This is a nice, easy popcorn read and I loved it. If you’ve ever played any of the Doom games, you should know not to really expect anything too deep from these novels, but that’s ok. It doesn’t need to be anything more than it is. Would recommend to anyone wanting to just read something without needing to worry too much about complex situations or deep lore. What you see is what you get.

If you’ve never read Ender’s Game, I certainly wouldn’t recommend this be your first experience of the story, but it’s definitely a fun listen. All of the voices are nicely distinct so you know who’s talking and the background sounds really help with the ambiance. My only real complaint is that there were some jarring transitions. Overall, worth snagging if you’ve got nothing better to listen to and just want something relatively mindless.

Every book in this series is just such a fun treat. It’s got to be commended for having very few unnecessary plot points in a genre filled with meandering nonsense. I’ve definitely lost the thread of what makes sense when it comes to power scaling, but just a joy to read. Seems like the serious is drawing to an end and I really hope they stick the landing!
