The characters in this series are so well defined by the author, and so intimately portrayed by the narrator, it is like listening to the most talented actors, actresses and screenwriters imaginable. I absolutely love this series and love these characters. Some, like the construct Dross (freaking hilarious!), The Sylvan seed Little Blue (darling!) the old turtle (A funny hero), Mercy (sweet!) and Aethan Aurelius (The Ace in the hole!) are the most lovable, individual supporting characters that I’ve ever read. And let’s not forget our true heroes Linden and Yarin! the underdogs that everybody roots for. Between cheering them on and laughing hysterically, you’ll wish this series never comes to an end.
