Absolutely made me laugh when I least expected it

Revisado: 08-03-23

Absolutely loved the whole series From book 1 to book 7. The first several minutes I thought "Oh Joy, not another boring story that will be good for falling asleep to" then it hit and I was sold. I laughed and over all got into the story. I didnt want the series to end. I feel there is more and I want it. Those "Fecking Puma's" even have me doing Puma checks now. Loved the way the performance was delivered by Johnathan McClain. To me it was a perfect match to the story.

Would you listen to Schooled in Magic again? Why?

Plan to listen to the whole series again as part of my book listening cycle

What did you like best about this story?

The better question for me was what didn't i like about it. What I liked was the length of it. I shy away from books that are less than 7 or 8 hours listen don't feel i get my moneys worth. But this series captivated me as she went from earth to another world that was the same only different. Where magic did play a part in everyday life and new non magical idea's were introduced. There is so much more i could write chapters but wont bore you.

What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

This is the first book where a female actually was the narrator. Most of the books i listen are men. But She brought a new experience to the listening. if i had just read the book i would have been in monotone mode and might have gotten bored with it. She was great with the voices and change of characters.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

If i could have Yes. I listen to it on my hour drive to work and back home and then i set aside at least thirty minutes at bed time to listen.

Any additional comments?

Very pleased i took a chance to get this series

Would you listen to The Sword of Summer again? Why?

Enjoy all the Rick Riordan books and will listen to this one again. Story is outstanding loved it all. Yes the narrator was a little dry and hard to get started but if you tone out the parts of the bad narration and listen to the story the narration does not matter.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Sword of Summer?

There are too many to name them all and if you haven't read it then don't want to spoil it. but Valhalla is a major part of it and that tree, wow if only.

Did Christopher Guetig do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

not really sometimes accents of one ended up with another and sometimes when it was a female talking it was a mans voice until he realized it then changed on next sentence.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I don't cry reading or listening to books so no crying.... but it did make me laugh in parts and kept me in suspense for others

Any additional comments?

Regardless of what each Reader or Listener thinks, it is their opinion and their taste but some things are universal and you should form your own opinion. I personally think that if you like all the other series from author then you will like this as well. I can't wait for the next one in the series.
