A Snake's Life, Book 4

De: Kenneth Arant

Narrado por: B.J. Harrison

Love can make monsters of us all. Some monsters are just more dangerous than others….

Torga, the man once known as “The Devourer,” survived the destruction of his own universe by the skin of his teeth. Now he's faced with an even more terrifying ordeal: rebuilding that universe from scratch.

At least he's not alone this time around. He’s saved his dear wife, Reina, by granting her the unparalleled abilities of a goddess, but he’s also painted an enormous target on her back in the process. Now, beings from across the multiverse want to take her newfound power for themselves, and they'll do anything and everything to get it. Torga has more to lose than ever before. The very existence of their universe hangs in the balance....

It's time for The Devourer to bare his fangs once again.

A few notes

I love the story and the new narrator. Though I have a few minor complaints. I found the new narrater a bit jarring though that is to be expected. As for the story it was well thought out though I would like to see more of Torga in his god form. Other than that (in my unprofessional opinion) it’s a fine addition. I will be impatiently awaiting the next installment.

a real retcon and generally unrelated to the earlier books

this is strange to be honest. Its not just the changed VA. i feel like there was a ghost writer situation. the previous 3 books have almost nothing in common with this one. Torga's personality does a 180 and Reina stops passing the Bechdel test. The author doubles down on the system and leaves everything else behind and completely unresolved. this might have been a decent series on its own, but it doesnt fit at all as a follow up to book 3. what happened to Fenris? gone. what happened to Alicia? gone. and Torga doesn't care. its all just not the right follow up to what was there.

Good story

Once you get used to the new voice. Actually pretty good. Voice differentiation doesn’t quite kick in intill the end of the first run of the book but the second helps so much more and makes it easier to enjoy. Just so used to travis you gotta take the time to change over

Overall a good listen, just not what I was prepared for.

First off let me say I have both read and listened to all of the Snakes life series, I love all of them. This is however the first time I disliked the narration. Travis has always made it clear I. His voice Torgas mind set, he is a monster, he is a bad ass and he is gluttony. This other Narrator did not capture that at all. I hope that things follow this new thread though I wish some of the missing tidbits from the previous books would also be completed.

Lost the plot

I enjoyed books 1-3, the story, narrator and plot was top notch.
Book 4, lost me cause it felt like a completely different story, narrator although good, was flat and left me wanting. Could not tell the characters apart. I just couldn’t finish this one, sorry
