Still exciting and humorous

Revisado: 08-19-24

This series has been great all the way through. The varied group of friends and allies in this series remind one a bit of Tolkien’s Fellowship in the diversity and gradual move to friendship and respect through experience and close contact. I look forward to the next book in the series!

Good story. Missed Skippy & Joe

Revisado: 06-14-24

Good story about those left on Paradise. I did miss the humor which predominantly comes from the interaction between Joe and Skippy in this series. As they were not in this book, the humor was damped down significantly. Still, definitely worth listening to for followers of the series.

Exciting and hilarious. Great listen

Revisado: 06-11-24

I have loved all three books in this series. The author is of the new breed that believed adventures are more fun with personalities and humor. I very much agree. The narration is spot on. The extreme east coast accent of Joe is lost when Skippy and the others speak. A consummate presentation of the characters and the humor. Not many adventure stories have me laughing out loud but this one did - several times.

Ambitious undertaking

Revisado: 05-10-24

This book defies definition. A bit science fiction, a bit fantasy, a lot superhero, and mostly lesbian romance. Superheros, supervillains, time travel, dragons , and dragon society all seamlessly woven into an enjoyable story by the author. Fun.

The narrator did a great job presenting the characters although I might quibble with her “Welsh” accent.

Great story great narrator

Revisado: 01-14-24

I love the author’s mix of history and fiction. Unlike many others in this genre, her books are filled with backstories and intimate details of the character’s lives and emotions. And the narrator is a perfect match portraying the emotions and undertones of each character. If you want more than just a “who done it” to your mysteries, this series is for you.

An entertaining and educational story

Revisado: 08-03-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

I thoroughly enjoyed the story and really appreciated the afterward setting the story in its historical and legendary place. It’s an entertaining and educational story filled with Norse legends and customs. Definitely worth reading/listening.
My only criticism, such as it is, has to do with the narration itself. While the author does a fine job with the narration and women’s voices (I especially liked Fekla), the men’s voices at times were somewhat stereotypical and lacked emotional dynamics. This was particularly evident with Beowulf’s voice which was so gruff that he always seemed to be angry and loud even when the scene called for reflection or tenderness. I considered whether or not that was intentional given the warrior class of these men but it did make them seem a bit one-dimensional. However, that was my only concern and it did not prevent me from enjoying the story.

Good story

Revisado: 01-11-23

Author skips over the battle scenes but is great with developing her characters and making you care about them by the middle of the book.
