About this listen

New York Times best-selling author Simon R. Green’s novels featuring field agent Edwin Drood have won a devoted fan following.

The Drood Matriarch has been murdered, exposing the family to powerful, evil factions and throwing the world into turmoil. A Satanic presence is growing, and although Edwin has always been something of an outsider, he’ll have to rise to the occasion to help thwart the menace and save his people.

Can't wait for the next one!

I enjoyed the twist in the end, it was very Simon R. Green. I like how the characters in each series drop the names and locations from other series in conversation with each other. I can't wait to listen to the next one to hear an explanation for what happened at the end of this book.

Drood Fall Flat

There are things I like about the Droods, the family dynamics can make for some interesting reading. But there's no real sense of danger. As Eddie keeps reminding us every 3rd page, Droid armor is impenetrable. Droods are unstoppable. Droods kick a**. Droid armor makes the Dropd family pretty much unbeatable & there is no real sense that Eddie or any of his family are in even the slightest of danger except occassionally when some overwhelming force attacks en masse. I feel no anxiety for the welfar and safety of Eddie or Molly because the Drood armor will protect Eddie &, if necessary, Eddie will protect Molly.
And Eddie's violation of the sanctuary club, where Eddie beat his (Shaman Bond) dear friend to a bloody pulp because the man refused to allow Eddie to violate the sacred rule, that was disgusting and pathetic on Eddie's part and made him no better than the scum the rule was protecting. Eddie Drood views himself & his family as above the law minor gods who uphold the law of "do as I say and not as I do."
The banter between Eddie and Molly was cute at first. Now it's just annoying. Each book in this series seems to be a reworked version of the previous book. Might be good YA material but falls flat for me as an adult reader. Annoying juvenile banter between adult characters. No real danger posed to the antagonist, the same antagonist who upholds the laws that he breaks, and he doesn't even break them in any creative manner. He's just an overpowered, immature, hypocritical douche that's not in any real danger because of his godlike armor that no one I've read about so far poses even the slightest threat to.
Cringe worthy background noise.

There are a lot more women in this been in the oth

If you could sum up For Heaven’s Eyes Only in three words, what would they be?

When molly and all her sisters come together to come quite exciting they can do numerous things and they have more abilities didn't even realize

What was one of the most memorable moments of For Heaven’s Eyes Only?

As they all work together to fight this is a tan at people it becomes quite cumbersome but they all have apartment in it

Which scene was your favorite?

When they go to the fair and all the different books are there and then say when did people start walking through is this the only place very interesting to see what happens up there

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I never wanna listen to a book in its entirety in a 17 I like to bring myself a long until I can get to the end up even if I have to stop in the middle of the chapter I look forward to doing it that way

Any additional comments?

This entire series is just absolutely awesome thank you
