![]() ![]() Soon after she activates it, things start getting weird, and then they get worse than weird. The story starts just before she activates it on the space station where she’s been working. There are multiple POV characters, but the main focus is on Yasira, a young autistic scientist who’s built a promising new engine thing that everybody is excited about. ![]() ![]() Then the next chapter would begin and I’d jump at how loud it was. As a chapter went on, the narration tended to get softer and/or more whispery, and I would find myself straining more to hear, or else I’d give in and turn up the volume. ![]() If I have any complaint in regard to the narration, it would be that the volume could be inconsistent. I imagine the print book has internal thoughts differentiated with italics or some such, but there weren’t always many clues in the actual words written, so it was really up to the narrator to convey that in the audio and she did well with it. I thought she did particularly well with somehow conveying to the reader when a character’s words were spoken out loud versus internally, which could have gotten confusing otherwise. I thought she fit well with the main character and did ok with maintaining consistent character voices for the secondary characters, although I thought she occasionally slipped in that regard. This was another one of my series-sampling audio listens, to see if I might want to pursue it in print someday. ![]()
