A complementary audio was provide in exchange for an honest review.
I originally thought the story pacing was too slow, that there wasn’t enough action. The more I thought about I realized that the story progression was spot on. Sometimes too much it pushed into the beginning of a story to get the reader to understand the who, what, when, and that can be overwhelming. In this story I was able to breath and take in everything about these characters and what made them tick. I hope the next book (and the rest) give more action in defeating the “evil overlord.”
My interest in this audio was because of the narrator. The book tags did not tell me their would be an MM romance to this; I thought I was just going to get an interesting dystopian story narrated by a great narrator. Imagine my surprise to learn that Aidan is transgender (born female) and that he and Kevin have a romance! Loved them together.
I do wish there was a prequel to give more back story as to how the world, or at least the US, came to be the way it is. We are 100+ years in the future and the government is no more. Aidan, Kevin the rest of the Wildcards are tasked to fix things.
I would love to continue with this series because I really want to know how things end, and I want to see more of the rest of the gang.
Narration 5 stars
Story 4 stars (because I wanted more back story)
