Third Eye

Loved this like Sibil likes $1 margarita nights. I laughed my ass off and cheered for Laurel. I hope Felicia Day writes more and soon.

A somewhat shameful (on my part) DNF. The story was fine, but a little uninvolving, probably because this is a basically a radio play rather than a book. Given this constraint, a lot of the scene-setting was left to the foley work and music, which, while ok, didn't really make up for the lack of show-don't-tell. I made it to around 60%, but then started to get distracted by other, better things in my TBR list.

This story odd worth listening to for the production value alone. Very well done. 

Laurel is a chosen one who fails to win the battle of the evil lord and now lives with the shame of failure when someone who believes in her comes along. 

I really like the way this story turns the chosen one trope on its head. It also challenges us to look at the expectations we have for ourselves in our lives and whether they are realistic. 

Overall, great production, fun humor, and good food for thought.
