Rick Griffin has created a wonderful tale and Piers Ryman’s production of the audiobook was spectacular. The story follows Gert—an alien who looks a bit like a kangaroo—and how forces way beyond his control brought out the hero in him. His boss, Ateri, has decided to take a huge gamble that will either end in..
Rick Griffin creates a lush world of endearing characters captivating you from the start.
Pacing on point. This story hangs suspense and consequence in a great balance with progression and character development. Piers Ryman nails every character to a unique fitting voice. The story does a great job filling a universe with several different unique races, that for the most part, can’t even be in the same atmosphere of..
Review from Half a Soul →
I liked the narrators tone of voice. It suited the quirky premise. I liked the faerie crooked view of the english ton. Clever fun story. I hope the sequels will come out in audio.
If so, then look no further. I was invested with Kanti almost from the start, and I was worried about what would happen to him as the events began to unfold. As for the narrator; while I’m not confident in my own judgement on the performance of other people, I will say that all the..
Review from Skeleton Crew →
Overall rating: 4.5. Skeleton Crew has some of the best world building I’ve read, and it’s not a genre I normally read.

Review from Traitors, Thieves and Liars →
“This reader was provided a copy free of charge and has left this review voluntarily” Rick Griffin has created a eerily wonderful universe with (so far) no humans involved. Piers Ryman delivers up this universe on a god, not silver platter with excellent narration, voices and emotions. Mr. Griffin’s story-telling is flawless with good humor,..
Review from Skeleton Crew →
some books make you feel like you’re on the outside looking in. this brings you right into it. You are part of it. I alternately laughed, cried, suffered from anxiety, and enjoyed it very very much.everybody that reads this, I strongly urge you to follow along, and come to the next adventure!
Kanti Cycle was my introduction to the rich universe shared by Gre7G Luterman and Rick Griffin, and I don’t think it could have left a better first impression. I have read the book before enjoying the audiobook, and it loses nothing, and gains some surprises and clever foreshadowing on a second pass, especially with the..
Review from Skeleton Crew →
If you like deep worldbuilding, suspense, character development, and fluffy critters, Skeleton Crew will not disappoint you! I really enjoyed the Kanti Cycle trilogy, and Piers Ryman does a wonderful job of narrating this first installment in the series. I can tell great care was taken in portraying emotions in characters’ voices, and the overall..
