Numenera - The Poison Eater by Shanna Germain
3.0
I picked up this book for free with the new Audible-inclusion-program. I didn't know the story was set in the world of an RPG before reading some of the reviews, and I wouldn't have noticed if no-one told me about it. This book easily stood on its own. It made me want to play the RPG, though.
The writing is good and the explanation of the world makes sense. It does a good job of giving the informaton needed and nothing more, leaving the reader wondering and wanting more.
The story was a little slow, but the world-building and character-arcs were interesting enough to keep me listening.
I'm not sure I'll be picking up book 2, as it's not part of the inclusion-program, but I don't feel like I'm missing out. Sure, this book had an open ending-ish, but it also felt like it finished what it set out to do.
