Lena Hendrix is a great writer. Sebastian York is the best male narrator. Charlotte North is a horrible narrator and ruins another book.

but Andi Arnt, female narrator, not so much. She does not narrate well at all. Her emotions are flat when reading. Too bad.

Stories were out dated. Not cool or hip. Shallow characters and weak plots. Abridged stories with missing gaps in timelines.

This author just wrote her last book - as far as I am concerned. Characterization makes absolutely NO SENSE. Is the female lead, Sloan, confident and bold or beaten down and afraid? Yah. CJ Bloom sounds like a 40 year old from the 1950's trying to sound cool, current and 28. She failed. They both failed. Done with this series and this writer.

Female narrator Charlotte North is terrible. She reads with absolutely no emotion. She places an emphasis on the wrong words. Her narration basically ruins the book for me. I will no longer purchase an audible book where she is listed as narrator.

I could not even make it through the first few chapters. I do not like virtual voice narration.

I can not believe Vi wrote this. It is a terrible waste of time. Please do not waste YOUR time, money or credit on this one.

After spending so much time on this Cascadia Series, the ending/payoff was disappointing. Is this the last book in this series? Was it really necessary to continue this series after book 2? Or even after book 3? End of the World narrated by a favorite was my 1st draw into this writer and genre. The City Series is my absolute favorite series! I re-read the City series 2 or 3 times a year. And it also introduced me to Therese Plummer, narrator extraordinaire. From book 1 of Cascadia series I could barely get through it. Story and characterization were spotty - sometimes highly focused and then we just pop out somewhere else with little to no explanation. Completely ff past chapters read by "Craig" - cringe-worthy, but not in a good way. IF there is another book written in this series, I am not going to waste my time or credit. Please go back to 1 or 2 GOOD narrators with story lines similar to EOW and the City series.
