The adventures are growing thin and very few characters are not despicable in one way or another (Jacky, get yourself under control; Jaime, you do not have the high road you think you have when it comes to philandering), but at least it seems like the adventures are winding down and we may be closing in on an eventual conclusion to this series. 
 I'm continuing with this series in spite of its shortcomings because Kathryn Kellgren is amazing and I want to listen to her all day, except that I worry about her throat/voice with all the dramatic yelling she does as Jacky Faber.
