    Update on season 2?
    Enjoyed this immensely and have recommended it to friends. It’s been a few years and it didn’t really end in a satisfying manner. Hoping the complete the story.

    Gets in own way
    An interesting but convoluted story concept that further distracts from itself with unnecessary transgender/pronoun nonsense.

    Couldn’t get into it
    I usually follow and enjoy anything Realm releases — but after listening to the first episode twice, then the second, I don’t know who anyone is, how they’re associated, or more than a vague idea what’s going on. It seems like an interesting setting, but I just couldn’t follow.

    Excellent story telling but…
    While the story is very entertaining and attention grabbing it is hard to follow at time due to some of the names of characters and homelands being hard to distinguish from one another. While some of the characters names you identify right away Chris JoJo or Levina others I really had to stop and think to figure out who was speaking.
