(Great) Serial Audio Book, not an Audio Drama

“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 into this story. The writing is so excellent and Xe really does do a marvelous job of crafting the characters with her narration. I would say this is the audiobook for people who don’t like audiobooks, lol. I changed my rating from 4 to 5 stars, and definitely recommend it. My old review follows…
Since a lot of Realm’s stuff is audio dramas, (especially having just come off of Derelict) I was disappointed at first. But eventually I got into it. I’m not usually a huge fan of audiobooks, the “he said,” “they said” wording always pulls me out of the story. That’s why I prefer audio dramas. I basically want to listen to something that fully immerses me in the story. As much as I enjoy reading, books read aloud don’t usually do that for me. I have to admit though that I have listened to a couple audiobooks I enjoyed that were written specifically for audio, where they minimize that type of phrasing. This definitely falls into that category. The voice actor does a great job delineating the voices, it’s well written, and an entertaining story. But if you are looking for an audio drama with a full cast and immersive soundscaping, this is not that. It is a series of two-part serialized audiobook stories with a larger overarching narrative arc. I have reached a point where I’m enjoying it and will continue to listen, but it took a while both to get into the story and get over the fact that it wasn’t what I was expecting.”

“A hostile magic mashup of X-FILES and DA VINCI CODE? I’m in!!! Some of my favorite writers are part of this, sorry I missed it during its original run on SerialBox/Realm but so grateful it’s available as a podcast now for my binging pleasure…”
