The story feels new though maybe it’s because of the narrator gaps happen. It could be me, the action scenes are monotone. So while your mind raced as well as your heart. The story is given to you as if someone was telling you the weather as you stand outside.

I have books 4-6 which I’m currently listening to. Same monotonous delivery. Pity really because like I said the story is great. The idea of both magic and science existing together is awesome. Plus the aliens aren’t immediately humanoid. Was slightly confused once the main protagonist had then since the names were so plain sue. Tried to mentally explain that away because of the translator and spells. Which was dashed further in because the language is eventually learned.

Any who author Scott Baron please keep writing and creating. I will sadly have to move to solid media after this experience.
