The Sound: When I saw that this series was going to be narrated by Steve West, I requested it asap! Steve West is one of my all time favorite narrators! He just does such a fantastic job not only with inflections but bringing each character to life. I am never lost in the dialogue. I think his narration adds another layer to the story.

The premise of the series is that these aether storms came and basically wiped out most of the world — except for […]
The Sound: Similar to my thoughts on The Selection audio, I liked the narrator, I thought she suited America well. However, the different voies would blend The Story: Alright. I really enjoyed The Selection. I liked the world, I liked Maxon, I had no problems with America, I was eager for more! But ohhhh the triangle drove me absolutely NUTS in this one. The Selection has now been narrowed to the Elite — six final girls. What’s next?? Well. America literally waffles […]
