Episode 43; Nevernight, Review

22/9/2017

 
Mia is a young girl of 10 when her life as she knows it is taken away. This leads her into the arms of a mysterious stranger with a cause and ultimately into full time education.

Unfortunately the academic establishment she joins is not a normal school but instead a church dedicated to the training of assassins.

Jay Kristoff creates a rich world that manages to feel both fresh and familiar and populates it with a rich array of characters that test Mia right to the very end.

Episode 40; The Butterfly Effect with Jon Ronson

13/9/2017

 
Writer Jon Ronson turns his investigative eye on the porn industry in this frank look at how one website changed countless lives without even meaning to.

The Butterfly effect comes into play throughout this examination but perhaps the most poignant thing to come out of the piece is the real people that are affected by the "freedom" of content in this  modern day 

​Please be aware this audiobook does contain mature content so it may not be for everyone.

Episode 39; Phasma: Star Wars: Star Wars, The Last Jedi, Review

8/9/2017

 
Deliah S. Dawson does the job I wish The Force Awakens was able to do and give the First Order a level of menace that you have to pay attention to.

Within the 12 hour running time of Phasma we get a glimpse at the person underneath the chrome armour and it certainly leaves an impact that I did not feel watching the film.

The story is narrated by January LaVoy and helps to give me greater hope that the Last Jedi will give us the villains we deserve.

Episode 38; Noumenon

8/9/2017

 
Travelling to the stars is a dream of many, however the reality of long space missions is one that has been dealt with in many forms. In Noumenon Marina J. Losetter brings her own thoughts to the struggle faced by humanity and comes up with a pearl of a tale.

Noumenon is about the actual experience of a civilisation travelling through space without knowing if they going to discover anything and in some cases not having had the opportunity to volunteer for the mission in the first place.

​The book is wonderfully well crafted and certainly worthy of your listening consideration.

Episode 37; Innocence

8/9/2017

 
Any tale by Roald Dahl is worth reading in my opinion, his ability to delight and disgust are second to none within the children literature category.

This book however is aimed a different audience but it still has the power to capture the imagination of adults. Whether it's through his autobiographical work or stories this book will run you through a mixture of emotions and show to everyone what a treasure Dahl was and still is to this day.
