This book is unlike any other audiobook I've ever read. It actually reminded me a lot of a podcast I helped put on an in-person event for because it was fully produced: music, sound effects, live acting, etc. I saw an interview with Felicia Day and the director, and they said that was the goal, to really make you feel like you're listening to a show or movie.
The cast is 🤌 immaculate. Neil Gaiman as the narrator?? Come on. Then you add Sean Astin (Samwell), London Hughes, Wil Wheaton, and of course Felicia Day, and it's just insane the level of voice talent on display. Not to mention the cameos which I had a hard time catching lol but still, so good.
I love the premise of the book and the magic world Felicia Day created here. I know it was her baby and it shows ❤️ my only tiny, tiny gripe is that the end confrontation and end reveal fell a bit flat for me after all the build up. But I guess that kind of fits the goal, right? Because she was a Chosen One who ended up being a Normal One, so it makes sense the ending would be the same? But I think the amount of effort and skill that went into every other aspect of this book makes it a 5 star read for me.
