Succeeds massively in terms of character, but, sadly, falls rather short in regard to actual narrative. Wish it didn’t feel the need to have one at all, really. Would’ve felt more cohesive. Like I said, the character work here felt rewarding enough. Aldred's narration in the audiobook is remarkably professional. Don't personally like the approach myself, kind of dry to me. Loved her character voices, though. TheTruestRassilonian View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG. Rating24 members 3.58 / 5 The Time Scales AVG.

Not for any stupid exam, but because of the fact that two substances could change into something else entirely when you put them together fascinated her. Everything in the whole universe, she discovered, was made up of tiny, tiny particles: atoms and molecules. Just little dots. When you broke everything down to its basic components, there was really not much there except space. That made her feel safe, somehow. — Ace, Chemistry
