So I found this a bit lacking . . . I'm pretty sure it has EVERYTHING to do with the fact that I watched the Netflix TV show first and I REALLY enjoyed the show. The little nuances that were changed in the show - Lucien's race and gender, Rose and Unity's race, how the escaped nightmares/dreams appear/are described; the TV show did it better. This audio did have a bit more detail, and extra stories not in the show. This audio also makes the DC connection that Netflix was unable to do, I liked that. Overall, this was really good. I just actually liked the show better and will go ahead and listen to Act II and Act III before those seasons are released.
