I loved the first two seasons, but the whole god-mode plot of season 3 kinda lost me. (Though the hobos were pretty funny.)

I agree with the comments about it not being a finished draft - I've kinda had that opinion about most long fiction I've heard on podcasts.

The lamp flared and crackled . . .
And Nevyrazimov felt better.

The only bit of criticism I've noticed in the Heaven series is specifically with season three, in which Daniel turned from a strong, prophetic character into an inconsistant douche in a fashion that didn't really work for me. The rest is pretty solid though.

The fourth season did get a lot better though--I love this new world that they "built." I mean, steampunk meets dinosaurs? Who the hell wouldn't? ;D

I agree that these could indeed use the heavy editing hand. That said, I like them quite a bit. I'm along for the ride, and I devoured them wholesale within hours of finding them posted on itunes.  Mur can keep writing and I'll keep listening. Plus- I fully plan on investing in PFK if and or when it hits "real book" publishing status. 

I have noticed in Murs books that most of her male charactosr have some douchbaggery about them. Humm.

Oh, great and mighty Alasdair, Orator Maleficent, He of the Silvered Tongue, guide this humble fangirl past jumping up and down and squeeing upon hearing the greatness of Thy voice.
Oh mighty Mur the Magnificent. I am not worthy.

As an aside, i just finished 'playing for keeps' and am now desperately itching for a sequel.
She really left it hanging at the end there didnt she?

I've noticed that a male character invariably calls the female lead "dude" at least once in the course of the story  :D
