Would you listen to The Cloud Roads again? Why?

I've listened to The Cloud Roads three times now. In anticipation of The Edge of Worlds (book 4 of the Raksura series, which Audible hasn't announced they will be doing yet), I will probably do a complete re-listen of all three main timeline books.

Moon is a very relatable main character. Even though he's not human (and no one in these books is), his very realistic view of the way people are and his very justified paranoia are charming from day one to the last page of book three. Looking through his eyes, you feel his yearning to trust others very strongly, but past experience tells him he can't. If you've had difficulties in your life, you will feel for him.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Cloud Roads?

Moon confessing his worst memory to Jade.

What about Christopher Kipiniak’s performance did you like?

Christopher Kipiniak is the absolute. perfect. narrator. I can't imagine Moon sounding any differently than the way that he plays him. He manages great subtlety and has a quietness, a dangerous quality to dialogue, that is completely essential to the Raksura, particularly the big and powerful Queens. His female voices are interesting and never falsetto, which helps a LOT toward keeping the flow. You will never be jarred by his voice, though each voice is distinct.

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

I have listened to it all in one sitting. All fifteen hours of it, starting from 7am on my commute to work, through work, through lunch, after work, sitting with my family through dinner, and ending in bed. I'm telling you. You won't stop. You'll just be chilling in the Three Worlds with the Raksura.

Any additional comments?

Listen to these. Then go buy the books, either from Nightshade press directly or Amazon, or some other lovely independent bookstore. Support this series by not buying used, even if you are a poor student like me. c;

Would you consider the audio edition of Stories of the Raksura, Volume 2 to be better than the print version?

I haven't read it in print, but I have always enjoyed the audio book version of this series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Stories of the Raksura, Volume 2?

The incredible sadness I felt for the groundling people in The Dead City, once it's revealed what happened there.

What about Christopher Kipiniak’s performance did you like?

Everything about it. See my reviews of the book series proper for more detail, but I adore him and the way he does voices of all these characters.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
