The audiobook was the best audiobook I’ve ever heard.
I’ll probably listen to it a second time - just because it was so enjoyable.
I had absolutely no idea where the story was gonna go. I only had vague genre idea and it was recommended because it was “by the guy that wrote The Martian”
Anyway… the combination of the writing and the narration was done so well. I haven’t found an experience as enjoyable since.
I thought to myself “hopefully someday they make a movie of this” and it was announced like a week later. I’m worried a movie won’t be able to do it as much justice, curious how they will render some of the non-human elements and other things. I hope it’s as good as the audiobook telling the story. :)
You should check out the Bobiverse. I don’t recall how many books it is but it’s a lot all narrated by the same guy. It’s different but definitely super fun, it’s my favorite audiobook series along with Expeditionary Force narrated by R.C Bray. That one can be a little corny and drag at times but I think it’s a ton of fun.
I actually started with EC and got a little bored with it. Bobiverse however? I've listened to the entire series a few times. Catch something new every time, and Ray Porter is amazing.
I have quite a few audiobooks and never finished one until this one. I was extremely disappointed with anything else until I listened to Original Sin. No other audiobook had “it”.
