As part of me gradually going through the first 50 Main Range audios, I’ve come to where I started: with Eight.
Storm Warning hooked me when I first listened to it and this relisten worked as a wonder. The setting is cool, Eight and Charley are lovely practically instantly and all… or okay more like most, of the characters are enjoyable. Tamworth especially stood out to me on this listen, I just really love his arc and how he goes from a bit of an archetypal grumpy old war veteran character to a flawed but well-meaning man who knows the horrors of war all too well. Rathbone is a good slimy old villain who you just want to see… or rather hear, get his teeth kicked in. The Steward is also an enjoyable guy, even if he doesn’t feature that much. Frayling is the one weak link, he does matter to the plot but really doesn’t do much other than an out of nowhere heel turn by the climax.
The Triskele are an interesting species that gets a fine enough deep-dive that also serves as interesting commentary on free will. Unfortunately, the Uncreators seem a little one-dimensional and clearly the “evil” subgroup of the species that I wish were a bit more nuanced. Overall though, a really enjoyable and quite tragic story that is a great opening for McGann on audio. 8/10.
