This series is rapidly becoming one of my favourite fantasy series, and the reader maximises the fun and tension. Don't want to include spoilers, but from the start the plot is fast paced and there are plenty of unexpected twists. Loving it.

A lot of the negative reviews have focused on the performance, I certainly get that - I've enjoyed some of Stina Nielsen's other performances, but this one was like Jim Carrey on ecstasy - but what I can't understand is how so many people gave the story 5 stars.

A Court of Silver Flames is 50% porn, 40% teenage angst, and 10% actual plot. More than 12 hours of 26 had passed before something finally happened to advance the storyline, after which it was straight back to more sex and angst. The final few hours were good which is why I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, but this and the previous book could easily have been condensed into a single novella without losing anything. Much of the book felt like being on the sound crew of a second rate porn production, with the only saving grace being after the first 15-20 repetitive sex scenes I remembered I could fast forward over them (which I've never felt the need to do on any book previously).

I understand Maas is planning two more books in this series. The first 3 books in this series were excellent and I imagine I'll buy them, but I just hope she gets the balance and pace of the plot in those two back to a professional standard.

"To become a leader you have to learn to shout, but then you have to learn how not to". Never get sick of Terry Pratchett's incite.

Jennifer Jaynes has rapidly moved into being one of my favourite authors, and I look forward to every release. Don't Say A Word was a terrific end to Allie's tale. I picked the ending early, but it didn't diminish the story for me as it's Ms Jaynes' great insight into character which makes her books so compelling. Loved it.

Richard Phillips is getting better with every book he publishes. Characters in the early books had little depth and he seemed to shy away from detail to avoid inconsistencies. The Kasari Nexus is a big step up, and I found myself looking for excuses to listen. He's not in the same class as someone like Sara King with respect to character and plot depth (the gold standard for the genre IMO), but I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

I enjoyed the story well enough. There's little depth to the characters and an excess use of cliches like C4 explosives, ex navy SEALs etc, but the basic plot is fun and moves along at a good pace. I didn't like the narration though - she spoke like she was reading a Little Golden Book to 6 year olds.

Natalie Ross captures the emotional confusion of Ali and the experienced confidence of Miss Bitty perfectly. Loved the story, and the performance added to the experience.
