I downloaded and assembled the mp3s into a one long audiobook, uploaded onto my player. Yes, the first handful of chapters hooked me. I enjoyed the character of Topper up until his characterization flared up into a supremely annoying Mel Blanc impersonation. Jar-Jar’s long lost brother.

I almost threw in the towel during the “Empress” scenes, which devolved the story from a clever superhero mockumentary into a Hee-Haw sketch/satire. I hung in there thanks in part to the Excelsior plotlines.

This chapter has now officially made me decide that I will finish listening because I’m halfway done and that’s all. I will play this in the background while I finish busy work. This is somewhat disappointing because I religiously listened to “The Seanachai.”

I will, however, give Unkillable a fresh chance when I start that one.

Love the book, but this chapter kinda lost me. Edwin totally blew it with Barry, and the realator dude has every right to be mad, but Edwin is just sitting there like some kind of sociopath. I like Edwin because he’s smarter than everyone else. He comes off like a creep in this chapter, and Agnes comes off like a goofy henchmen. If she’s going to bust out the weaponry, this seems like such a petty time for her gloves to come off. It’s hard to keep liking them.

It’s only because the characters are so strongly realized in other chapters, both ruthless yet charming, that this chapter didn’t vibe right with me.

You’re right. I want to send Agnes flowers. The bit about Edwin and sympathy also made me smile.
