He’s depressed and unsure, and Mara is his anchor. Noah is a complex character with not only baggage but a gift that often feels more like a curse. We knew Mara was an unreliable narrator but wowzers. Threads left unexplored in the first trilogy are addressed, but new questions arise, and we see flashbacks of events from the first trilogy. Creepy characters, threats, and danger for them all kept me listening. The Becoming of Noah Shaw addresses many questions, delves into Noah’s Dad, gives us Noah’s perspective and shares some rather enlightening and freakish details about Mara. I was like, who are these people? I understand why the publishers went with a male narrator, but for the listener’s sake, I wish they had kept Romano. While I appreciated his accent for Noah, I loathed his voice for Mara, and it was jarring to hear these characters with a different voice after becoming used to Romano’s interpretation. The Becoming of Noah Shaw is narrated by new to me narrator, Joe Jameson. The Dyer trilogy was told from Mara’s perspective and brief perspectives of Noah. I listened to the first series on audio, narrated by Christy Romano, so I didn’t even hesitate to go that root this time. For me, there were a few threads, and questions like that ominous prophecy regarding Mara and Noah left unanswered so, I had to dive in. If you loved the way, the Mara Dyer trilogy ended and are in a happy place this series may upset that peace. I’ve come to learn that when it comes to Mara Dyer, nothing is ever at it seems. While it was well-written with twists and a killer ending, the change of narrators threw me. I thoroughly enjoyed the twisted Mara Dyer trilogy written by Michelle Hodkin and narrated by Christy Romano and couldn’t wait for The Becoming of Noah Shaw. The story that unfolded upends the listener as the story picks up after the ending of the Mara Dyer series.
