These audio dramas are getting better and better, I think, although they haven’t quite figured out how to get the writing down. For all of the excitement and surprisingly effective character moments, the exposition is often clunky, which often means the vocal performances are stiff, as a result. Once things get moving, though, this is a fast-paced listen with moments that are probably amongst the best in this phase of The High Republic. Which is good because it’s felt a bit sluggish up to this point, and I’m glad to have the motivation to see it through.
