I honestly hated this version of the books until this book

tl;dr: this part is really good, so is the whole book; the sound effects and music have grown on me

LIGHT SPOILERS!

I listened to the original audiobooks for this series, probably like 12 times each, so I knew that this part was going to hit the hardest. When I first saw that they were making these dramatized versions I was super excited, especially for this part. However, I didn’t really care for the cast when I listened to year one of it, but by the time i got to book two it got better, and in this one I am starting to really like it. Particularly during the scene with Alex, Vince, and Sasha towards the end. I always really enjoyed the original performance of that scene, but hearing three distinct people talking made it feel more real. I will say, the VA for Alex did a particularly great job. The sound effects have also grown on me. I hated them in Year 1, but I think they really did add to my enjoynent in this part.

I really like the idea, execution could use work.

It isn’t as good as the original audiobook. I’ll start off there. The sound effects are nice but nothing special. They realllllyy overdo the voice effects, everyone sounds like they are in a giant empty concrete room, but not in an accurate way. Most of the voice actors are fine, some aren’t. Almost all of them feel like they are reading their lines for the first time, you can even hear the little pauses when they have to go down a line and it’s super distracting and makes the conversations feel unnatural.

They also cut out a lot, which I am fine with in this book but it makes me super worried about the next books in the series as those are way more action packed and it’d be cool to listen to all the fights with the sound effects and stuff (in particular I don’t think they will do all of the intermural fights well, and will probably cut a lot of them out). I kinda get why they did it, because a full cast is a lot, but also I don’t listen to audiobooks to just get part of the story.

I’ll probably end up listening to some of the future releases, but definitely not all of them.

Fantastic Narrator

Revisado: 10-27-19

Kyle McCarley is now my all time favorite narrator. He makes every characters voice feels so unique and distinct.
