Unabridged Audiobook
I thoroughly enjoyed the first two books and the incredible cast of narrators really did make them a fantastic listen. Then I got to book 3... I went in excited to listen to a great last book. I was immediately let down by the complete 360 in Eva's narration. Not only did the Jersey accent sound phony but it made absolutely no sense whatsoever. Especially when going directly from book 2, where Eva was narrated perfectly, to book 3 where she picked up a god aweful Jersey accent on an alien planet. The writing for her character also took a big hit making her possibly the least likeable character in the story. (Even Alyssa was more likeable for gods sake). The rest of the cast did a great job as expected. The story line also became more of a chore to listen too and as it drug on, I finally gave up on my high expectations. All in all, a series worth the listen but I'm almost tempted to suggest reading the last book. If they had just left Eva's narration alone, it may have made up for issues with the story line.
Great listen will keep you entertained.
A good conclusion to a great series. Enough switchbacks to keep it going between occasional obvious comments and parallels to current political topics. Really enjoyed this and the entire series. Certainly ingeniously formatted and the ensemble actors in the audio production are very good.
