(Rated: +3, Good) Skybreaker written by Kenneth Oppel and produced by Full Cast Audio. My mini review is below the fold …
Oppel really hits his stride in his follow up to Airborn. The story is more compelling, the action more harrowing, the stakes considerably higher. Oppel still makes it pretty obvious what elements of the story will be used for later on, but even with its occasional predictability the story is quite fun. Full Cast Audio does a great job again, adding more incidental music than in their production of Airborn. It might not be what FCA does, but some minor sound effects would fit well too. Matt’s character is occasionally a little over acted—at times too earnest, at times too whiny. Kate’s voice actor was replaced for this production, which took some getting used to. My only complaint is that the story ends about two pages too soon, and we never get to hear the reactions of certain main characters’s to the final development. Oh, and google turned up this photo album of the production.
