If you want to start an audio series the voice actors were great and Daniel B. Greene has uploaded the first two books of this series onto his YouTube channel for free. So if you are thinking about the series I recommend you go have a look.
This was an interesting way to introduce an audience to this series. I think the world is really interesting as we are introduced into a society that is dystopian, steampunk and fantasy presented in a murder mystery novel. For the most part it was easy to follow along with the story though there were moments that felt murky when listening, like we are meant to know more about this world then what I had at the time. This could also be due to the pacing as I think the story takes place over a day and night. The characters were nothing special, actually the one character that caught my interest, Christy, wasn't introduced until the end of the book, and had me wishing we saw more of her.
I think the ending was a bit rough for me and what made me both like and dislike the book. I am assuming it made sense in the world and the ending felt a little unnecessary and bugged me a little, but I can see that there is a set up for ideas later in the series. I am interested to see how the second book goes as the audio is double the length and I think that is where we will hopefully start to get to the meat and bones of the world lore.
