⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   production / 5 

🎤  NARRATED BY  🎤  Jason Clarke, Erin Mallon

Both narrators do a sterling job with the various characters. Erin has always created some great narration for both male and female characters. 

ARTICULATION  - clean and clear 
BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, low mouth noise.
DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. 
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate and effortless delivery.
CONSISTENT – high energy, good articulation, breath and pitch control.
ANALYSIS – understands the story arc and characters.
CHARACTERISATION – attempts to bring to life. Distinct and consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters. 
SEPARATION- clear and decisive for both performers.
INVESTMENT – the emotional connection helps with visualisation.

A quick read that doesn’t disappoint on plot. Loved how other characters from other series have been intertwined throughout. Would love to have found out more about Eric, but maybe this will come out in the next book. A great ear bud nibble for sure.
