This is the first novella with the back stories of several the characters we meet in Odium and I’ll admit at first I was not sure I would like it as the first story we get is Crunch…..I so did not like her but…..after listening to her story…I’m not going to say I like her, but I will say I understand better why she was the person we ended up meeting. Another character I did not like a whole lot in the first book was Duncan, I thought he was a coward when we discovered what he did in Odium, but now I dislike him even more….ain’t karma grand….
It was very fascinating to get more insight to the characters and have a better understanding of them. In hearing the stories I ran the gamut of emotions, anger, frustration, humor, sadness…..it’s the sign of a well told story when you get so invested in the characters.
Now for the narration….it’s probably not fair as I listened to this shortly after finishing Odium II and had the voices that Jennifer Reilly in my head….and when Jack Wallen started reading it just sounded wrong. So that aside he did read the story well, and he has a good voice for narration…it was just very hard to hear such different voices for the characters.
Overall this was a great listen and a great addition to the Dead Saga Series, I look forward to the next novellas with the back stories of the characters we meet as the series progresses.
