À propos de cet audio
With her new product line launched and an updated version of her suit to test, Tori Rivas is ready to focus on her work for a while. But when an eruption of power elsewhere in the multiverse sends monsters bursting into her world, the young villain will find herself in the crosshairs of an unexpected invader.
As if being pursued by an unknown entity from outside her own reality wasn't enough to handle, there's also developing her product line, exploring her suit's new capabilities, and maybe even making some extra money on the side. Add in extradimensional monsters popping in without warning, and Ridge City is even more chaotic than usual.
Yet more danger lurks unseen, as the Rookstone escapees have begun to hatch their own schemes. One of which is a primal force whose goal cannot be denied. No matter what, or who, stands in his way.

The story maybe jumped around too much, I think it might be time to refocus the story on fewer characters and going for more depth.
I'd rather see how our main character interacts with other villains even if it's slice of life rather than see yet another section of the science sentries training with their terrible mentor, we get it he is or his powers made him a narcissistic sociopath who creates child soldiers, not much morally grey here, that got old very quick. Those characters aren't really why I want to keep reading, they get a little too much page time. The heroes stories boil down to angst and indecision every time we see their p.o.v. you hooked me with the villains, and villain pov now you're delivering just another cape story. The old bait and switch.
Whereas Cliche has a solid arc of her own it feels like the current cybergeek and science sentries team sections feel a little too much like inconsequential padding and retread.
I still enjoy the world the author has setup, but I would like a bit more of a focused story. Sometimes it feels like the author can't commit to writing a villains story and strays back to writing about heroes randomly for little reason, those sections rarely have a pay off. Tori feels less and less like our main character as her agency in most the story is absent.
The constant flirting with the idea of switching everyone to heroic side doesn't make me hopeful for the rest of the series. Great heroes are defined by their greatest villains and vice versa, a story about everyone getting along isn't really a story at all.
Probably the weakest book in the series. I put it at a 3.5, could be a 3 or a 4 depending how you feel about the prose. There are sections that really drag and are slow to read.
The narrator performance goes into robotic mode every once in awhile. She also runs over some names and words from time to time going at a speed her pronunciation can't keep up with. The character voices and cadence aren't great but not the worst. The performance was maybe a little uneven this time around.
Jumps around a lot.
