Phenomenal story & author narrated, LOVE it!

Revisado: 06-26-21

I absolutely adore these books! I specifically wanted to give the audiobook version a try because the author narrated herself which is such a cool bonus touch imo. Everything flowed well for me, good quality and truly added an extra element to the story to hear it read by the author...ESPECIALLY THE POETRY, which really came alive. Highly recommend checking this one out, The Light Trilogy will knock your socks off!

Fantastic beginning to a wonderful series!

Would you consider the audio edition of Whirl to be better than the print version?

I typically prefer print versions of books, but this audio edition definitely packs a punch!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Whirl?

Being transported to this magical world of Ondine's, Selkies, and Aquidae.

What does Jaime Lamchick bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Firstly, Jamie's Naida Irisavie gave me chills!! So spot on! She did a great job distinguishing each character's voice and emotions.

Any additional comments?

First off, I LOVED the idea of this world of elementals!! We got a close look at the water elementals and their various roles and just scratched the surface of their abilities. Ummm first time seeing Selkies in a book, and how sweet is that?! I can't wait to see more of them!! This was clearly the start of a series, and a fantastical one at that, so Whirl ended up being more of an introduction to a very complex, imaginative world. I loved it and I can't wait to get more!!


I liked Kendra for the most part, she's kind of a bada*s, but like a baby bada*s in the elemental world. I like that she's still got a lot to learn, it makes it fun for the reader to learn right along with her. She's used to being mostly on her own and she doesn't exactly play well with others, but she's also that kind of heroine everyone likes because she has a penchant for befriending, and defending the underdogs, and who doesn't like a good underdog? She can be a little brash but I'm cool with that, I think that will even out as her character grows throughout the series. Totally random, and really childish, but I also love that there's cuss words in this book. I don't know many 17 year olds that talk like granny church mums, so I'm glad when that comes through in a story.

Would you consider the audio edition of Breaking Measures to be better than the print version?

I think it added a new level of intensity for sure!

What did you like best about this story?

I honestly love the writing. The descriptions are so vivid, the stage and music really felt like a demanding, living, all consuming entity.

Which character – as performed by Rebecca Roberts – was your favorite?

I thought she was a brilliant Leila Cates!

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Breaking Measures is a siren song you won't be able to resist!

Any additional comments?

Emma Raveling is one of my favorite authors! I don't care what genre she writes in, her writing blows me away EVERY TIME.
