DRUMINDOR was nothing like I expected it to be, but in all good ways. I should say "mostly" not what I expected, because the lore I had been looking forward to as seemingly assured by the title WAS there. There was just a whole lot more in addition.

This was my favorite Ryria anything, and I'm just about through a maiden run of all the books. However, a lot of why I loved it so much was because of the prior character development I already had on board. For that reason, I would say save it for a while vs. starting the series with it.
Little side thought: if you're familiar with Texas fishing towns like Rockport and Port O'Connor, this actually captures that vibe. Yes, really.

Relatable account of a "modern orphan," a kid left to fend for his/herself as a result of the opioid crisis.

I ran out of Tilky Wallace stories, so I followed my recommendations to CJ Archer's prolific writings. I wanted to like the story; but it was just too trite and underdeveloped.

Mr. Cooper does an incredible job of allowing listeners to join alongside him through some very hard thoughts. The relatability that results was encouraging and stirring. It helped me develop a new perspective on some really sad, scary thoughts, and I plan to keep listening to strengthen that.

Obviously I am a fan (or my 17-year-old daughter is) to be on book 3, as that brings my House Witch Hour Haul up to an impressive 678 hours or something like that...
I suspect the format is culpable for much of that because while I can and did work at a game or similar while listening, that would not have been an option if I had been reading. There is some great dialogesomething hard to do when reading the hardcopy.

I loved the character development, so much so that I felt like I had met the townspeople before.

I first fell for Stroud with his Lockwood & Co. series. I read the latest two of his works featuring Scarlett, as well as the 1st two in the Bartimaus series. Nothing has come close to Lockwoods characterization, sadly

Only after re-listening to bits over and over, does the change in narrators not bother me. Just wish it hadn't happened.
