I Have Mixed Feelings About This One

3.5 out of 5 stars

I have very mixed feelings about this one at times it was super awesome and at other times it sort of dragged on. This was the first time I stepped into this genre and I think I will enjoy it and branch out significantly.

I loved the characters and the premise of the story there was no question about that. However, at times the explanation of the game itself and some of the attributes each character has really had me spacing out. Don’t get me wrong, I understand this is the start of a series and some explanation of the universe. The explanation of characters and things within the universe are needed and at most times it was appreciated there were just three or four times throughout the book that really had me wondering.

I really enjoyed the references to some very famous pop-culture television shows and one pop culture family especially.

Vikas Adam’s performance was wonderful and there is a lot to like about it. There are so many different male, female and monster voices throughout this book that it really added value to the listening experience. He did a fabulous job of speeding up and slowing down to get more attention to those tight of scenes as well uses a variety of tones that expressed different emotions in each character. He also does a really good robotic/computerized voice that we hear many times throughout this story and I think that is a real talent in itself.

I am moving forward and will pick up book two where hopefully, they touch more on some of the storylines I felt got a little bit lost within the main storylines of book one.
