This is THE story

I’m ashamed I never wrote a review on this before and I guess I hadn’t realized it either. I’ve been telling anyone, everyone, who would listen that they need to hear this story. I felt the tone shifts between acts, experienced the emotional spectrum, and journeyed in my mind to this amazing world-space every time I clicked the play button. Leah you are truly a gifted writer and to do all that while managing a family is astounding. I cannot wait for the next story waiting to come to us.

R U Dreaming? ,

YOU MUST LISTEN TO THIS, YOU MUST!!!! :D :D

I am so incredibly blown away with Leah’s masterful writing and her wildly phenomenal ability to voice act - each character has a unique voice that truly brings their character to life, my favorite being Henrietta, you can’t even hear Leah in there at all, it blows me away! She crushes all the voices and nails their accents! Production value is top notch, also. She tastefully adds sound effects and sound design that help draw you deeper into the story. The story itself has had me hooked the entire way through! The characters are so relatable and developed so incredibly well. There are only two episodes left at the moment I am writing this and I am sooo utterly bummed the 8 months this has been a part of my life are almost over and at the same time, I have actually no idea how this is truly about to end!! There’s so much at stake and was quite the plot twist right here at the end I did not see coming at all and I’m right at the edge of my seat praying to God Porter can figure it out LOL. She weaves the two timelines together so beautifully and each world is carefully developed and she brings you right into their world. Elga’s whole character arc was so devastating, boy did she crush writing and voice acting that character, wow :O I could seriously continue on and on about how well crafted every aspect of this podcast has been done. You just literally need to listen to it for yourself! Oh, and the credit music never tires, I sing along every time haha. Thank you Leah! All those publisher’s loss, has been our deepest gain, what a masterpiece!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You should be very very proud of what you have created!

Edwah1 ,

Stunningly brilliant.

So far this is the most captivating story I have ever heard. The author brings you into the world of Innis as if one was there in person seeing the story play out.
