“The key to the joy of this podcast for me, is how well the main characters are drawn and their relationships with one another. I really came to care about them, in amongst increasingly bonkers scenarios. Series 5 feels like an end. I’ll miss them.”

“By far the best pod cast I have listened to on Realm+ by far. Xe Sands is a expert story teller and gives character life like no other. She has allowed me to drowned out a very long and boring commute.Xe Sands deserves 10 stars alone!
Max Gladstone (et al) have taken the time to flesh out...”Read full review »

“I have now listened to all five seasons and all I can say is, I want more!! While normally I’m not a fan of one person narration, the voice actor here has developed each character’s voice so that I know, without hearing the name, who is who. Great job and please don’t stop.”

“Now starting the third series and I cannot praise the writing and performance highly enough. This is everything the MCU should be but isn’t- and they do it with one actor and better CGI.
You have restored my faith in supernatural audio drama. Many thanks.”

“A great show, well written, even if now and again plausibility is stretched a bit. The characters are interesting and the story is very good. Thanks! I hope more is coming. I will be waiting for season 3
I just finished the last season. Thank you! This has been one of the most rewarding stories...”Read full review »

“I happen to listen to a lot of podcast, and I’m especially fond of long term stories, and I can say this is without a doubt one of the best to ever exist. I’ve been addicted since the first episode, the action is well done and engaging, and even more than that the characters development, history,...”Read full review »

“Well performed but poorly written. Been a while since I tried and gave up listening. From what I remember it had repetitive phrasing and poor grammar that ripped me out of the story - the story itself was interesting”

“I’ve listened to a good part of season 1 because I found the premise intriguing and enjoyed the various ways that magic is manifested in the world of this podcast. But after giving it a real chance, I’m not sure I’ll listen further. Overall, this feels like a missed chance to have a full-cast...”Read full review »

“Perry has really developed into my favorite character in this pod. As well as Liam! And Book Burners is my favorite podcast. Love the twist Perry’s character has taken! Don’t kill him off! He’s mysterious and adds so much!”

“The story’s premise is interesting and the first season started out great. The twist was predictable, but still good. But, good lord, season 2! 🤦♀️ Asanti falling deep into her obsession with magic is to be expected, but the new character of FRANCES IS SO ANNOYING! The character is one...”Read full review »

“So I have come to amend my review with a bit of a mea culpa. Although I was a little slow to get into Bookburners at first, just because I so prefer full cast audio dramas to what is essentially a longform audiobook, my review was perhaps lukewarm at best. I have to say I have now fallen heavily...”Read full review »

“I really like this podcast. But they use the word “said” too much. Someone asks a question, they “said”. Someone replies, they “said”. It’s too much and doesn’t flow properly. Other than that, I really do like it.”

“Engaging stories, with good world building and well drawn characters. The stories ratchet up the tension and introduce twists and turns as the series progresses. I’ve not found any time where I felt the plot was flagging. Really enjoyable. I’ve withheld a star only because of the *terrible*...”Read full review »

“Story is pretty good, but the writer(s) need to realize there are other ways to indicate who is speaking than ‘so and so said.’ It’s distracting at first, quickly moving to annoying, then to, ‘I wonder what else I could listen to?’ I said.
Questions can be changed to ‘Sal asked’ or ‘Sal...”Read full review »

“I love it! Great story, compelling characters, just one problem. It’s the same with GUNDOG: it’s in audiobook form. I listened to Bullet Catcher and didn’t mind the one narrator because there were sound effects. This is a great podcast, don’t get me wrong, but if you make a season 2, adding sound...”Read full review »

“Can’t handle how they finish every single sentence with he said, she said, sal said, menchu said, apple said banana said. Ugh. If your going to change your voice for each character, you really don’t need to end every 5 word sentence with “it said”. I had to stop at the end of the third episode.”
