Weapon of Choice - 7/10
I'm not grabbed yet, but I am intrigued.
I'm a big fan of these types of sci-fi or fantasy political dramas, so already got me on that front, and I think that it's done really well here. The idea of a 'rubbish bin' of all unlicensed time travelers is a fun setting, it's a bit of a shame they don't do more with it, but it's not really the focus of the story so it makes sense.
The opening 10 minutes especially is a great hook into the rest of the story, and it's nice that they give that sort of opening that works well regardless of any prior knowledge of characters or setting.
That said, that's the main complaint I have so far, the characters all seem interesting, this is my first real Brax story and he's great here, but it just sort of puts you into the middle of things on this one without you getting as much of a chance to know the characters and I'd hope for. Granted with the inquest into Romana II coming up I'm sure that's something the rest of the stories do, and they likely just wanted something a bit more thrilling to hook people in, which makes sense.
The ending also leaves a few different plot threads open which all intrigue me, and I can't wait to listen to the rest!
