Everything I dreamed and more

Revisado: 08-06-18

I expected great things from Naomi Novik based on how much I enjoyed Uprooted. I was not disappointed. I would say I even enjoyed this one more. Such a rich world with complex characters and of course the strong women who will do their own saving, thank you very much. Spectacular book which I see going on my high re-read list.

All the POVs

Revisado: 11-01-17

Loved this. It's an interesting universe he's created and I am a huge fan of all the different POVs. Love getting all the angles in a story that way. It really forces you to re-examine any bias you might have toward one character or another. Took a bit to figure everything out, but that's generally the case for me with epic fantasy since it's always a huge new world with crazy names to learn. I plan on going through it again soon while it's still fresh so I can catch any details I missed in the beginning while I was getting used to the world. Kevin Hearne posted a map of the land on his page that made it much easier for me to keep track of things. I am absolutely in love with the way the powers work in this world. Cannot wait to hear more. Luke Daniels is amazing as always. I docked performance by one star because Xe Sands was good, but not great. Her characters all sounded the same to me and that made it a little harder to follow on her chapters. Overall the performance was still above average.

Terrible Audio Quality

Revisado: 01-23-17

I love Thomas Wolfe and this a a good story but this version is abridged and the audio quality is terrible. It has that crackling noise in the background and it's painful to listen to.

A welcome surprise

Revisado: 12-11-15

I wasn't sure what to expect from this when I read the reviews. I really enjoyed the Magic 2.0 series and Luke Daniels is the most amazing narrator in the universe so I decided to give it a shot. As expected, it did start off a bit slow and confusing but WOW did it get hilarious later on. Absolutely worth sticking out the first bit and honestly I think that will be great upon a second read through.

It's Joffry, not Jeffry!!!!!!!!

Revisado: 11-04-13

What made the experience of listening to A Game of Thrones the most enjoyable?

It's an amazing series and I love that now I can "read" it and crochet at the same time!

Did Roy Dotrice do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

His inconsistency with saying the names correctly is killing me. He may say Joffrey and then Jeffrey within the same 20 seconds, I docked it a star for that because it's really that annoying and it gets worse as you progress through the series. Other than that he does a pretty good job, I can't say I agree 100% on his characterization choices but you can easily discern the change in speakers during the dialogue.
