3.0

Ehhh I’m only going to write a quick review for this one as I don’t have much to say about it. It was simply fine and as I expected.

The production was immersive and enjoyable to listen to, with a full cast, music and audio effects it did feel like scenes out of the video games or movie. It was also easy to have on for a couple hours without feeling tired of heavy dialogue.

But the story was it’s weakest part. For the first half I barely even knew what the story was other than trying to find some coins. And while there was some intense moments, with action, deceit and plenty of accusations, overall it wasn’t anything spectacular. Also throughout and even now I’m still unsure of whether I liked the performances of the characters, the main character I found a little cringe from time to time mostly because of the way she spoke, and that’s coming from a fellow Londoner.

Nonetheless it was long enough to be worth a listen but short enough to not drag or annoy me, and hey I got it for free included with Audible so I can’t complain too much.
