most annoying narrator.

Revisado: 01-07-20

this narrator sounds like she reading to a kindergarten class. when she does men's voices she's slightly less annoying... she also has sloppy annunciation.

I rarely rate books but this deserves more

Revisado: 04-16-18

this is the best gritty HF novels I've read since George rr. I actually like it better. i estimate I've read/listened to >400 since then. It has everything in fantasy genre you could ask for (literally everything along with things you'd never know to wish for) in a gritty adult presentation. Simon Vance NAILS this performance. It's definitely not your 'coming of age hero saves the day' story.. I'm almost finished with the be 2nd book and i feel duty bound to help my fellow fantasy genre junkies fine this book. I've yet to determine who I'm rooting for.... who is good and who is not, let alone right and wrong. The characters are not predictable not erratic, They're smart and secretive and make good decisions.. often I thought I had figured out the 'good guys and the bad guys' in book 1 only to be completely suprised later.... These books are never predictable. There has never been a dull minute. I have felt a strong affection or loathing for main characters from the beginning and it only grows or changes throughout. This book keeps you guessing and nothing is off limits. From dragons, fae, cults of demon worshipping witches and monsters and an amazing fully developed world where nothing is off limits... plus political upheaval and power struggles. this book is totally adult, totally intriguing and gritty as they come. generally I only rate books because I read /listen to do many I forget which series I want to continue so I rate the books I can finish and be return the ones i can't get thru. This book is similar (in a way... maybe grittiness and originality) to Alex Marshalls A Crown for Cold Silver series. I think I may like this better even than Brandon Sanderson Way of Kings series.... and those above are my top favorites for the last decade..... So, if you like gritty high fantasy, you can't do better than this!! I usually listen to most books at higher speed because I'm ADD and get bored easily but I finished this at normal speed. I'm totally in love with this author and can't wait for future books. I'd even go out of genre to follow him and that's rare for me. get this book! you will be so very glad you did!

Whip smart, original and engaging!

Revisado: 02-03-18

This is the most original, engaging and brilliant fantasy series I've ever read and I have 600+ books in my library. I love Alex better than Brandon and maybe even George rr... This world 'the star' and it's inhabitants are like nothing you'll experience anywhere else. This author is whip smart and witty. Every chapter and every book you'll fall more deeply in love. I want more than these 3 books so bad it hurts. Please give us more Alex! Please give us more Alex, Audible. PLEASE......

I just can't get into this. ...

Revisado: 03-26-17

this book is OK but something about it just didn't engage me. I tried several times and at faster speeds but just didn't finish. .... I guess I just don't care about protagonist or other characters.....

Great new series and I LOVED the narrator

Revisado: 03-21-17

I listened at 1.25 speed because that seemed more like normal speech speed to me and I'm a bit ADD. ... I think the narrator was dragging the length out by reading a bit slow or the editor slowed the tape.... however this narrator is really really talented and nice to listen to. he does many character voices well and he has a very pleasant voice. I probably could have enjoyed it at regular speed once I was onto the book (so 3 minutes in, lol). Why haven't I heard of this narrator before? ???? he's got a GREAT voice!!! Very talented narrator and author.

This is a bit of a coming of age story while still remaining very original. It follows 2 boys on different sides of an upcoming war until they come together. This book has action, love, danger and introduces us to the mysterious fae. This book would be OK for YA but it does not feel like YA or immature, however no sex, rape or really gory scenes. it's not missing action at all. You instantly love these emotionally mature characters and the world they live in. I did not struggle even once to stay engaged, from the very beginning all the way through. This author is a true storyteller so works and character building are developed and is an absolute treat to explore.
I have >900 audio books, 75% fantasy however probably 40% are unfinished because I am not disciplined enough to stick with books that can't grab my attention right away. .....
