I’m listening to The Last Dragon on Mars by Scott Reintgen which I’m just over half way through.
Side tangent, I just recently reactivated my library card after an embarrassing amount of time (couple decades?) of not using it. I CANNOT BELIEVE just how much content I got access to for absolutely no cost to me. The entire time I’ve been away from a library it feels like they’ve revolutionized access to literary media.
Anyway, The Last Dragon on Mars caught my eye as I was scanning the audiobooks on the library app so I jumped into it with no other expectations. It’s an okay Young Adult fiction that mashes Ender’s Game with the Harry Potter books. The world building is neat, and the pacing is good - it’s just kind of missing some extra edge to set it apart from other YA.
The narrator of the audiobook, Landon Woodson, is quite good and I love the spin he’s giving for each character. He’s really the main reason I’ve kept listening.
