The Removed by Brandon Hobson

4.0

Solid storytelling, if a bit choppily pieced together. I listened to the audiobook and some of the male narrators read woefully without emotional inflection, so I had to rewind a few times when my ears glazed over from boredom. Interestingly, Hobson nails the story when told from Maria’s and Sonja’s perspectives, and I love how those characters are fully voiced. My rating of the story alone is 3/5 stars but it gets an extra star for the strong auntie narration.
