About this listen
Benedict Aaron Rodney had a terrible life for eighteen years.
His parents died, leaving him with his Uncle Skippy Rodney. Skippy was a bust-out drunk who could barely take care of himself. After being given a child he didn't want, he took out the anger he had on the child.
If that wasn't enough for someone to deal with, things got worse for him. His one-time friends got tired of him, making him a target of their boredom and anger. This left the growing child with no safe haven—at school or home, someone was hurting him every day.
Then, something miraculous happened: the Heavens stepped in, granting him a Sphere. Spontaneous manifestation of a Sphere was very rare, but it happened on occasion. Benedict, while being beaten unconscious and having his bones broken, was suddenly the Holder of a Sphere of Regeneration.
A passerby broke up the attack on Benedict and got him whisked off to a clinic to see a Healer. The Healer not only found his newest injuries completely repaired, but also the long list of injuries Benedict had endured throughout his life. That examination turned up the fact that Benedict now had a Sphere and, as such, was bound for the Academy to learn how to deal with his new life.
He was shown around by Agatha, his psychiatrist. She'd help him learn the things that his school had never told him about Holders. It was also on his first day that he'd met Atropos Rosaria Foxglove, his roommate, who had her own problems.
He'd have to learn to coexist with a roommate who disliked him, all while trying to find his new place as a Holder of a Sphere. One of the few non-elite students, he would have an uphill climb. Benedict never backed down from a fight or pain, and he wasn't about to start now.

great
feels like the author is trying their hand at a path of ascension style story, focused more on the characters than the wider world. very good.

Not what I expected
So I don't know what I was expecting, but teenage high school rape drama where everyone talks like a therapist and the two main characters are just sooo... traumatized and broken. That's not what I was expecting.
I don't know what to feel about it. There's a little dungeon delving and a little personal growth, but most of the story is wallowing in self pity and coming to grips with the idea that maybe not everyone on the planet is a monster... but realising it very slowly.
What's slightly annoying is how every character parrots the same obvious "take your time", "consent is everything" like the author can't help but inject their own thoughts into the dialogue. It makes the spiritual progress of the characters feel infuriatingly slow and repetitive.
Look, I don't dislike the story. I might even get the next book. I like that there's some emphasis on characterisation. But there's good characterisation and there's getting lost in the details and missing the big picture. Or maybe this is just one massive exposition that cannot possibly remain relevant once it's over. There's just too much of the same thing for the details to make any difference later on. And if the characters grow from it, it's not like we're learning more about them with so much repetition of their present issues. I think this is a writing mistake rather than a stylistic issue, so hopefully the author improves on their vision.
The dialogue doesn't feel very realistic. Too many characters speak way too similarly. I love the voice acting, but people with vastly different backgrounds shouldn't use the same comforting phrases as each other. Or maybe they're emulating their therapist and I missed that detail.
Go in expecting this to be entirely about two characters putting themselves together one piece at a time after a traumatic childhood. Expect nothing else and you're good.
