Sometimes Death is Better!
Set in 2163, cryonics has finally achieved some success. The question is, will the frozen man named George come to terms with the medical and personal side of being frozen for 150 years? Everyone he knows, loved, all gone.
Thaw was written and narrated by A.C. Kabukuru. Overall, the story is well written. Strong character building along with solid world-building. The author did a great job making me care about every character in this story. The only downside is that sometimes the narrative went on too much of a tangent about a character's past.
The author also narrated this book. Unfortunately, the author's narration skills aren't as good as her writing skills. There was no consistency in character distinction which led to confusion when there were multiple characters talking. Also, it was quite apparent when the author was starting a fresh recording and when she was getting tired. Overall consistency is the main area of improvement.
Editing, quality, and production were well below par with most books I have listened to. Sound and quality were inconsistent throughout. Part of chapter six is missing. On top of that, there was a continuous static sound in the background.
