A descriptive sci-fi page-turner, with some obvious cliches, and fantastic, clear narration adding life to each character.

All the typical quirks of a sci-fi novella, with a strong descriptive nature from Beth A. Freely, and warm voice narration by Dan Storm.

I identify as a young female adult who loves romance and sci-fi, but rarely have I ever ventured into a book or audio book which features both. I have listened to a couple of chapters from this audiobook so far, and can say I am enjoying it. Beth is good at keeping the listener/reader interested; wanting to know what is going to happen next with a good balance of speech and descriptive writing.

Though so far, I must admit that the more I listen, the more accurate I am in predicting what will happen next; but I wish to reiterate that I am enjoying this audio book. However, there is a sense of many cliches which I may be hasty upon, these could perhaps settle down as I listen further. And also, who doesn’t love a cliche?

Dan Storm provides clear narration, and is very capable in distinguishing different characters clearly through a range of different tones and pitches in his voice acting. I find it easy to listen to Dan’s voice as he reveals more about the characters, and can always clearly recognise who he is narrating. The accents are also clear and varied, proving Dan’s abilities to adapt to a wide range of roles within the story.

I would recommend this to young adults and sci-fi lovers. I am yet to approach any romance within this novel so can’t comment on this aspect.

To conclude, Beth and Dan appear to have worked very hard on this novel, and it’s definitely worth delving into for that sci-fi adventure fix!
