(This is the one about the weird time dilation and aliens on the mountain)

Thoughts for expanding later: annoyed, slow down audio, sort of disappointing but not too bad overall.

*expanded thoughts*

This was a little disappointing for me. It started out interesting enough, there was good suspense and tension although it was a bit of a slow beginning. I accidentally skipped the prologue because I thought it would just be more boring audio fodder that wasn’t part of the story and so didn’t care to hear dedications or explanations. But a few minutes into the first chapter I realized my mistake and went back to listen to it. That obviously helped give the first chapter the proper context, since it was in fact part of the story.

There was just something lacking about it though. I can’t quite put my finger on it …. the ending maybe? It seemed to beat and wrapped up. Kind of a cop out or lackluster ending I guess.

Since I read this one as an audiobook I will note that I had to slow down the speed a few times. The narrator spoke a bit too fast for me to keep up with what was going on since I was usually doing something else at the same time (driving, etc) and there was just a lot going on.

I did like one of the twists at the end (spoilers so I won’t say more than that) but even that didn’t pan out quite to my satisfaction. It kept my attention long enough for me to finish it, at least
