I really wanted to like this. I really did. The backstory of Lourna Dee sounds like it should be a cool story. And at times it is. But it's let down by two main things: there's some really terrible voice acting (like really wooden performances) and at the end of the story Lourna is, fundamentally, exactly where she was at the start of the story. I'm not entirely sure it was worth the listen, tbh. Maybe for the next audio drama, I'll just read the script instead.
