Settling down a bit. So able to follow

Listening to audio book on kobo. Not read in monotone as such. More each sentence seems to have the same tone and modulation. Lots of characters. Lots of tech details that make up this universe, not always in service of the action

2 for one deal

Two chapters in. Too much exposition. Too fast. Too much info being dumped.

Got to be a good writer when the build up before means the following sentence is a tear jerker. ‘I have the best friends’

Dogs will know not to trip a trip wire with a simple explanation.

Interesting story told as if to a dim person.

Book 2 finished 11 May
Luckily no one liked anyone just a little bit more than before this book.

I am settling into the story and the author is improving I think.

Maybe the writing. Maybe the narrator. But interesting events feel stilted.

It’s also annoying that people meet for the first time, exchanging a pleasantry and this making them like the other even more. Like when did the start lining the other? Before they met? When their eyes first met?

Too many characters introduced on page one.

Audible original ‘radio play’ based on the book.

This third book in the omnibus is also good. The second is the standout one, in my book. The first and third though are good stories.
