Souls of the Never

Book One of the Tales of the Neverwar Series

De: CJ Rutherford

Narrado por: Katie Welburn

Something wants our world...and it’s coming through her to get it!

Katheryne, a kick-ass Irish heroine, and Derren, her dimension-hopping boyfriend, along with a ragged team of misfits, are pitted against the powers of darkness; powers that want to free magic – and their malevolent god – from its ancient prison.

The fate of two worlds lies in their hands, so cue time-travel. Cue epic battles. Cue re-runs of Friends…hey, even heroes have down time.

Souls of the Never will have you on the edge of your seat in the breakneck adventure through science and fantasy, where two worlds battle to save reality…and the Super Bowl final.

I found the story a little difficult to read. I'm used to reading romance and YA which focus on two different perspectives, alternating every 1-2 chapters, but we've got 4 or more here, and many of them seem to be minor characters we don't hear much from until later. The chapters are really short, which makes the frequent perspective change a bit more difficult to manage. The first half of the book is primarily background, and things don't really start moving until a kidnapping at the halfway mark. After that, I felt the story improved as everything starts coming together.

The narrator gives a bit of a quiet voice to the story. I like her character voices; perry and julia come to mind. I think she could have done a little more to help differentiate the different perspectives, though.

Worth the read...or listen.

The narrator was great, no annoying voices. The story was interesting, although the ending was a little depressing. I am intrigued to see how the next one will go.

Great narration, Story was fun.

Would you consider the audio edition of Souls of the Never to be better than the print version?

Yes, the print version would require guesswork of intonation at the beginning of the book when you're still figuring out the relationship between each character.

What did you like best about this story?

Focusing less on the physicality of romance, more on the big picture of beating the bad guys.

What does Katherine Welburn bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Inflection & Intonation from a girl named Katherine. The experience became much more real! Ms. Welbrn's reading makes sure you're engaged in the story. She has a good range of voices, and her talent of utilizing pace / tempo seems to improve throughout the book.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

One exceptional girl challenges the threats of evil that spans the realities

Any additional comments?

While I was a bit confused with the characters' relationships at the beginning, I eventually figured things out and enjoyed a great novel.
