A fabulous series starter by a new (to me) author

Revisado: 02-27-21

I consider myself fairly picky but I took the chance on buying this audiobook by a new to me author. Especially so since I have been in a rut lately and nothing seems to be keeping my attention. Well this book was really a wonderful find and hooked me right away! I imediately went and bought all of this author's back catalog and have been working my way through. This author is now definitely on my "auto buy" list.

A great ending to the series!

Revisado: 07-07-20

It was sad to come to the end of this series, but the author did a great job with it. The loose ends were all tied up without being rushed as often happens in a series of this scope. So many times I am disappointed in an ending, but this time the author did a great job and there was a bit of a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. The narrator was fabulous as always and I will definitely look for other books by this narrator and author in the future.

Good story, not so good narrator

Revisado: 02-02-20

I love this author and was on a binge listening to all of the available audiobooks by her and really enjoyed them all except for this one. I really tried, started it three times but the narrator was terrible. She has a very lispy voice which makes all of the characters, especially the men, sound really odd and effeminate. Definitely not my favorite which is a shame because the story is good.

I really enjoyed this audiobook and it kept my attention through a busy couple of days when I was multitasking getting ready for Christmas visits (no small feat!!). The story was engaging, moved at a good pace, and worked well for an audiobook. I always say for an audiobook to work well it has to be a bit humerous, not too many exotic names, a bit pulpy and have a good story line to keep you interested as you do other tasks. And of course a goo narrator. This narrator took a bit to get used to in the beginning but I ended up liking her. I would definitely purchase more audiobooks from this author in the future!

I hope this is not the end of this series

Revisado: 07-15-19

Another great addition to the series. I hope this isn't the last we see of this world. My only criticism would be I would have liked to see some of the political aspects fleshed out a bit more. Very impressed with the entire series but it left me wanting more :)

Loved this one!

Revisado: 07-15-19

I really enjoyed this story - again great characterization, lots of political intrigue, and a bit of a mystery. Can't wait to listen to the next installment in the series.

A great start to a new Shinn series

Revisado: 07-15-19

Sharon Shinn writes serious comfort fantasy - and this one doesn't let down. The echoes are a very interesting concept and as always her characterization very well done. This one reads more like her Twelve Houses series with a lot of political drama. I am so excited that these three were released together so I don't have to wait for the next book. As far as the narrator - at first I thought I would hate her - I really don't care for high pitched very girly voices - but once the story started I thought she did a good job.

One of my favorite Audiobook series!

Revisado: 06-18-19

I am really enjoying this series - it has everything going for it. First of all, the story is engaging and makes me look forward to each new installment. I have read a few other books by this author and this is by far my favorite. It's an Alladin type retelling but not in a too obvious way. The world is interesting and the story is very character driven. Marian Hussey does an amazing job as a narrator and really puts you into the story. I can't wait for the next book in the series to be released!

Even better than the first book in the series!

Revisado: 01-19-19

It says a lot when the second book in a series is even better than the first (which I enjoyed a lot). The main characters and the side characters are all very well done and not just two dimensional. I really can't wait for the next book to come out. The narration was once again awesome with really good male and female voices.

Fantastic story

Revisado: 01-19-19

I really enjoyed this book and quickly ordered and listened to the second book in the series. Really well done with an interesting story and well fleshed out characters. I was in a bit of a book burnout when I picked this one up (had started and discarded about ten audiobooks in a row) but this one caught me from the get go. Very well narrated. Can't wait for the next book in the series to be released.
