About this listen

Ah, Nyil, with its magic, its monsters, and its petty gods. A divine spat leaves French medic Viv stranded in the middle of an arcane disaster zone crawling with undead horrors. Thankfully, there are strange allies to be found, not least the mysterious interface that helps humans survive in this merciless world.

Viv will have to progress fast to survive this calamity and find civilisation. She will also need a bit of luck. Unless, of course, she becomes the calamity herself. After all, luck is such a fickle thing.

Great first entry to the series.

I quite enjoyed this book.

The world is VERY interesting and definitely the biggest selling point for the story in my opinion.

The female characters suffer a bit from "a dude poorly writing women" trope at times, but I don't think it's so bad as to detract from the overall story for me at least. Just a minor annoyance that will hopefully get better as the books continue.

Performance is top notch as always from the Soundbooth crew.

It is everything I could have hoped for and more.

I have been reading this story for years, and it still makes me laugh and cry multiple times per book everytime I do a reread. And so I was quite excited when I heard Soundbooth theatre were the one doing the audiobook adaptation. And I have to say they did a marvelous job, Laurie is amazing and is now in my head solidified as Vivianne's voice, she has the attitude and grit the character requires as well as the wonder and wimsy that the story demeands, all the character feel more alive now and Solfis is... I have no words, shivers come over me in a few scene through a single word, despite the dificulty of pulling it off, I can not recommand this story enough.
