It was good, but at the same time I am kind of sad. I have relistened to The Others SO MANY times. This one, nah, I will not relisten.

It was sort of confusion in the beginning, so many people. Like what is Wyrd and these people? Maybe it would have been better to follow only Beth a bit first.

I would also like some more history. So Wyrd is there, people are getting riled up now, ok, this is modern times, pretty sure a certain country would just have invaded and bombed Wyrd by now. Has that happened before? And since people are getting angry I guess it will.

I honestly feel like I cant say much because you have to listen or read it to feel it.

It got better after some time, when all those randos had their stories told and I started to connect the dots. It is an interesting world. I like how Wyrd saves people who needs it, and punishes aholes.

Good narration

Words have power. Intentions matter.

Most people come to Destiny Park for entertainment. They come to have their cards read to tell them a bit about their future. They come to walk through a beautiful park and to eat at the hotel’s restaurant. They come in the hope of catching a glimpse of the Arcana, the paranormal beings who rule the Isle of Wyrd.

But some people come to make a bargain with the Arcana—to change their fate. And some people come for dark purposes.

When Detective Beth Fahey is sent to Destiny Park to inquire about a “ghost gun,” she will begin a strange journey on which she must learn to navigate the Arcana’s unforgiving laws and dangerous attractions. Her search will draw her into seemingly impossible cases and the secrets of her own past as tensions rise between the Arcana and their human neighbors across the river.

For the Isle of Wyrd is a place where the dead ride trains to their final destinations, predators literally become prey, and seekers’ true natures are revealed in the ripples of destiny unknowingly stirred in their wakes.

Who will live? Who will die? And who will be lost in between?
