I love the wonderful, uplifting endings of Lily Chu's writing! So enjoyable and I look forward to listening to many more of her audio books.

Shockingly boring after the first five or so titles of the series, available on Audible as of now! None of the appeal from the previous books (no cab business, Gloria, Sam, significant others…). The only familiar characters are Carlotta, Roz, and Paulina. Zero comic relief. (I’m about 2/5 of the way through as I write this. Used to be able to “binge” listen; lately I find myself reluctant to press play for 10 minutes!)

Such a darkly depressing departure from the usual mood in the series. Grim, rife with disturbing takes on every front, with so little comedy or goodness to even things out. Disappointing if you’re used to the net feel-good experience found in the preceding installments.

The prior 3 books seemed a heartfelt and well thought out passion project for the author. This one reads more like a hasty sample piece to beat a contest deadline—but sadly not blue-ribbon. The plot was meandering and unfocused; long, tangential detours were awkwardly out-of-place. Such boring and disengaging place-filler sections were downright annoying at times. It seems the quality of a professional writer’s workshop exercise or technical drill, if not a C- or below examination of Consulo’s authoring skills.

Critt brings these characters of Janet’s to LIFE! Outstanding! It’s as though she was intimately aware of the author’s most subtle hints as to mood and vibration. What a match! Perfect accents & voices…exemplary, mind-blowing, and pitch-perfect.

Fun story; narrator leaves unrealized potential.

Ms. Hallett read like Alyssa Bresnehan did Dekker’s father’s “The 49th Mystic”, except much more youthful-sounding and relaxed. Still somewhat painful, but far less intensely so… it didn’t distract from the author’s storytelling too, too much.

The whole time I was torn between loving Dekker’s excellent storytelling, and longing for relief from the outrageous suffering inflicted by the rigid, harsh, and painfully awkward style of narration. Very unfair to the audience.

Tragically, this pitiably rigid-sounding narrator all but ruins the listening experience entirely. Her exclusively painstaking enunciations (e.g. consistently exaggerating the “-dow” in “shadow”) insinuate a ruthless, or maybe just compulsive, tacit lecture, berating the listening public on how, it would appear, she thinks the English language should sound—when most native speakers were butchering it. Starkly distracting from our attention to the author’s words (over, and over, again…), at least the herky-jerky narration doesn’t make it impossible to get through the whole book. For that, great thanks are due Dekker’s exquisite authorship, and what underlying, palliative vocal assets Ms. Bresnehan thankfully does bring to the table à la Ellen Archer (see Dekker’s other fantastic work, “A.D. 30”)—however unfledged. Whether rooted in under-confidence or over-, what’s still more cloyingly gauche is that, unaptly, Bresnehan affects a stilted, rusty, [WASP-like] American accent of—incredulously—the early 1900s! (While her voice sounds quite mature, it’s certainly not elderly enough for her to have grown up whenever an accent like that might have sounded native, or natural.) Ms. Bresnehan would do the world a favor to intensively examine and exemplify the smooth, graceful approach of her masterful contemporary, Ms. Ellen Archer.

Innocent little kids voiced as demented monsters…absolutely horrific. It ruins any ability to enjoy the story! Deeply disappointing rendition of a wonderfully written story.
