hi hi! it's nice to meet you as well, crystal!

it's a really good series! Admittedly a little slow at the beginning, but once it picks up, it really doesn't slow down until the end. I actually really want to give listening to it a try. i think i've heard good things about the audiobook??? (my memory is the worst, i might be wrong lol. Noah's not expanded on as much as the other characters (we hardly see his POV, it's kind of a shame :( ), but he's one of my favorites. cute smudgy kid. I'm excited about playing him

octopuses are #1. they're my favorite

i would say that you probably heard pretty positive things about the audiobook series. the narrator they chose is A+. he has a nice twang for an accent that really helps bring the setting to life, and while he doesn't do voices for people exactly, he still talks in v distinctive ways for each of the characters. i just really dug it so much. it was great listening to on my commutes.

that's a shame about noah tho! >:c trc has such a wicked awesome cast of characters that i'd wanna hear just as much from him as everybody else.

yes! that sounds about right! i remember reading that the narrator choice was really good! i might have to do some digging around and see if i can locate a copy.

yeah :( i mean, you still get a good sense of him and learn about who he is, but it's just... through all the other characters in the book for the most part. really a little more of his pov wouldn't have hurt anyone.

worst comes to worst, you rig the audible game like i did if you haven't signed up for it at all. they give you two free when you sign up, and then when you try to discontinue they give you like 3 months for half-off or something like that? and then you just do one full month, and then you cancel again and they're like BUT WAIT... and throw one more free one at you. the second you collect, unsubscribe.

basically, i barely paid anything at all to get the whole series + a couple other books.

yeah. i feel like tho even when you've got a number of perspectives on a character, you still miss out a little bit on something when you don't hear from the character themselves.
