I don’t really have a lot to say about this one, honestly. I can certainly start by saying that I don’t rate it highly at all, which is probably obvious by the rating lol.

Essentially though, to get into the bulk of the issue I have with this story, it just seems like it’s trying to do yet another (decidedly unoriginal) take on this religion stuff which I highly dislike. They always come away with the most boring and message or some such, like “your God has actually been an alien this whole time”, or “your God doesn’t even exist”. I just feel like it’s such a basic, boring concept for a series that centres around an archaeologist? Like that’s very much just low-hanging fruit, but maybe I would be more courteous to it if it was doing something new.

Another thing that I found generally irritating about this audio was Keri, the Pakhar who I believe is appearing on audio for the first time here? I like the character in prose, but here she’s just incredibly annoying because of all the little vocal quirks and such. There is honestly so much chirruping and EEYUPs I can take before it starts to put my piss on a steady boil. 😭

I will say though that, as per usual, I do enjoy Benny and I do still stand by that Lisa Bowerman was pretty much the perfect casting for her. She literally just embodies the character so well, it’s crazy. I might lower the score later, depending how I feel, but yeah.
