Summary
Near the border between two kingdoms, a vessel full of innocent passengers is destroyed. While the extent of the impending retaliation is unknown, its inevitability is not. Galactic war is approaching.
In a seedy bar in a distant corner of the solar system, a knight clad entirely in green armor puts forth a grisly challenge. The only person to accept the knight’s game is a woman who spends her time drinking and thieving.
These two acts, occurring in different parts of the galaxy, both lead to the same spot: The planet that will soon fall under attack.
Welcome to Space Lore, where Arthurian legend meets Star Wars. Epic space fantasy will never be the same.

Gets better as you read through it
An opening act of warfare means this starts well and the first appearance of the Green Knight is full of promise. It loses direction in the middle but returns to focus the more you work through the book and the final third is very good. No loose ends; everything is properly finished and although this is described as "Book 1" it could easily survive as a standalone book without a sequel. I enjoyed it, overall.

An interesting take on the Arthurian legend.
Well narrated, although when he tried voices they tended to run into each other. The characters were fairly shallow and throw away and the story line was trite and uninspiring.
Saying all that it was easy to listen too, no problem getting towards the end and sparks a little interest in the rest of the series.
I am left feeling that the author could have done so much more with the story and characters, and I'm interested in seeing if they both develop.

Fantasy Meets Sci-fi
*Recieved for Free*
What do you get when you combine Arthurian legend esk Fantasy, with Space Opera? The Space Lore series apparently, and if this first entry in the series is anything to go by, then its actually managed to mash the 2 genres together very well. The main plot screams high fantasy, with the action lending itself to sci-fi trappings.
Why only a 3/4 star review then? The book is Good, but does have some slight failings, all of which will probably be corrected as the sequels go forward
1)The pacing is rapid. The books is split into 89 chapters (no, seriously, 89 chapters in just a single audiobook), with each being short in length. The book starts steady then just goes a breakneck pace until its conclusion.
2) I never felt like I was given much time to connect to the charactors. The main protagonist and antagonist gets some fleshing out, but I felt this could have done with a lot of expansion. Theres also a really great cast of side charactors who you never really learn anything about, other than there names, and what they are like as people. Your meant to be routing for these people to succeed, give the reader a reason to.
I will give Dietzel credit however, even though there were elements I didnt find enjoyable, its overall a very good read. Most suprisingly, because this is a series, the book actually has a proper ending. Now that the world building is done, and the charactors established, I can only imagine that going forward a lot of my criticisms of this entry will go away. Hopefully the sequel also has better pacing
Also, well done to Greg Tremblay - good narration, and an overall solid performance

terrible writing
the writer spends too much time being repetitive and boring. they spend to much time describing things around the galaxy,doors buildings science and random people who have no bearing to the story. such and such felt something coming and so did the others and on and on. the story seems to take a back seat for just describing anything and everything,almost as if the writer had little story to work with and was trying to fill a word count

the green knight
was a good fun story just a few niggles like 1 fleet commander extolling the virtue of restraint while committing genocide, and another casually murdering subordinates wasnt sure where my sympathies should lie, performance was excellent
