Emperor Mollusk versus The Sinister Brain

Bit too predictable. Reminded me a lot of Master of Formalities

2.5 Narcissus are us.

This was about twice as much fun as it should have been.

Wait, I said that wrong. This was fun, but about twice as long as it should have been.

Okay.

BORED NOW!

I made it about one and a half hours into this audiobook. One and a half hours which was 95% same two characters arguing and 5% action. I'm sure all that arguing is supposed to be 'witty banter' but it's neither witty nor banter-y. It nothing more than one person (Zala) bickering and the other person (Mollusk) ignoring it in an arrogant way.

This may be a really short book, actually, but my life is just too short for this.

I don't know why I keep putting off reading A. Lee Martinez, I grabbed this one after Narrator Scott Aiello said it was his first and a favorite and described the process he went through to use the British accent for the part.

Scotts performance was great.
Martinez Book was fantasic,
