There was just a little bit too much wordiness. I assume Larry Dixon was the primary author in this series ? It was all interesting information, but it wasn't quite interspersed with action enough... so sometimes it got quite tiring listening to the extended internal monologues.

I don't know how Lackey does it, but she manages to avoid that feeling of narration exhaustion.

Still, I enjoyed the characters and the story and look forward to further episodes in this story.

I consumed the story in Audible and thought that the narrator was pretty good ...but in addition to everything else slowing the story down, I felt that when he read the Griffin's conversation, the excessive rolling of the Rs and the pace of the speech was just a little bit too much.

I found myself getting impatient and setting the speed of the narration to 1.2 (which made the human characters too fast and the Griffin still a little too slow).

See my review of the last book for more details but the short version is that this is a litRPG that rises above that category. it's good on its own merits, and is the type of story where an ordinary person succeeds spectacularly due to their own character and kindness towards those around him.

Whether you are into RPG literature or not, this is a great story. The narration is great and the story is engaging and draws you in quickly.

If you like stories about ordinary people making the best of their situation and going on to great success, you will like this story.

It sort of reminds me of Nathan Lowell's Quarter Share story about a young man making the best of the hand he's dealt, and succeeding partly because of the kind and generous way he treats those around him.

Great story and best cat like alien story ever.

Great story and best "cat-like alien" story ever. this is the second in the series so be sure to read the first one - Pride of Chanur - first. CJ Cherryh does better than anyone in inventing plausible aliens and giving them understandable societies and biology that affects, but does not lock-in, their attitudes and behaviors. Humans as much as the other aliens are informed by, and sometimes limited by , their inherent assumptions, needs, and expectations. Reaching across the barrier of species and situation, friendship and loyalty can still occur, but it requires extraordinary courage and strength of character. This is the kind a problem at the basis of most of CJ Cherryh's stories and this is one of the best. There are a couple more in the series and I wish there were a dozen more!

I always enjoy following stories from either sister. but I am looking forward to more from the family on the vampire planet. On the other hand I was glad to come back to Earth.

Basically I wish we had A new book from Both worlds every year! If I have any complaint at all I wish there was a little bit more of the personal romantic relationship developing than concentrating quite so much on solving the innkeeper political problems :)

But still, I enjoyed this installment, and am looking forward to the next one!

A great expansion to the innkeeper universe!

I had read this before when it 1st came out but I very much enjoyed the audible version. A great central character and a lot of fun To follow.

I found it just a little unbelievable that a human (however well trained) would fare so well against the much stronger vampires, but the superior healing technology did well enough to make it convincing that she could fight convincingly, even if seriously injured, and recover from the serious wounds received from going toe to toe with vampires.

The romance was fun, even if they were both just a little too perfect, But I enjoyed the progression of the relationship and a chance to explore the vampire world and culture.

I am also intrigued about the hints of Innkeeper powers that Maud is discovering and how it might connect to the family finally finding their parents.

I am really looking forward to the next book!

I really love Faith Hunter's books and was a huge Jane Yellowrock fan... But I am loving Nell, the plant Para who has escaped from a cultish church group and becomes an FBI agent even more! the characters, the situation, the story, The inventive details of this modern fantasy world are all wonderful , and the narrator captures it all with an excellent performance!

in many ways I think I like this sub storyline of the Jane yellowrock series even better than the main track. So far, this is my favorite book in the series although I like them all.
