Review of The Eleven by maxy0419

This review contains spoilers!

Finally getting around to doing reviews of all the Doom Coalition audios that I've been going through recently, on a big marathon. I skipped Dark Eyes for reasons I won't get into here (I think it's a huge bore), but regardless.

This will now be me trying to recall my scattered thoughts and what I thought of these stories, as I took a few months' break between the second and third boxsets. Anyway, time to begin.

First of all, I do think that The Eleven is a very good opener for the series as a whole. It sets up what the main premise is obviously going to be about, and who the primary villain of the series will be, although I do think there's barely much of a plot to it. There's fun side characters, who annoyingly get killed off, but it doesn't have a lot of meat to it. Instead, we're introduced to Padrac who becomes much more prominent later on, and of course, the Eleven. Mark Bonnar gives his all in every performance of this character, and it is thoroughly entertaining to hear, to be honest.

In comparison to the likes of Their Finest Hour, the opening story of the Ravenous series, this one is much more successful in introducing us to the recurring cast of the series. I'd give it a solid 7/10.
