange for a review.. Thank you to the Publishers and NetGalley.
The narrator was amusing. He sounded like quite a few different Phil LaMarr characters.
The book was ok. I enjoyed it well enough. I got through it quickly. It was fast paced in a way due to the action although I couldn't always follow along with what was happening.
I don't mind the main two characters. They are not meant to be sympathetic for the most part and I am okay with that. They are pirates after all. I more so was worried for the people around them since they often made destructive decisions.
I think the main issue for me with this book is that I am indifferent to it. I think that's because not much happened. I listened to the end where the author says that he had too much to put in one book but I'm not sure I agree with that.
I am open to finishing this trilogy but I can't say I will be on the lookout.
I am giving it 3 stars for the world-building and all the fight scenes.
Edit 01/29/21: I do think the next book should add a female voice actor to read Zalas part. Most books do that nowadays with 2 or more perspectives. Since Bandele has his own audiobook company I thought it might be something worth mentioning.
Also They fixed the blurb so I put that under spoilers.

Spoiler
The blurb states that She is on a mission to rescue her husband and become a sky pirate. The first chapter was set up like he was about to be captured but he wasn't. And he doesn't get taken till halfway through the book. It kind of makes the pacing odd and I think they should try to rewrite that blurb and add in that the is a second perspective. Which other readers might be interested in.I am open to finishing this trilogy but I can't say I will be on the lookout.
