Narration is better here than in Tithe

Revisado: 04-19-19

Story is even better than Tithe, and the reader does a better job with all the characters here than Tithe, too. Any rereads of Tithe are going to happen with my paperback, but I can listen to Ironside again :)

A crime to hot fae boys everywhere

Revisado: 04-04-19

Roiben is supposed to be this hot warrior fae, but the person reading this book makes him sound like he just ran up six flights of stairs. And I didn't know you could over-enunciate, but I have discovered listening to this that you absolutely can. I think she did fine as Kaye and Corny, but she ruined Roiben, like it was gratingly bad, and the book was way less enjoyable than just reading a paperback copy myself. It was work to keep listening. The sample of Ironside didn't sound as bad, so I'm hoping that's the case. The story is dark and messed up and pretty good, but I'll stick to my paperback in future.

I cried at work while listening to this because FEELINGS. This is the best audiobook I've listened to in years.

Dislike

Revisado: 08-22-15

I struggled through most of this book. It was slow and predictable and I couldn't even be bothered to care about any of the characters. Worse, it was sentimental, and I just wasn't having it. Listening to this entire thing was a chore, although I think the reader's performance improves the experience of the novel. I was more and more annoyed every time the narrator said "little _______ fool" because naming the Everyman protagonist "Fool" is just so super duper clever anyway. It was repetative and pretentious. Also the author's interpretation of hell lacks both ambition and creativity -- probably the most disappointing aspect since the ending (while better than the rest) is not surprising or illuminating. The book is not scary, but it is disgusting with graphic description of wounds, people eating dirt and shitting, and demons jerking off in the streets. Overall it was a waste of my time as there was little immediacy in solving the mystery and actually being a detective and by the time the character got to that point (seriously, he is a fool, which is even more annoying -- how did he get this job if he's only started being good at it at the end of the book?) I was wondering why why whyyyy is there still 45 minutes left?
