Great narrator, story not worth it

Revisado: 11-19-24

If you’re just looking for another listen to for it, the narration makes the book enjoyable.

The plot is intriguing enough that I finished the whole thing, but the way people were hyping this book up I had higher expectation for the writing. Poor world building and seems like things were just thrown together, author tried to tie some things together at the end but just felt messy
Very sexually graphic, and lusty and some people said it was necessary for the story.. but it’s not. Should def be aware of what your getting into with this book
Enemy’s to lovers is not accurate either. Saeris essentially hates kingfisher for little to no reason immediately and clings on to it unnecessarily


Things to like- the side characters: Ren, Loretta, Carrion and cute pet fox
Somewhat unique ending twist.

But overall don’t recommend the story
Do recommend the narrators

A memoir wrapped in the presence of trees and their creator

Revisado: 05-09-23

Andrew Peterson is gifted with words and his story is beautifully told, and compels the reader to look at creation as a gift, breath in the fresh air and to taste and see that the Lord is good. It’s an honest boon where Peterson describes very vulnerable and broken moments, and I found it to be encouraging and refreshing to read.

why a three

Revisado: 09-13-17

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

honestly not even sure why i'm giving it a three and not a two or a one, maybe because i'm a fan of the authors.. and figured I must have missed something due to the performance. Wouldn't recommend

How could the performance have been better?

Not that she was hard to listen to, but her dramatization of the characters made the main girl seem so whiney I hated her from the start, and her eventual love interest, and character I did like, but the voice made him seem so much older and gruff it was hard to imagine them ever being together.

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

unlikely

Not Rivers best work

Revisado: 07-04-16

It could be because of the performance. Mary Catherine's part was painful to listen to, I found myself wanting to skip most of her part. Sierras part was mostly well written.
This book however is the only one of Francine Rivers books that I'd likely not recommend. I give her four stars because the message is true and for some a story of adulatory and marriage recovery it could be just the thing to help them, and I respect Rivers rule and heart.

Great Story, hard to follow

Revisado: 04-27-16

What did you love best about The Golem and the Jinni?

Overall this is a great story and would recommend it! The performance had a good narrator, my problem with it is the story switches between characters often. and if you aren't 100% focused as you listen, its difficult to tell when it is switching scenes, especially in the first several chapters as the reader is still being introduced to characters and time frames.

Good story, just not one that is easily listened to while multi tasking.
