good story, overdone narration

Revisado: 10-14-22

the narrators constant strangely forced deep tone tried to give a sense of ominous portent and suspense, but it just distracted me from the story constantly and made it hard to actually feel any sort of suspense or tension.

story was well written, but unfortunately it was overshadowed by the "I'm trying to be dark and sinister" droning narration

wasted a credit on narration

Revisado: 10-12-22

the story was tolerable, but the formulaic narration patterns made the entire performance lose any sense of pacing or drama or suspense. I wish I hadn't spent a credit on this. probably won't finish it

fairly simple story, decent narration

Revisado: 06-14-22

one primary complaint...
this narrator is quite prolific, but couldn't figure out how to say Velasquez? it's a hard "k" sound, not "kw"...

slow start, savory ending

Revisado: 07-08-21

took a little while to get going, but then the juices really started flowing. a nice little escape from the day to day monotony.

Hot... but...

Revisado: 07-06-21

So... I hate to say this... but I got bored during some of the sex scenes. Teddy's sections were great. He was 100% present and in the scene every single time. Jacob though... As much as I love most of his work, it sounded like he was bored during a lot of this book. Almost like I could hear him rolling his eyes like "okay, here we go again".

Honestly... I skipped to the end of a few chapters because of it.

The story? Great, no complaints. A little unrealistic, but hey, this is all fantasy land, so I can't knock that.
The narration, 50% Great / 50% "Okay".

badly organized

Revisado: 07-01-21

skip the first ~2 hours. for some reason they included a ton of detail before the story that could have been summarized into a few sentences and then said to listen to the appendix. and I lost interest about 2 hours from the end. there were tons of lists of things and it got really boring. I skipped forward and things got marginally better

all in all it was a good read, classic story, most of the narration was excellent. but some of it was really dull as well.

beautiful story

Revisado: 06-30-21

Aven Shore's wistful tone, often laced with warmth and notes of hope, while also dramatic and intense where required, was a perfect match for this beautiful documentary-style exposition on the life and struggles of a polar bear and her cubs. I felt like I was watching the life of this little family with Aven as my guide. I appreciated that the sections involving humans and their effects on the bears (oil, tagging, etc) were present but weren't harped on so much as to be exhausting. A very pleasant listen. I even learned a few things!

in search of decongestant

Revisado: 12-01-20

Several chapters sounded like Ray Porter had a cold and was trying to power through the work anyway.

otherwise the book was fine
