The Nox

Nice things first - the voice acting, music and soundscape is really good, but I wouldn't expect it any other way from an audible original. (Would be quite embarassing if that was bad)However the story was... not what I was promised through the trailer. I had been listening to the trailer a few times on Alexa before finally listening to this on audible and judging by the trailer I was expecting some kinda horror sci-fi thriller, but it was... midly scary at best? Very mildly.The story starts slow and almost boring, had to force myself to not turn it off.Then, it gets almost exciting for one chapter, but soon after it becomes quite boring again and very predictable. I could already guess the outcome when the story hadn't even reached halftime. I kept it on while doing other stuff, half listening and wasn't surprised I was right with my assumption on how it'd all end.Disappointing overall. But great cast and technically flawless. Just the plot was a complete letdown.

What i found in this audiobook was much more than an arctic horror story, but instead a terrifying vision of a time where the pollution of nature has made it outgrow us. We are trapped, looking desperately for hope, and by the end perhaps we may just have found it. An exploration of grief, family, and the price of survival, I thoroughly enjoyed this.

There's a really good story here, co-written by the fantastic Catriona Ward and Joe White. I've read a couple of books by Ward already, and that drew me to this audiobook.Performed well by a full cast, this story keeps you wondering where the plot will take you, with enough twists to make you dizzy.a recommended listen.

I was looking for a new read with the nights drawing in.I wasn’t sure I was going to like it as not my usual read. But the cast drew me to it.Highly recommend, once you get into it you need to know how it ends. I hope this is the first of many,
