This is a surprise to me but the recording of the narration is atrocious. It peaks and distorts often, pretty wild, especially coming from such a fantastic narrator (100% the recording producer, how can they have not fixed this or noticed?). The book is great, another solid bobiverse, can’t wait for the next one. It’s definitely a lead up book but still very enjoyable.

This book is a little frustrating in parts, it has such a great concept and I liked the main character enough but I dislike the “oh here’s a kid, he’s gunna do something dumb to progress the story” trope. The horror elements are close to scary but miss the mark at times and the voice acting for one of the goon guys is pretty bad. This was so close to being a super good book, it instead lives in a land of “it’s fine”. Concepts good enough I may read the next one, but I’ll wait for it to be on sale.
