Dark One Forgotten
Background
“Dark One: Forgotten” is a six-part audio drama set in the universe of Brandon Sanderson’s “Dark One” series. Developed in collaboration with author Dan Wells, this production is presented in the style of a true-crime podcast. The narrative follows journalist Christina Walsh as she investigates the mysterious disappearance of renowned violinist Leona McPherson, who vanished after a concert at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. Strangely, all memories of Leona seem to have been erased from the minds of those who knew her, including her own mother. As Christina delves deeper, she uncovers a series of similar cases, leading her on a cross-country journey filled with supernatural elements.

My Thoughts
This was difficult to listen to for me. I had a hard time relating to the characters and I never knew where the narrative was going. There were some glaring plot holes and it was difficult to read about protagonists that repeatedly make the same foolish moves. Having listened through it, I’m still no nearer understanding. Perhaps I’m just not a fan of the “true crime” style.
Recommendation
I’d skip this one.
