like some of the negative reviews said, the audio lost its smoothness with the added extra effects. I listen to audio while driving so it can get hard to let the story fade into the background while focusing on my surroundings. like trying to split my attention between myself and my shadow clone…its jarring. that being said, the change of pace is by no means a deal breaker for a solid story that had me gripping the steering wheel and shouting at the characters as much as the drivers on the road. it’s a lot of fun and I’ll be getting the 4th audio book when it comes out. until then, my commute is going to be a bit lonely without a snarky purple VI and a goblin overlord. hail annihilator.
