I only made it part way through chapter 6. Everything is over described. Too many metaphors, too many similes, too much description and constant angst.

I wanted to get into the story, but it was constantly drowned out by all the extra description of every single thing from the environment, everyone's words, everyone's faces, everyone's steps, blah, blah, blah.

Reminds me a bit of The Name of the Wind. Not as deep, but thought provoking on what is right and wrong. Does it depend on the circumstances, or are all decisions both right and wrong simultaneously?

I do enjoy these books on some level. The fact that both series is listened to have the same structure, a female main character with humor, a side male character who has detective experience and is in one way or another trying to teach her in an simplifying and some times condescending fashion, and the weird things that happen to them. I love the humor and the quirky things that happen, but the fact that it's the same recipe I'm probably done. The narrator is wonderful.

The new narrator did a wonderful job!

The story feels like it moves a bit fast at times.

I like how the characters are not one dimensional.

The main character is a wee bit sexist, in that the only "god" character he fights hard to "save from themselves" is a female. But on the upside he's no where close to as sexist as a lot of male main characters are in this genre.

Starting the 3rd book after I finish this review and would completely recommend this series.

Disappointed in the Emperor, but these books do a good job of making the characters multidimensional with good attributes and bad.

Oz is egotistical and unpleasant. In his words, it's just so hard to be a man. He cannot find anything nice to say about his ex in an effort to get her back.

Rachel is sad, she so desperately clings to a man and a "best friend" who clearly do not care about anyone but themselves.

love these two, both narrator and author. Always get the audio books.

I did find Teddy a little annoyingly naive about his father and the future of the company as it always seemed a bit contradictory. But didn't ruin the story.

I originally found this author when looking for other books read by this narrator because I love this narrator. I continue to listen to books from this author for that reason also, and only if they are part of the audible plus catalog.

I would not pay money or a credit to listen to them, but they are okay. A good palette cleanser between better books with more substance.

The stories aren't bad, but they are quite repetitive within the book and the series. Sometimes, they have small conflicting information.

I continue to greatly enjoy this series.

The characters have good depth. Does it suck to lose characters you love, sure, but for a story to have a depth of reality, it is necessary.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first books in the series, this one not so much.

I did not enjoy the narrator. His voices were so different from the series regular narrator. He made grandma sound ancient and creaky.

I couldn't tell if it was the writing for this perspective or the narrator's tone, but he made Alison sound very unlikable.

It left me disliking Paul's character. He seems very know-it-all and critical of everyone else.

In the previous books, he's telling Alison not to judge, just gather the facts, but it seems all Paul does is judge. He's critical of what he calls "the little native boy" instead of using the child's name. He's critical of the Lenape ghosts for not learning English in their centuries of free time as ghosts.

Only finished it because it was so short. Only reason I didn't return it was because it was free as part of the Audible membership.
