A Promising Start

Revisado: 04-17-25

There are flaws in the narrative and the characters delivery, but damn if they didn't make me care by the end.

Pleasantly Surprised!

Revisado: 02-28-25

I honestly did not expect to enjoy this book the way I did. Pacing is quick but action and dialogue are well written. Narrator killed it once again, great performance, particularly since the accents of the people of Thedas are important devices to reflect their cultures.

A perfectly imperfect format into romance

Revisado: 10-12-24

Sanderson's biggest talent has always been his world building, and the worlds he created for this story really built themselves from 2 characters. Both Yumi and Painter elevate the world by giving us two working peoples perspectives. This adds a sense of cohesion that really fills in the blanks and elevates the story.

Character Creation at its finest

Revisado: 08-05-24

I absolutely loved this story. Each POV was a rich dive into the motivations of different social classes and cultures. While Not as nuanced or varied as the storm light Archit's still a masterpiece in and out itself.

A study in Character interaction

Hearing both actors from the Dub was a gift I didn't expect to enjoy. They managed to bring that same connection the characters had in the show to the page.

A great read, highly recommend

A Colorful and Weighty Retelling of a Legend

Revisado: 05-26-24

As a new and enthusiastic student of Japanese history and lore, delving into the obvious fiction and embellishment of this story is a welcome release. In such a thick text there are certainly a few areas where it drags and given the original text was written over the course of years, there is a progression style that makes casually listening difficult.

This story requires commitment and invokes introspection. While certain parts could have been better executed narratively, this is still a great work that has earned a place in my printed library.

One of my old favorites

Revisado: 04-16-24

I first found spice and wolf on the Funimation channel when I was in middle school. Funding the light novels in English took time, but it essentially worth the wait. The pleasure of hearing Lawrence and Holos journey in such a wonderful and caring tone is a joy.

Just a Good bit of Fun

I read the original trilogy just last year and burned through this in a week. The powdermage universe in enriched and only inspires more love thanks to these stories.

Real potential bogged down by excessive concepts

Revisado: 09-30-23

While a fun story on its own, the gutter prayer falls a little short in terms of characterization, immersion, and pacing. While the exposition is well managed by informed characters the way those characters are written makes them seem a bit flat. Like they only exist for that exposition, Ala an NPC in a video game who shows up later.

The story is engaging but not truly gripping, and could have been better if it had focused on its stronger magic systems rather than trying to overload us. Quality over Quantity.

Will definitely read the next one to see how it improves.

Great content with a dry performance

Revisado: 09-07-23

DISCLAIMER This is great listening but not easy listening.


if you're going to listen to this, make sure you can focus on it. The structure doesn't lend itself well to reference since each lesson is independent of the next. The substance of those lessons is worth the listen, maybe two listens.
