One of the best Oregon stories in a long while!

Revisado: 10-17-24

This fast paced and intriguing Oregon adventure adds new layers to the known and loved crew and ship - and it is simply a riveting story with a plot line that keeps suspense high from start to finish.

Not a Nora Kelly story

Revisado: 08-30-23

This isn't a bad story - it actually has a lot of great aspects. But it isn't about Nora Kelly. It focuses primarily on FBI agent C. Swanson. It is her path through events that drive the plot, and her fate that is at the centre of events.

The narrator is getting a lot of criticism in the reviews. I don't think she did that badly, but it IS difficult to tell her character voices apart at times. I would listen to the next installment with the samr narrator - she did okay.

The ending of the story lets down its potential. It wraps up too quickly (under 40 mins) and too predictably with no real twists or turns to make it interesting. And at the end of it all, Nora Kelly hasn't really been integral to anything.

Surprisingly engaging and unpredictable

Revisado: 11-30-22

Didn't know what to expect from this one. Definitely got my credit's worth. This is a really interesting and unusual story. The plot and characters are anything but cookie cutter, and Scott Brick just adds that extra bit of personality to the narration that makes it all come alive.

This is a story that doesn't go where you think it will go. It exceeds expectations. Give it a try - you won't regret it!

Epic story!

Revisado: 08-25-22

The epic of Imriel continues in new places with new intricate plots unfurling along the way. Vance gives a masterful performance as narrator, complementing Carey's engaging writing with a host of well crafted accents and inflections to form distinct and rich portrayals of the characters. A fantastic listen - just like the rest of the series.

Another epic begins

Revisado: 08-25-22

Carey is a master at crafting compelling stories that sucks you in. Best of all, the richness and uniqueness of the characters and plotlines means the story is full of quirks and surprises that keep you engaged and curious.

This book is the first of three (stand-alone trilogy) about Imriel - but if you haven't already read the preceeding trilogy (Kushiel's Dart, Kushiel's Chosen, Kushiel's Avatar) then I recommend you start there. It will give you a far better introduction to the entire world and cast of characters. Trust me - it is well worth it!

Thrilling conclusion to an epic tale

Revisado: 08-25-22

I never wanted this book to end. The characters are gripping and you cannot help but 'live' their lives along side them as you read. Carey artfully ties together a multitude of plot lines to spin a worthy end to this epic trilogy and set the stage for the next one (Kushiel's Scion, Kushiel's Justice, Kushiel's Mercy). Nothing disappoints - except the fact that it has to end at all. This is an epic page turner that you will read again and again.

Impossible to put down

Revisado: 08-25-22

This book is (like all the others in this series) impossible to put down. Carey is an absolute master at crafting stories which pulls you in and refuses to let you go.

Eloquent, intriguing and demanding

Revisado: 08-25-22

This first book in the Kushiel's Legacy series is an epic tale of love, politics and loyalty. It isnot an easy listen. You *have* to pay attention because the devil is in the detail, and if you think to glaze over it with the aim of being spoon-fed entertainment, this book is not for you. This entite series is not for you.

This book - and series - is beautifully crafted, full of intricate plot lines, amazing and believable characters and worldbuilding that is on par with with the best fiction writers. Be prepared to grit your teeth at the protagonist and adore the antagonists. And be prepared to come away with a story that stays with you long, long after you have finished it.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough. The one slight, slight drawback being the narrator whose diction truly gives life to the characters (and is CONSISTENT in pronounciation and names throughout the series) but does struggle some with especially the Skaldi accents. But it takes nothing away from the story - nothing.

Too much Swedish chef

Revisado: 10-23-21

I can't say whether this is a good story. The narrator makes it impossible to listen to. It sounds like he took lessons on languages and accents from the Swedish chef from the Muppets. It is THAT bad. Over the top and to the point where the seemingly random jumps from exaggerated accent to even more exaggerated accent makes it so difficult to figure out who is talking that it completely distorts any attempt at following the storyline.

Of the hundreds of audiobooks with a multitude of narrators, both trained pros and authors doing their own narration, that I have listened to over the years, this stands out as the absolute worst. I honestly don't know how it ever made it out of production.

This is not a Pendergast story

Revisado: 09-11-21

Sure. It may have agents Pendergast and Coldmoon and Constance as main characters, but the storyline is ridiculous, disjointed and so far from what made the Pendergast series so unique and interesting to begin with it feels like the authors should have stopped writing on this series several books ago.

And the new narrator (no east task following Rene Auberjonois) makes it a drag to listen to. Constance is somehow sounding like an angry old woman and many of the characters have accents so exaggerated it is hard to listen to.

I wish the series had stopped rather than having been allowed to wash out like this.
