Enemies of the State

I enjoyed this!

It's longer than I expected (my fault for not checking how long the audio was) but still a nice listen.

John Solo was good as usual. Not the greatest at accents, but I didn't really care. Jack and Ethan's relationship was sweet, as per all Tal Bauer's couplings so far. I did figure out the mystery, but that's fine too. It wasn't the kind of thing where you're like hello stop this person right here.

So why -0.25?

I didn't like some of the exposition vomits. The news clippings between chapters weren't great at first, because it just seemed like an easy info dump. Oh by the way this has just happened, we move now to our characters' reactions. I would have much preferred for the info to be shared in some other way.

The only time I liked the news clipping was
the press's reaction to Jack after the funeral. I would have liked to see Ethan's real time reaction too. As well as Ethan after being kidnapped. Like I wanted to follow Ethan after they took him. It seems like not much happened so we didn't miss much anyway.

Some of the other random conversations were interesting but a bit confusing at first. Was wondering who was who. Luckily it was all revealed at the end.

After the action winds down we have some sweet time with Ethan and Jack. Quite a bit of time too. Again, Tal does this a lot. Didn't super mind.

It's a really nice read.
