I was a bit concerned, because the last couple of seasons didn't do much for me. But I felt this was an improvement. It was helped by not constantly focusing on Sarah, who was able to become part of the ensemble. Tatiana Maslany still nails all the voices, and even gets Delphine pretty spot-on.
So much clone nostalgia action. There's a couple new well written characters, and of course ethical quandaries to grapple. This takes place 8 years after the show, and I'm really pleased that Keira and Charlotte are active players.This is not an intro to clone club. Watch the show first.
Wasn't sure I'd like this audio book on Serial Box/REALM since I'd never seen the television series or read any of the comics. Surprise!! I really enjoyed it despite a few problems with the audio on my cellphone when I took my walk. This 'season' picks up and follows Sarah, Cosima & Dephine, Alison, Helene and the 'children' from the television series several years after the end of that show. It also introduces several new clones from a later 'batch' including a CIA operative and several younger...
Orphan Black: The Next Chapterby Malka Older, Madeline Ashby, Mishell Baker, Heli Kennedy, E.C. Myers, and Lindsay SmithPublisher: Serial BoxGenre: Mystery & Thrillers | Sci Fi & FantasyRelease Date: September 12, 2019OH MY GOODNESS!!!! This was insanely amazing!!!! It brought me right back into the series Orphan Black and it was so much better in print! I could hear each character in my mind, just like I was watching them on screen. I've missed this show!Orphan Black: The Next Chapter is set ab...
I've never had any interest in reading books based on my favorite shows or games but I would consider The Next Chapter a must-read for fans of Orphan Black. If you still haven't watched this incredible show, you are seriously missing out! It's such an exciting, funny, and sexy sci-fi series with stellar acting and so many twists and turns. Admittedly, I wasn't loving the last couple of seasons but I still think back on this show with so much love. And now, of course, I'm itching to rewatch it.I
This is an fascinating continuation that picks up some years after the conclusion of the television series. Orphan Black is one of a handful of tv shows that truly changed my life. The premise was so ambitious, but somehow the production team and actors managed to pull it off. In the time since I first saw the show, I have discovered a deep and abiding love for weird fiction with odd storylines. It changed the way I view media and gave me a willingness to suspend my disbelief just a little bit f...
LOVED this. It was so fun to revisit these characters in a different medium, and hearing Tatiana Maslany reprise the roles made it all the more special.
I have to admit, most of what makes this 5* is that Tatiana Maslany was the reader. So half about half the voices were absolutely cannon, and the other half were pretty much spot on.Having said that, it absolutely felt like a continuation of the series, with the same sorts of tension and humor and over the top crazy which goes with that. This is absolutely a must-listen for anyone who enjoyed the series (with the bonus of significant Canadian content).
This review will contain spoilers for the television series Orphan Black throughout, literally starting with the final episode, "To Right the Wrongs of Many". It's been more than two years and you're reading reviews of the sequel series, but I thought it fair to warn you anyway.One thing that I've loved about the finale of Orphan Black since I watched it two years ago, which was re-kindled as I re-watched it while listening to this series, is that the conspiracy storyline wraps up pretty much ha...
It's more Orphan Black, with Tatiana Maslany narrating! I was starting off as a fan, and it would have taken a pretty big misstep to keep me from loving this series.This audio sequel totally works as a continuation and expansion of the original story though. I'm curious to see where it goes in the second season.
I started listening to this now that they're releasing it in podcast form, but I got engaged in the story enough to subscribe to Realm so I could finish it without waiting for weekly releases.The eight-year time gap between the end of the series and this works to its advantage, particularly in how it lets Kira and Charlotte (now young adults) be actual characters. The time gap also lets the plot here stand on its own more (I'm glad I didn't need to remember the intricacies of the various faction...
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS. I didn't know how much I needed to revisit the Orphan Black world until I listened to this excellent audiobook. Tatiana Maslany narrating made this something really special, and it was like being reunited with old friends hearing her do Cosima, Allison, Helena, and Sarah's voices again. I am equally stunned (though I don't know why, given how talented she is) at her spot-on voice for Delphine, also for Bell, as well as the distinctive voices she donned for all the other
As an Orphan Black fan I was so happy to discover this. Definitely listen to Tatiana Maslany read this (the whole thing is available as a free podcast now). Good to reconnect with the original clones 8 years later - it makes perfect sense that Cosima's academic career would be affected by all the time spent on secret research and need to hide her identity. This matches the show in twists and turns and extreme science.
Thanks to NetGalley for this text version of the Serial Box audio series.This is the printed version of "Orphan Black: The Next Chapter" that has already been released as an audio series, narrated by Tatiana Maslany, by Serial Box. The story is excellent, a cozy and comfortable extension of the show that ended after five too-short seasons. All of the humor is carried over, and the cast is larger, with the kids taking on greater roles. Set several years after the show, Cosima has finished her Ph....
AMAZING. I missed Orphan Black so much, and this felt like a propper continuation.
Let me be clear THIS IS A MUST FOR ANY ORPHAN BLACK FAN! I was skeptical to learn that there was a continuation of the series, however when I heard it was read by the main actress, I figured I'd give it a shot. It was truly amazing. It takes place 8 years after the show ended. The title "The Next Chapter" is very fitting, as this felt like a new chapter, not a forced continuation. Could they do another book to follow up to this one? Yes. Do they need to? No. Do I want them to? HELL YES! This is
I was audibly excited when I heard that there was going to be a continuing story arc and that the audio would be narrated by Ms Maslany herself. The platform that was used for this retelling - set ten years after the closing events of the series, is a service called SerialBox which releases books one chapter at a time and makes us listeners wait excrutiating periods of time between chapters (ok so it was actually only a week in between but....) Luckily for you, all ten episodes have been release...
I actually didn't know that fiction audiobooks can have various voices and playful sound effects. Is that common? The listener is pampered by the many voices of Tatiana Maslany, and the quality is on par with the regular series. But it leaves the depiction of scenes to your imagination (the snowy one in the small city was best). This was my first fiction book in a long time and I dedicated an empty dark room to each of the listening sessions - when you need to imagine things it's no good to do s...
For fans of the TV series (watch it before reading this). Tatiana Maslany narrates and immediately picks up the voices of the clones. Tatiana does is also brilliant with the non-clone voices, especially Delphine and Felix. This story is 8 years after the TV series, set in Canada, a thriller, peoples lives are at risk and the outcome is life changing for the sestras. I missed these characters and wanted more even before finishing (the next book is available for pre-order). I'm not sure if it was
I had a little trouble jumping into this novel, which was maybe because I had to go through the adjustment process from a TV-formatted story, to the written form... or maybe because the newness of clones seems to have worn off a tad, but for whatever the reason it took a while before I got into it, but soon found myself completely engaged in the novel!In this Chapter, the clones have been outted to the press, and now must learn to deal with all the publicity... and their own infamous past!I coul...
