Story
Isaac Frost is an assassin. Raised in the Graveyard of the cruel and mysterious Undertaker, he has mastered the deadly art of the knife and the skill of survival, together with scores of others just like him—young men taken from their families to become the most infamous killers throughout the realms of elves and humans. But Isaac is unique: a single drop of another’s blood can confer upon him the knowledge and power of friend and foe alike.

Painful narration, slow story
Reviewed: 31-05-2024
Nowhere near as good as The Witch King or Murderbot. Painful to listen to the narrator’s various attempts at voices. Some nice moments between Maskelle and Rian, but the story was about 6-7 hours longer than it should have been.

Story
All Systems Red is the tense first science fiction adventure novella in Martha Wells' series The Murderbot Diaries. For fans of Westworld, Ex Machina, Ann Leckie's Imperial Raadch series, or Iain M. Banks' Culture novels. The main character is a deadly security droid that has bucked its restrictive programming and is balanced between contemplative self-discovery and an idle instinct to kill all humans.

Great narration, perfect fit for the voice of MurderBot. It had me laughing out loud a bunch of times. Great story too. Just sad the rest of the audiobooks in the series are the same shorter length but still cost one credit. I’d definitely carry on the series if it was cheaper.

Story
Victor and Eli started out as college roommates - brilliant, arrogant, lonely boys who recognised the same sharpness and ambition in one another. A shared research interest in adrenaline, near-death-experiences and seemingly supernatural events reveals an intriguing possibility: that under the right conditions, someone could develop extraordinary abilities. But when their thesis moves from the academic to the experimental, things go horribly wrong. They become EOs, ExtraOrdinaries, leaving a body in their wake and turning on each other.

Story
When Phoebe, goddess of the moon, is killed by the knights of the sun god, Hyperion, all who follow her are branded heretics. With Phoebe gone, the souls of the dead are no longer ferried to the underworld, and instead linger on as shades who feast on the blood of the living. Raef is a child of the night. He lives in the shadows, on scraps, eking out a meager existence as a thief. But when an ornate box is sequestered in the Temple of Hyperion, the chance of a big score proves too great to resist. What he finds within propels him on an odyssey across the sea and back again.

I love listening to Michael David Axtell talk. I’m so glad he narrated this new book of David R Slayton’s. Book was great too (although not quite as good as the Adam Binder series). Can’t wait for the next one.

The narrator did a much better job on the accents than the first book, although Elander is still a bit cringey. Great story. On to the next book in the series now.

Story
Mercenary Casia Greythorne cares about two things: completing whatever her latest job is and earning enough coin to buy the expensive medicine that's keeping her mentor alive. So when the king himself offers her a job, she can't resist the massive reward he offers - even if it means working with Captain Elander, the arrogant, mysterious right-hand to that king. Her partner may be infuriating, but at least their mission seems simple and quick enough: investigate the origins of the strange plague that's been ravaging their empire, help find a cure, and then call it a day.

It took a good three hours for me to care about anything at all, but after that I really enjoyed it. The performances were great, and matched the characters perfectly. Not sure if I’ll read the next in the series, but it was a good read - eventually.

The narrator was excellent, and the writing was good. I just couldn’t really care about the characters or what happened to them. It was also about six hours too long.
