A mystery that will have you clawing for more!
May 15, 2025
Dawn of the Beast hooks the listener instantly. You get an immediate idea of the central mystery, as well as Cordia’s resilient personality as the commander. I appreciated that the story focused on a woman main character who is consistently framed as a strong and capable leader. The relationships between characters are very clear and realistic throughout the story as well. Makes you feel as though these characters really do have history with each other, especially in the case of Cordia and Quintus.
I also enjoy that you are able to shape Cordia’s backstory, motivations, and battle strategy with your choices. The idea of having to shout the battle chant louder to rally your forces felt nicely interactive as well.
That said, despite all the choices the listener makes along the journey, it appears that there is only one ending. This did feel a bit lackluster to me, since I was hoping to find out more about the mystery going on here in alternate paths. I also was hoping to see an ending where Cordia could fight, since it felt like that was what the whole story was leading up to.
Overall though, Dawn of the Beast was very engaging! The characters and their dynamics were a delight to read. The mystery had me hooked and I’d love to see a continuation of this story to discover more!
