A review by teenykins
A Matter of Time, Vol. 2 by Mary Calmes
4.0
2nd re-listen. Dropping to 4 stars from 5.
Both narration and story are a 3.5 stars rounding up and not down as I would want for reasons that will be stated below.
This series and its editing hasn't been Paul Morey's best work but for growly Sam Kage I can forgive alot.
I'm debating between a long, ranting review or just saying how TSTL was Jory at about 90% of the story and call it a day. Don't get me wrong, I own the audiobook since 2013 and the book since 2012. (I have lost counts the many times I've listened to it and/or read, despite it saying 2nd at the beginning of the review). The series was a comfort read but growing up and maturing as a reader I started noticing things that were just too unbelievable and the story started losing credit.
So here I am in 2021 amazed (not in a good way) with Jory and his unique ways (not a compliment) of dealing with everyone and everything. Sam really needed to do a lot more grovelling and not so much with the cave man but darn it all it's why we love him. Frankly the scenes together between Sam and Jory are the best thing in the story and everything else is a lot of daytime drama.
Truth be told I'm not sure I'll ever come back for a re-read because the story has already lost a lot of it's shine and I don't want for it to lose more since darn it all I love Sam and Jory!
