Very emotional

Revisado: 04-07-25

Very good storytelling with flawed characters (like we all are in real life) & showing how we all can rise above our flaws to be humane beings.

I enjoyed the story very much

Revisado: 03-06-24

This is the first AI generated narration I've listened to & it is VERY lacking compared to human narration. It was very flat & there was no attempt at different voices or accents.

Good story - bad narrator

Revisado: 12-27-23

The story overall was pretty good but the narrator wasn't. After listening to a narrator like Andrea Parsneau who has an entire library of voices for her narrations this was a big letdown. This narrator has no range of different characters voices (everybody sounds alike, male & female) but she continuously mispronounces words which drives me crazy!!!!!!!

Best audible series ever! Double thumbs up to my favorite narrator, Andrea Parsneau who makes each volume a wondrous experience due to her skills!

Great story - FANTASTIC narrator

Revisado: 04-13-22

I have rarely written a review for anything but this series deserved it (especially after reading some of the negative reviews.

The story does start out slow, but stick with it. It keeps getting better. I've read a lot of bad reviews based on the first character that you meet, a teenager from our world who finds herself in another world without knowing how or why. Others think she whines too much & so on. I think she acts just like most spoiled teenagers of our time would if they were dumped somewhere without any modern conveniences & lots of dangers. Instead there is magic and at first, multiple scary sentient species.

It takes a while to meet all the different characters & it's worth the time. I have read up to Book 5 with Book 6 coming out in a few weeks. The story takes place in a very unique & interesting world. In all the fantasy genre books that i've read (and that's a lot) this world isn't like any other I've read about. There's adventure, danger, political intrigue along with kindness & deep friendships.

One thing that really adds to the story is the narrator, Andrea Parneau. She is the absolute best that I have ever heard & I listen to 4-6 audiobooks per week. She has a different voice for each character, so much so that you usually know who's talking before you're told. Her accents are spot on. American, British (upper class & cockney), Irish, Scottish, Slavic & even the insect species in the story sound like what you would imagine ant-like sentient beings would sound like! Because of her, the series needs to be heard in Audiobook format to enjoy it fully.

Great story!

Revisado: 12-05-21

I loved this story! Just when I thought I knew where things were headed, they didn't! Extremely imaginative & well written. Loved the narrator but HATED the annoying background music that came & went. Only reason I'm not giving a full 5 star rating.

Great story. Horrible narrator.

Revisado: 09-20-20

I have been a fan of Anne Rice for many years. I have the hardcover versions of all the Vampire chronicle , Mayfair Witches, etc & am a recent convert to audiobooks. Up to this final (?) Lestat story the narrators have been impeccable. This narrator is HORRIBLE!! Doesn't even try to get the accents correct & his voice is overall ANNOYING!

The story is absolutely fantastic!!

Revisado: 10-20-19

I loved this story. My only complaint is with the musical portions in between some chapters. It was just plain annoying. It didn't add anything positive but made it hard to hear the actual narration until it FINALLY faded out.

Love the story!

Revisado: 04-23-19

I loved the unique spin on this supernatural story. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars was the voice used by the narrator for Sloan. The valley girl voice for a bad ass just irritated me to no end & took away from Sloan’s strong character who is over 300 years old & sounds like a teenager from the 80’s.
