Tedious
Revisado: 10-04-16
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
better performance by the actors, less cumbersome plot
Has A Torch Against the Night turned you off from other books in this genre?
Not particularly. The first was good, this one just fell flat.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
there were a lot of weird pauses, and deadpanning.

Forced to disguise herself as a boy and serve in the king's army, Alexa uses her quick wit and fierce sword-fighting skills to earn a spot on the elite prince's guard. But when a powerful sorcerer sneaks into the palace in the dead of night, even Alexa can't prevent him from abducting her, her fellow guard and friend Rylan, and Prince Damian, taking them through the treacherous wilds of the jungle and deep into enemy territory. The longer Alexa is held captive with both Rylan and the prince, the more she realizes that she is not the only one who has been keeping dangerous secrets.

Weird plot points, but generally engaging.
Revisado: 01-16-16
This book didn't capture me like some others, but it was entertaining enough that I'll buy the second.
The author had some strange plot points that seemed too obvious as mechanisms to drive the story. Descriptions were sometimes too gauge as well. I'd have liked to seen some more in-depth development of the other characters as well. What are the motivations of the bad guys? all of the side characters lack depth.

Hugely Disappointing
Revisado: 02-22-15
Any additional comments?
The ending was the biggest let down I've come across in a LONG time.
Considering I read almost 250 books a year, that's talent.
The story was intriguing up until half wag through this last book. Conflict kept me engaged long into the night.
Then towards the end, BLEW IT.
No closure. No final push for the win. No satisfaction given for the hardships the characters endured. Literally, Dorothy Hearst destroyed everything these characters loved, and then dropped the mic like " look at my genius "
NO. NEVER AGAIN.
