This is an audiodrama, so there's a lot of accents, music, and sound effects, and it's incredible!
Back when it came out in 2022 I couldn't understand a thing, but now I'm more used to audiobooks and listenin to English and it's amazing!!!!
Not as good as Tempest Breaker imo, but still really good.

I really enjoyed that book at first, but then it started dragging on and on, and being too slow. It was mainly the characters waiting for things to happen.
I loved Rune, the Nightrender was nice, but Hanne I kind of hated?

Wow, I'm impressed by how amazing this audiodrama was!
Lourna's character development was insanely well written! And all the other characters were superbly written.
It 'read' like a perfect sequel of Phase III's main comic run, feeling like a perfect continuation.
I loved seeing Tey, and the connections with Phase II 🥹

Idk why but I nerver really managed to get attached to the characters from the comics (exept

Maru, but he's

dead sooo).
This story arc was nice, but I think I should've read it before reading Tears of the Nameless, because it just ended up spoiling much of it (at least everything regarding Boolan). I just felt like I already knew most of it
