Metamor City Review

Metamor City:
This is an exciting podcast that blends two of the largest genres together. That's Science Fiction and Fantasy as the idea of Metamor City takes a pure fantasy world (In this case Metamor Keep, but for an example think something like Lord Of the Rings) and brings it into the twenty-first century. I thought the idea was risky at best when I first heard about, but Chris Lester (series creator) has a large fan base that is growing steadily.

The stories are engaging and very impressive. Many of the characters have problems you can identify with, even though they are people you can't identify with. A Psionic Guy is have girl problems, OK I can identify with that, but add the extra layer that it's because he is part of a collective and his powers are "too weak to let him and her start a breeding cell." That just makes your brain spin haywire!

The Podcast started its run with Six short stories and then started running its first novel, Making the Cut, in its eighth episode (you can listen to the Making the Cut's promo here)

You should definitely look into listening to this it is a very, very good production and you will get a story that will keep you coming back for more.

EDIT: I give this Podcast 4 out of 5 Stars

See you guys in a while,
