A whole bunch of nothing rambling on and on and on. Pretentious and melancholic. Chapters are really short (2-4m) and extremely annoying when you hear “chapter xyz” every 3 minutes. Probably 10%+ of the length is chapter names

Although this book is categorized as sci-fi, it's leans more speculative fiction. He writes as a medium to pose questions and discuss them through characters, which is fine, but I didn't find a lot of the topics in the book interesting.

Todd McLaren does a great job. Abby Craden does good voice-acting but has a habit of emphasizing the last syllable in every sentence, which drives me insane...

I read this book because I just finished the Witcher 3 game and wanted more Witcher stories. I love the short story format because each one feels like a quest.
Peter Kenny is just phenomenal with his voice acting. All the characters are distinct and consistent, which greatly enhances the experience since the book is heavy on dialogues. There’s even a “goat” character for whom Kenny did a great job. I’m super excited for the rest of the books and so glad the series has an outstanding narrator.

One of the best narrators I’ve listened to. She does a great job at different voices for different characters and really adds to the story.

The book can be a little hard to get into. Things are not laid out plainly. I started to get it after chapter 4 and ended up restarting, which was great. Didn’t love the ending so 4/5

Would have been a much better book if it was 2/3 of the length. Found the ending really unsatisfying. Narrator did a good job though

Writing is excellent especially Minka’s story. Didn’t like the structure/pacing or the ending. Didn’t love Sage’s character or narration.

Clever story but the writing felt too long or boring at times. Felt like a lot of the book was a bunch of nothing happening

Simple humor and great performance by the cast. Loved to listen to an episode after a long day. Hope the team will produce more content in the future!

Less a linear story and more of a giant monologue. Not enough plot for me
