Rosalyn Landor is one of the greatest narrators I’ve ever had the pleasure to discover. She brings “Pride and Prejudice” to life with her excellent variety of female and masculine voices.

Mia Gaskin nearly ruins this series.

Once again, SLF has created a zompoc masterpiece. And once again Clara’s narrator steals some of my enjoyment of those POV chapters.

I truly believed no one could surpass Anne Flosnik as the worst voice I’ve ever heard, but Mia Gaskin tops the cake. It’s frustrating and disappointing that the producer gave the job to three talented narrators and the fourth position to a baby-voiced woman who can’t handle masculine dialogue and creates these awkward pauses between paragraphs, even at 1.3x speed.

It’s too bad SLF wasn’t allowed to choose narrators. I don’t think Mia Gaskin would’ve made the short list.

Darth Gerbil and the pile of rocks

This FMC is dumber than a pile of rocks. She’s only 18 but she’s about as logical and reasonable as a four year old. I couldn’t believe it when she called her case worker guy panicking about how millions of dollars that had been stolen from a bank—an event that had absolutely nothing to do with her—had somehow ended up in her savings account. It doesn’t end there, but feel free to experience each and every one of them yourself.

She’s also freaking wishy-washy as hèll when it comes to life choices. It’s annoying. “I don’t think I like him (Eli), and I don’t think I should date him. I should probably just focus on myself and getting used to being Sadie. But he’s so hot! He’s like a supermodel and he’s got the cutest smile…” and sure enough, two minutes later she’s kissing him and holding his hand.

This book is an example of consistently bad writing. Lots of stüpid stereotypical characters and plot holes. And I don’t think the author has ever been to college. She doesn’t seem to understand what really happens or what dorms are like. Everyone who’s been to college knows the first day of classes is devoted to going over the syllabi, and while the author got that right for the Sadie’s first class, why would dūmb little goat still pull her notebook out of her bag for her second one? It’s stupid things like this throughout that kill the story. Zero common sense, little-to-no fact research, bad dialogue.

The quality of the story is subpar-at-best, but the narrator was ATROCIOUS and made the audiobook version a DNF. For the narrator’s “masculine” voice, I’m pretty sure the audio editor simply tinkered with the pitch, which gives the voice a ridiculous metallic quality. So for all of the male character dialogue, the narrator sounds like a gerbil speaking into a fan. Darth Gerbil.

This ended up being about 598 million times better than I expected. I liked the narrators—especially the guy.

The dialogue/text/narrative was FUNNY! I never LOL but I did a last the last couple of days.

I hadn’t wanted to waste credits on the book and the next, so I bought them for a combined $9 or so. I would’ve been fine using credits.

The duke was the most intriguing character in the series. I skipped the two previous books, too impatient to reach his story. I expected more for Wulfric. I never would have guessed the author would consider his better half to be a foolish and immature 29 year old barren woman with zero character arc.

Christina was supposed to be his counterpart in every possible way, which, admittedly, Wulfric needed, but her personality was over-the-top ridiculous. She had absolutely no class, self-discipline or dignity, and she was resolutely unapologetic about it. I was embarrassed for her when listening to the scenes where she was at her most stupid and ignorant. I get that was the whole point behind the pairing; however, it was too exaggerated and unbelievable. Balogh forced Christina’s ignorant character, rendering it unnatural feeling.

I love Sarah M Eden’s Dread Penny Society series and “Ashes on the Moor.” I didn’t think she could do any wrong.

This book has been nothing but a disappointment. The lack of contractions (ie overly formal dialogue and narrative), the lame and unoriginal plot, and the MCs unwillingness to simply tell people, “There was a misunderstanding with the employment agency. Miriam (ugh the name) just came here for a job, not to get married.” Of course, doing so was too sensible a course of action. The MCs allowed the town to think the worst of her…and it just doesn’t work as a plot line.

And the narrator is…not good.

We know the narrator isn’t vocal goddess Justine Eyre. I’m sure Eyre was as disappointed she couldn’t narrate as we are.

The recording studio chose Helen Lloyd because she’s able to do a plethora of accents, an obvious requirement for these stories. Unfortunately, Lloyd is better suited to middle-aged women of various backgrounds.

Lloyd was an absolutely unfortunate choice for this series with the majority of the main, secondary and tertiary characters being male. She nearly ruins it, but because the story is THAT GOOD I’m able to listen to carry on. Only perseverance and acceptance that I have no choice in her voice has allowed me to run through this audiobook a mere two times. I’ve listened to the first three at least fifteen times each, if not more.

If the recording company were to re-narrate it with Eyre, they’d have many very happy listeners and Sarah M Eden would have quite a bit more money in her bank account since we’d all willingly buy or dedicate a credit to a remake. But these companies don’t do that sort of thing, apparently.

It’s Sarah Lyons Fleming, so five stars all around. But I cannot stand Clara’s narrator. I skip every one of her chapters in all three books because her icky baby voice and those minute pauses she has a habit of creating drive me nuts.

The storyline in this book was phenomenal, per the usual. (Spoiler alert) It was really nice having a reprieve from gut-wrenching, heartbreaking character loss. I doubt SLF will go easy on us in the final book. August 2024 can’t come soon enough.

Thandi Newton nailed it! Her voices for female and male characters were ranged and discernible and absolutely perfect.

I thought the Rapture was still a bit off. When did Beelzebub get here? And when did he take over Audible? Christ—oops, sorry—I mean, Devil, I miss everything…
