“I’m all for gender-fluidity but having one of the characters non-gendered makes the dialogue SO confusing as to make it almost un-listenable. Until a non-gendered pronoun is invented that doesn’t also indicate plurality, don’t try to be progressive to the detriment of the story.”

“I’ve just finished this show and it’s absolutely brilliant!! The character development is amazing. Very well narrated … The story itself brings a lot of things that happen on this planet into question. Just brilliant!”

“I trued to pass by the error of the language but this was too much to me, a spaceship imploded in the vacuum of space???
This history has to much logic fail.
The author need to get a dictionary!”

“Full of current political tropes. The “fantasy” of these stories is supposed to be in the settings not the poorly written characters.”

“More audio book than podcast, The Vela has all the trappings of space opera—a galaxy-spanning threat, a conflicted protagonist with complicated loyalties, despotic rulers, and a MacGuffin that changes everything.
However, all these elements come together beautifully across the series. As...”Read full review »

“Good story, liked listening to it. I just don’t understand why Niko was always referred to as them or they or there. Not as an individual he or she like every other person, made it painful to my ears every time the sentence was read.”

“The Vela is an extraordinary rollercoaster ride of adventure and emotion filled with unexpected events and genuinely human characters and relationships, all brought to life with great sound design and the narration art of Robin Miles. It should not be missed!”

“I really enjoyed it the story and voice acting! As silly as it may sound, I enjoyed the non-binary character and found it helpful to hear non-gendered pronoun use for adapting into real life.”

“The story if fairly intriguing but fairly see through also. The characters are just odd. The assassin has got a concern about killing people and just as the general starts getting interesting they’re almost removed and assigned as a remote baddie.
It’s kinda all over the place. The range of...”Read full review »

The narrator draws you into the world, helping you visualize the various settlements and the characters’ connection to them. You are inspired by Asala and Nico’s bravery and desire to do the...”Read full review »

“Can’t like it if I can’t listen to it. Definitely not paying just to hear the first episode to see if it’s interesting. Maybe additional ones later but there’s zero chance I’m paying for anything unless I know it’s worth it. Why would anyone intentionally limit their audience like that? Of course...”Read full review »
