These are short, but Goodreads!

AUDIBLE:
I really enjoyed listening to this book. The short stories were so good. I’m really intrigued with the entire birthing process and the difference of what we consider a lifetime to literally be one day. The idea of earth being a training simulator is also intriguing but what are we training for.
I think I found a new author. This is the first audio book that I’ve really enjoyed in a while. The Narrators voice fit well. I went to start book two and it’s a different narrator, not sure how to feel about that. Can get past the free audio file so I may have to buy it in print but overall the story line is really dope.

This was my first urban sci-fi book to read but won't be the last. I really enjoyed this collection of paranormal writings. They reminded me of why I love sci-fi movies like Avatar and Star Wars. For this to be a first genre read for me, I'm very impressed.
Biggest upset: editing. Grammar and spelling was slightly off throughout novel. While I know the editing process is tedious and most authors think their keen eyes catches every mistake, readers alike are being turned off with this repetition of non edited books. This should've been 5 stars but I can't overlook the obvious mistakes that need correction.
I also would like to a see a different cover, one with more illustrations and color. The cover provided was pretty bland. I also would love total character illustration pictures in their Negus state. The illustrations included needed to be more vivid to depict story.
I loved to visually imagine being on Negus and going through the birth canal over and over. I'm impressed by the inclusion of the recent attempt to start a race war and mistreatment by other races. I can't thank you enough for making MELANINS the name of an entire species. That sounds so much better than 'blacks' & 'African Americans'. That's how I'll describe myself and my race from this point forward.
I didn't have any negatives except that the book needs an editor or proofreader oversight. I can't wait for the next book so I know how this ends. I recommend this book to all readers for a chance to see exactly how sci-fi can turn an urban story into a masterpiece. Great job! #DaReviewersApproved

Part sci-fi, part ?
Interesting blend of sci-fi/fantasy in first part. I have no real idea why the second part was included. Tre stars at best.
