All the characters she portrayed made them seem whinny and on the verge of throwing a tantrum. Her performance made all of the characters seem flat and 1 dimensional. She doesn't have the best voice to really convince me of the characters. Would you be willing to try another one of Tamara Marston’s performances? John Creedmore by far was well written, a character who I wanted to read more about. I have been wanting to read this book for a while, but will probably not listen to the second if she is the narrator. Her voice and tone did not match very well to the story itself. I did not enjoy the way the story was told from the perspective of Tamara Marston. Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not? And either side will do anything to understand how. In its rooms lies an old general of the Red Republic, a man whose shattered mind just may hold the secret to stopping the Gun and the Line. Liv Alverhyusen, a doctor of the new science of psychology, travels to the edge of the made world to a spiritually protected mental institution in order to study the minds of those broken by the Gun and the Line. To the west lies a vast, uncharted world, inhabited only by the legends of the immortal and powerful Hill People, who live at one with the earth and its elements. Now they're just a myth, a bedtime story parents tell their children, of hope. The only hope at stopping them has seemingly disappeared - the Red Republic that once battled the Gun and the Line, and almost won. What exists has been carved out amidst a war between two rival factions: the Line, paving the world with industry and claiming its residents as slaves and the Gun, a cult of terror and violence that cripples the population with fear. Here is a fantastical reimagining of the American West that draws its influence from steampunk, the American Western tradition, and magical realism.
