Brilliant

Kate Reading had some big shoes to fill narrating this continuing part of the series and fill them she most certainly did, love this series Devon keeps you wanting more and Kate’s narration is brilliant can’t wait for the next part.

Good story nice idea to see what happen to Dan and Leah 7+ years later

Just for the first time for any audible book needed to listen at x1.25 to make Kate Reading sound normal as at x1 she talks slowly.

Before it happened!

A good read, for those who have followed the series. Readers are aware of the end of the series and are aware of the various life outcomes of our characters. So this series is a good background yarn to see how they got to their, ‘outcome’ and to revisit they’re lives and evolution post; After it Happened!
The audible performer was female which linked it well into Leah’s story. The story is very much like many of the others which propelled the characters to where they are. For me I didn’t want the original story to end, but it had to, for those characters. It would be interesting to to see what happens to the new generations after, After it happened..

Great story, wrong narrator.

Big fan of the first six audio books and with RC Bray narrating it really brought the characters to life for me, especially Leah.

Unfortunately with this book the story is there but the performance by the narrator isn’t. Not a slight against Kate, I actually really like her narrating in other titles I just think this story/character wasn’t for her.

If you’re a fan like me you’ll probably fight your way through books 7 and 8 to get to 9.

Catching up with characters from great series

I thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in this series and it's been great to get some further adventures of these characters.

Like the earlier books, this is no detective book with plot twists and guess work required, but rather a straight forward narration of the lives of the characters and the adventures they get themselves into. And that makes it really easy to get into for an Audio book, and just listen along.

RC Bray did the narration on the first 6 books (or 3 if your got the publishers packs), but as this is the "Leah Chronicles", i guess it would not make sense for this book to have a make voice. So the narration is good enough, but is not at the same level as Bray. Kate Reading (great last name for a narrator) has one slightly annoying habit of finishing sentences with an increasing pitch, but you have to learn to ignore this (if this type of thing annoys you, like it does me).

Overall a good listen. Now I want more please...

Great Book, another chapter in the continuing tail

This book is another great story, equally as good as the first few in the series. It took a little while to get used to the narrator but eventually I did.

Not a bad start to the spinoff

Probably was the right move switching to a female narrator for these books. Her male voices are sometimes comical but gets the job done. Theres still a few inconsistencies with the pronunciation of some phrases or terms. The pedant in me is always briefly removed from the scene once I pick up on one.
I like how we are hearing about the present (future) in the timeline, and hearing these as stories. Always wonder when we will reach the deaths of what were main characters

Ignore the comments regarding the narration

I being a numpty delayed listening to this book after the RC Bray narration of the 'Dan' chronicles.

I saw some mixed reviews.

Don't be a numpty like me, if you enjoyed the 'Dan' chronicles - don't miss out.

Kate's narration is fantastic, and the story continues as brilliantly as before.

Action packed adventure

This was a very enjoyable extension of "After It Happened''. I'm not sure about the suitability of the content for bedtime stories, but then, who am I to judge from my pre-apocalyptic position! Packed full of gun-slinging action (there's a huge amount of detail when it comes to weaponry in these books) and cliff hangers. The narrator is great too... nice to present Leah's story with a female narrator.

Great book BUT poorly narrated.

Really really REALLY wanted to like this book... I loved the first six books and was hooked on them instantly, this one, you can tell has been written with the same style, attention and humour but I just can’t get past the narrator. She is awful... why they didn’t stick with R.C BRAY like the last six I don’t know (just look at the feedback that was left for his performance in the reviews and reviews of other books he’s performed) or if he was busy perhaps go for someone like Toby Longworth? Pretty much anyone would do a better job. In the end I just couldn’t get past the narrator for all the good points in the book/story and had to return it. Utterly gutted as was really looking forward to this one.
