I think the readers did a good job. I enjoyed the Irish accent, though I don’t know enough to decide if it is authentic or not. Both readers sounded fine to me, though the female reader did not do well on the make Irish accent. Perhaps it would have been better to have just the male reader, but in truth, the woman doesn’t have that many lines to read in the Irishman’s accent anyway. It didn’t take away from my enjoyment.
I enjoyed the characters in this book and found the motivations for their mood and behavior more relatable and interesting than characters in the previous books. The jungle setting for this story provided a different theater for the main conflict which in turn made the book less predictable. The damaged & lost phone was, however, definitely a repeat from previous books.
This book avoided some of the things I did not care for in the other books, too much romance, larger than life know all super villains, protagonists who hate themselves or blame themselves for things obviously outside of their control. There was a bit of that last in the book, but it was dealt with in a helpful way and earlier in this book than in others. Finally, I liked hearing from characters in the preceding books. I wish I heard a little more about them, in fact.
