Okay story, bad narration.

Basically what's there in the title. If you like comics, you'll probably enjoy the story. it's pretty typical, with plenty of recognizable archetypes and a decently grounded gateway character. Unfortunately, it's probably better to read it than listen to it. Even sped up to 1.3x speed the narration is slow, and devoid of any natural intonation or acting. I'd recommend reading it rather than listening to it.

The writing was great, but the narrator was absolutely fantastic and really made the entire story come alive. Great acting and characterization.

Very different from the movie but still quite enjoyable. My only complaint is about the audio book quality. The volume needs to be normalized. It swings from very hushed to super loud so you're turning up the volume to hear it one second and then bleeding from the ears the next.

Gregg Taylor is the best superhero fiction writer I've encountered in my exploration of the genre. As a comic and superhero fan for the last thirty years I've yet to encounter anyone who so perfectly writes and characterizes their heroes the way he does.

You'll get more out of this book if you listen to his Red Panda audio drama series, but even as a standalone this book is a 10 out of 10.

Split perspective books aren't really my thing, and this one took a long time to pay off, but it was satisfying when it finally did. The narrator was okay.

The narrator fits the main character very well, but her constant pauses part way through sentences and phrases makes this an extremely frustrating listen at times until you get used to the rhythm.

The story and book itself, however, are great. The author's descriptions are especially vivid, and the worldbuilding was great. I'd say it's comparable to the Witcher series.

Definitely the first part of a longer tale. The book leaves a lot unresolved, which is hopefully addressed in the rest of the series. All said, the characters are fun, the romance is cute even if a little drawn out and self inflicted drama can be hard to sympathize with. All told, still an enjoyable listen. The narrator was phenomenal.

I saw some reviews that critiqued the narration, but I disagree with them. The narrator was great, the voices were distinct.

The story was long, and in the middle there it got to be a bit cumbersome trying to figure out how it connected or care about all these different characters, but it all ties together well at the end.
