Great mystery

Revisado: 08-29-20

I was worried that this series would sort of Peter out, becoming less interesting as it went, but I was happily wrong. This was a great mystery and still managed character development even 15 books in. Really enjoyed and do recommend. You could definitely start here, too, though you wouldn’t have all the context.

Amazing Series Just Continues to Get Better

Revisado: 12-22-15

When I first started reading this series I thought there was no way the reviews could be right about their quality. I was wrong. This series somehow just gets better as it goes on. The plot is awesome, character development amazing and the narration of this series can't be beat. Love it. On to the next one!

a favorite with excellent narration

Revisado: 12-14-15

I love Pride and Prejudice. I read it at least once a year. When I heard that Rosamund Pike was doing a reading of it I knew that I had to indulge in buying yet another copy. It was completely worth it. If you've never read Pride and Prejudice I recommend starting with this version and narration. It is glorious. if you've read it before and loved it, I'd recommend it as well. Rosamund does the prose justice with her lovely voice and diction.

fun and interesting new series

Revisado: 10-12-15

fun story with an interesting plot line and fun cast of characters. I liked that the story line was about more than just the murder.

such improvement in this performance!

Revisado: 05-08-15

I have listened to all of the Dresden books and was incredibly dissatisfied with the narrator chosen for this book originally (not James Marsters despite the fact he's done all the others). I recognize now that this dissatisfaction colored my perception of this book. Really enjoyed the book and re-listen.

good story building

enjoyed the mystery. I appreciate the way that Blake builds up the story and then gets to the mystery. it's a nice change from the opening murder plot.

very enjoyable

Revisado: 04-06-15

really enjoyed this start to a new cozy. This narrator always sounds like she has serious sinus problems but that didn't get in the way of my listening. plot was interesting and a bit different. really liked that Katie didn't get everything she wanted. wasn't your typical happily ever after.

loved it

Revisado: 04-01-15

this was a reread for me, but I lived these books as a teen and am really enjoying them a second time around. I like the magic system and world building though sometimes the time lines can be a bit confusing.

great epic fantasy

Revisado: 02-10-15

I originally read these books in the mid 90s when I was in high school and am now rereading using the audio book. first of all the narration is great. Modesitt uses onomatopoeias a lot and it really works in text and in the audiobook. I feel that on the other side of 15 years this book holds up well as the start of a great epic fantasy series. I'll be continuing my reread using audiobooks.

Okay story ruined by bad narration

Revisado: 12-20-14

Would you try another book from Lorna Barrett and/or Karen White?

I would definitely buy another book from Lorna Barrett, but I have no interest in listening to Karen White ever again. Karen routinely called one of the main characters, and in some instances even the main character, by the wrong name - I don't know if this was a problem with the text or with her narration. But it was confusing. It made it difficult to follow the plot lines or understand what was actually happening. Also her Texas accent for one of the characters was grating.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Karen White?

I liked the previous narrator, Cassandra Campbell.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoy this series, but I feel like the story has started to flounder. Tricia has been questioning how she feels about her life but she is just lamenting about it, she's not doing anything to rectify it.
