À propos de cet audio

When you discover the world is a computer program, and you figure out that by altering the code you can time travel and perform acts that seem like magic, what can possibly go wrong?

Pretty much everything.

Just ask Brit, who has jumped around in time with such abandon that she has to coexist with multiple versions of herself. Now, Brit the Elder finds that her memories don't match Brit the Younger's. And there's the small matter of a glitch that's making Brit the Elder's body fritz out. Brit the Elder's ex-boyfriend Phillip wants to help her, but he'll have to keep it secret from his current girlfriend, Brit the Younger, who can't stand her future self.

Meanwhile, Martin is trying to protect Phillip from a relentless attacker he somehow hasn't noticed; Gwen is angry because Martin accidentally proposed to her; Gary tries to help the less fortunate, with predictably disastrous results; and an old nemesis might have to be the one to save them all.

In Out of Spite, Out of Mind, our fearless wizards discover the biggest glitch in their world's program may well be themselves.

well this was the weakest book so far... and I really wish Scott realized Black people lived in England in the past...

dues ex machina saves the day, several times

Struggled to finish. Characters weren't likable and it felt incongruous with other books in the series. Strong female characters are not female characters who are obnoxious and irrational but hold strongly to their opinions. Martin and Phillip both got a bum rap in this one, Gwen was bland, and Brit was obnoxious, spiteful, and generally unpleasant. Other books in the series have had rough patches, but this entire book is a rough patch. I'm giving three stars because Luke Daniels gave a great performance, as usual.

If you're a fan of the series, you should consider skipping this one. You'll continue to like the characters, if you do. I'm going to read book six since I'm invested in the characters and there's no way it could be as bad as this one...

Genuinely disappointed.

Just skip it. The only thing that saved this book is the amazing voice work.

Making some characters annoying.

The team of Scott and Luke continue to entertain. Can't wait for the next one.

A fun ride through time with the Wizards!

I've enjoyed this series from the beginning. Martin and Philip's adventures almost always make me smile and the narration by Luke Daniels is always excellent. Unfortunately book four was simply just not up to standards of the first three. This entry I am glad to say rebounds from the fourth book, though it is still not as good as any of the first three books. Still, I am glad to have another entry in the series and happy to see the overall story progressing to something bigger.

A Small Rebound from the Fourth Book

The Magic 2.0 series is an entertaining comic mashup of fantasy and science fiction, and Out of Spite, Out of Mind continues in the tradition of its preceding volumes. The author provides a light story with lots of funny banter between the characters, however, the overall tone of this story is a bit more "down" than the previous stories. #Audible1

Entertaining continuation of the Magic 2.0 series

Luke Daniels drives how a pretty solid performance again but I had to slow the playback so every sentence didn't as rushed as they were, you could have added nearly an hour to the book if they'd just let the dialog hang in the air more appropriately.

In the end I thought this was much better the fight and flight but only by a close margin. The overall ending left me incredibly unsatisfied and displeased with the characters, it was like watching a car crash in slow motion. I understand that Scott wanted to get to this part of the series at some point but they way he chose to get there seemed unnecessarily cruel to some of the most well meaning of characters.
He attempted to leave the book on a happy ending but with the degree of cruelty that I knew would forever be unresolved I could not in any way feel joy at the end of this book.
He chose to tease another better story idea at the end as a cliffhanger, much like fight and flight. But unlike fight and flight where he did the same thing it at least didn't feel like the whole book was a set up for the idea of a better story.
If you have read the previous books I don't think I'd recommend this, you'd might be better off waiting for the next one and looking up a plot summary of this before reading.

Showed potential but was disappointing

Reality is a simulation run by an unknown program for unknown reasons. So have fun

Here’s the issue of this book, the premise is great but then all the characters just talk about how big of a problem the premise is and spend the rest of the time trying to fix it by talking about it. There were a lot of scenes of people reading and talking about what they read. I didn’t feel like the problem was a problem because the characters weren’t overly concerned about it. Also I wish that the problem had been bigger, like maybe because of the glitch, people’s magic stops working correctly or stuff from other time periods shows up or people start repeating themselves or something tangible rather than someone’s foot was weird. There were a lot of things that would have raised the stakes rather than just the same conversations and actions happening over and over. I do love this series and I have a lot of high hopes for it and I’m hoping the next book is better.

Who thought wizards would be such a bunch of talking heads

I really enjoyed this series and this book does not disappoint. It was a better story than the last book. The conept was very interesting a new than the previous novels but lost its shine quickly. Still the characters are their same which makes the book very entertaining and a joy to listen to.

Fun listen, fades in the end.
