I like this take on the apocalypse

Revisado: 03-06-21

This is a great take on a post-apocalyptic world, in this case, Wales and the people and creatures who inhabit it. I thought this was awesome as I have friends who emigrated from Wales and it was pretty cool using that as the backdrop. I like that even though this is the second in the series, you can hear the story and not feel like you're thrust into the middle of something already in progress. I think I may check out part 1 and take that for a read and see what that was like. I love having the protagonist being a woman, a strong one, who has real human needs and thoughts, though sometimes they are a bit different for her. As you learn more about her, that comment will make more sense. I like the overall ideas and concepts presented in the story, but there was one major hurdle for me. I don't want to blame the narrator directly as it may be the software or hardware being used, but large portions of the story we lost to me simply because I couldn't hear most of it. Whole chapters or parts of the dialogue were unable to be heard unless you put the volume all the way up, making the rest of the parts of those chapters and dialogues way too loud. I hope this is something that can be fixed as this really held me back from enjoying the story, having to constantly play with the volume and rewinding to try to get what was happening or being said. The narrator also had a habit of gently whispering men's voices which added to this issue. She has a nice voice and emotes fine, but I was missing too much of what was being said and happening. Frustration took over eventually, and I stopped playing with the volume and rewinding my way through and just kept slogging to the end.

Full Disclosure, I received a free copy of this audiobook for review from the author.
