And of course ya must know I love Jeff Hays and his narrations by now. So it was a pleasure to pick this audiobook up đ
Review as follows

![The Feedback Loop, Book 1 | [Harmon Cooper]](https://i0.wp.com/ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61c6xDEcYcL._SL175_.jpg)
A very well-known theme in this story makes it very familiar and yet so very different. Quantum wakes every morning, to the same routine, day in, day out, and has he thinks for the last few years. Little does he really know the full extent of whatâs actually been happening within the game he nicknames âthe loopâ.
When a message and a mysterious person, Frances, disturbs the loop and his day to day repetition. Everything that Quantum has come to know turns on him and heâs fighting for his life both inside and outside the game.
What I really enjoyed from this audiobook was the great attention to character detail, the depths to which Harmon has gone to make us really think about the situation that Quantum is in. After all, how would we react stuck not only in a game but repeating the same day? The psychological ramifications are evident throughout the story, but theyâre realistic and true to Quantumâs character and to that of someone who is playing a game.
What I think could have been improved, there were some great action scenes and sequences, but I think the reasons behind some werenât as clear as they could have been. The assassins on the outside, part of the âreapersâ were underdeveloped. I know money is the bane of all evil, but it didnât quite add up for me. I wanted more of their need to stop him in the game and out of it, maybe that comes out better as the series develops. I guess I can only hope.
I am an avid follower of Jeff Hays, so I canât lie that I already know his voices and his traits. As an actor, heâs growing not only in the genres heâs taking on but in the way he produces his work. Theyâre more and more entertaining, and itâs great to see someone branch out to take on, something as substantial in the writing world, a genre in its own making, litRPG.
I look forward to many more books from both these guys, this one is well worth a listen too. Thanks
