I remember reading this book. Revisiting really gives Saren more dimension than what we got in the first game and first time reading. I liked it.

Now that i think about it, the quarians might just be my favorite race in all of sci-fi 🤔Cant really think of a more interesting space race. Of course thats aside from the undisputed greatest faction in 40k..... THE TAU 🤭 No im being completely 100% right now🤭 Im serious guys! If you really think about it, the Tau are just such a unique 😅😂🤣

Ok is it just me or are this and Revelation kinda mediocre??? 🤔 I remember absolutely loving these books when they came out. So much so that i read through whole series twice. But coming back to them now that im old and jaded lol, 35, im actually pretty disappointed 😞 There not "bad" necessarily, thier just "okay" 🤷‍♂️ Though it is entirely possible that if i wasn't already a MASSIVE fan of the ME universe I would consider them bad.... I'm only 2:03:48 in to ascension though, so hopefully it can turn around and impress me before the end 🤞 Also i did just finish the first 2 dune books, after the new movie reignited my sci-fi obsession, came back to ME books for a light fun read after the ludicrously heavy, intricate masterpieces from Herbert. So its possible im only disappointed with the ME books because i just finished 2 of the best sci-fi stories ever told 🤷‍♂️ Anywho THANKS FOR THE UPLOAD HOMIE🙏😊

Whoever you are thanks for the full and complete audiobook read by an actually human being. Thumbs up and have a nice day.

Many Batarians were harmed in the making of this program.

The one negative i think, is this weird romance angle written, between sanders n anderson. It feels weird since with the roles they had in their initial meeting in book1, anderson comes across more like a fatherly guy than a love interest. Perhaps a lil' younger than her real dad but not by much, since her dad already retired at 50. From the games i'd say that is about anderson's age now. She seems too young, by what can b guessed from her story. It also kinda takes away from the impact of grayson's death. Further, it makes me doubt all the times that her possible will to keep him alive against better judgement. In both cases, why would she care that much with her next conquest already lined up? It makes grayson into an inconvenience n also the story doesn't makes it a point, that she's conflicted at any time about this n has to get clear, even if just 4 herself, about it. Since this relationship isn't important to the story in any form it seems a unnecessary idea that is a net - negative overall.

The illusive man, imposing? I could barely keep myself from laughing usually upon hearing his weird speach impediment. It's impossible to take the guy serious.

Wait, wait, wait- isn't the book supposed to b after ME 2? Either that info was off or i must wonder, which collectors? Those u send together with their base into a gas giant? Those who have no longer been under reaper controll n have no need for further kidnapped humans? Aaand if not- how likely is it that those collectors would pay mercs for a job they could easily do without help, as well as allways did so? With what would they even pay the guys? They didn't struck me like part of the usual economy or even familiar with the concept of a deal for mutual benefit.

Allways liked the games' lore n also the author very much so for his darth bane trilogy. Yet somehow i can't get the thought out of my head, that this ip was explicitly started for the purpose, that sony get their own "halo", after diving into it's lore a lil' more recently. I hadn't done this when i stumbled over the ME games initially and tho' neither a renamed copy, nor even the same game genre, their are certain foundational elements the story n world are build on, that clearly were heavily drawing inspiration from halo. It's like a teint impossibly to ignore now, each time certain elements get mentioned in any way. Above all of course the reapers (flood/precursors), their cyclic whiping of the universe (flood's destruction of the leading species as a "test" meant to fail until their contendor species is ready for ut's turn), the protheans (forerunners) who were technically beyond anyone else n disappeared jisteriously, the keepers (huragok - the bioengineered maintanence creatures of the forerunners) who seem not really living intelligent beings n no machines either, being single minded in their intent to repair prothean technology. Since halo started years earlier, it's obvious who copied who. What i must say is that i like the bigger number of species in ME. It's actually weird that their wasn't much more story made in terms of novels with the opportunity that brings. Of course halo's story is limited into n around one galaxy only what excuses the smaller variety but given how many books could b made from that, which also take place inside a single decade of a more than 100000 year window of relevant history,even the main war of that story was 3times as long n the opportunities for stories that were not involving humans were barely started to be evolved. With that mountain of potential even in halo's smaller scope untouched, just imagine how far this ME universe could've been taken.

Really like these books. Thank you. 💜,🐥

I like these books knowing nothing about the game. Thanks 💜,🐥

Bro came out of nowhere dropped the 3 mass effect books and then disappeared absolute giga chad

Such a great sci fi universe! It sorely deserves more content, another trilogy would be great.

I like how the action sequences are consistent with Mass Effect's gameplay. Even the character editor has a role here - so to speak (when a charakter takes melanin pills).

Batarians gets slaughtered in this one. Gela is basically a stump after Skarr's attack.

It’s so refreshing to get more lore to consume from this universe we love so much

Scar was a badass, really liked him… them wise Krogan be lowkey smart asf

I really like Goyle but it’s still dumb to study AI tech

Fuck this needs to be a movie LOL

Anderson’s female squad mate, the one he saved (forgot her name) definitely caught feelings for him… shame she goes unmentioned throughout the most of the story tho seemed like an Ashley Williams esq character

This type of story is what we’ll be getting for the next Mass Effect game imo… lower level espionage 🔥

It’s cool to link the details in this to ME3 where Sanders works at Grissom Academy and how there’s obviously history and interest between Sanders and Anderson

I feel like there’s an alternative timeline where Anderson and Saran could’ve gotten along… kinda like a Shepard x Garrius thing

New found respect for Anderson, he was always a homie throughout the Trilogy but with this background lore he’s goated asf… definitely gives off Shepard vibes (in the best ways)

This could easily be a movie… so good

Even commander Shepard at 100% reputation points can’t hold a candle to ambassador Doyle. As far as I’m aware she’s the only mass effect character in history to pull a speech check on the council.

It would be amazing if the codex actor read this

Ch.14.- " like chattle." Lol

It's the biggest shame in the world that Lemm was essentially forgotten after this! I would've loved to have seen him in the video games!

Congratulations on the beautiful nation by this narating hippie thank's for sharing this fun naration by you appreciate it's fun stuff that you did great work.

Pretty bad book to be honest not as good as I remembered. Definitely not to the usual level of stuff by Drew

Man these are awesome

Thank you so much! Love these books

Your story line is flawed... enemy ships would not be received with open arms or open doors.... I'm done here
