    The Bobiverse audio books are awesome, not in small part because of the narrator.

      They really are. For me they’re the books by which all others are measured.

      I’m somewhat unsettled by book 4, heaven’s river. I think the interesting concepts of the premise have been more or less exhausted in the first 3 books. I suspect that anything coming after will be more or less “things happening in that universe” rather than investigating that universe.

      I don’t begrudge an author continuing a series - it’s guaranteed success after all. But in the ideal sense it would’ve been nice if the first three books had have stood alone.

        I totally agree with this. Bobiverse series is in my top 3. Book 4 was a bit of a let down for me as well.

      I haven’t yet heard a Ray Porter narration I didn’t love.
