Listened to this for free via Serialbox app. Was really a silly, fun, quick story. Just when I thought it was getting going, it ended abruptly with a really good laugh.
This was my first experience with a Serial Box original story. I thought this one was a bit all over the place and it felt too much like it was written by different people, which of course it was, but in a way that felt like they all took it in a different direction just because? I don't know.I chose this story because I have books by all of the authors on my TBR, and thought it would be a nice introduction to their writing. I was wrong but I won't hold that against them, they are still in my TB...
This is an odd little book. Little because its only 9 chapters of 10 to 12 min. each in narrated length, so roughly an hour and half listening time. And odd because each chapter is written by a different author! I listened because Mary Robinette Kowal (whom I Adore!) wrote chapter 8.The only other book that I've ever read that was written this way was a story called Prep for Doom (which was awesome, I might add), but that's where the similarity ends!

No. It's like each author was trying to trip up the next author, which I'm sure was lots of fun to write, but is not lots of fun to read. It's just too much of a disjointed jumble.
I wanted more of the Major, but I was NOT expecting that ending.I love the concept of authors passing a story around, seeing where the person before you takes things and just running with it. Embodied is like that - and so is The Exquisite Corpse, if you're checking Realm for short and interesting reads or listens.We lost sight of our original objective by the end, but we did accomplish something. Though we only get conclusions for two out of five of the main players. And no real explanation of
The first 4 chapters were really intriguing! Then it went in a direction I didn't expect. It was short and unexpectedly funny, I guess. I liked certain authors and chapters better than others and wasn't surprised by my preferences! I also did not think Leslie Murphy was a guy.
Some interesting elements (downloading a consciousness into an android body, sharing space in the same body with another, finding “work in the off-world colonies”, dastardly plots, and cats). The plot moves along quickly, but there were chapters that left me a little confused. I felt like several plot elements were introduced, then not all paid off. Not sure if this is because much more story is to come at some later date. Anyway, a quick read with some possibility.
