This was definitely a book.

This was a very dramatic, very frustrating read. That being said, the performance was really good and I did generally enjoy the overall story.

Good but Narrator Mistake

Revisado: 05-31-22

I really liked the story. But this review is mostly about the narrators. The ones who read for Darrow and Ephraim were great. Although I must admit, Darrow’s narrator has always sounded too old for that character in my opinion. But I’m used to it, so moving on. Lysander’s narrator was also good, I guess. I just really dislike Lysander as a person.

Then there was the female narrator. She made several mistakes in the narration. She pronounced some things slightly different, but only on random, one off moments. At one point she pronounced the name Julii as “Julie” rather than “Julie-eye”, the way it’s always been pronounced. But it was only that one time, like she’d made a mistake. I might have ignored it but there were other minor things like that. At one point in the audio (3:53 minutes into chapter 26) she said the line “my brother’s best friend” when in the book it clearly read, “my husband’s best friend” when Virginia is referring to Sevro. I have a physical copy of the book an was reading and listening at the same time when I noticed that. I slowed it down to .5x and played it over again, and even made someone else listen to it. Sure enough, the line was read wrong. Small moments like that would momentarily take me out of the story. But in general she had a good reading voice so I’ll give her that.

This Narration Ain't It...

Revisado: 02-17-21

I liked the story. It was ok. Admittedly, I wanted more. I can't even tell you what I wanted more of, it's just that I didn't get exactly what I wanted. But, whatever. This is an audiobook review. Let's talk about narration. I didn't like it! In general, it was fine, but I hated the narration for Cassian. I just didn't like the way she read his dialogue. To be honest, all the characters lowkey sounded the same too. I listened to this while having a copy of the book in my hand because it's easier for me to read this when the narration is playing. If I didn't have the book in hand it would have been hard to distinguish character voices.

Overall, the book was ok. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Didn't Think I'd Love It, Thankfully I Was Wrong

Wonderful performance. Kept the story alive despite being extremely long. Also, just generally a great and interesting story.

Meh.

Revisado: 10-02-18

My expectations for this book were great. The book itself was pretty bland though. I have to admit, the performance was wonderful, sadly, the story was just not for me. I would certainly get another audiobook read by this narrator!

Wonderful Book!

Revisado: 10-02-18

I tried reading it by myself before getting the audiobook and I wasn't all that into it. The moment that I got the audiobook and started listening I was entirely engrossed in the story. The narrator was fantastic and the story was itself was wonderful. I loved the complexity of the world. I can't wait for the sequel!

I loved this so much more than I ever imagined! The story is brilliant and the performance completely brought it to life. I was perpetually engaged and thoroughly entertained. I highly recommend this one!

Only 4 Minutes!

Revisado: 02-19-18

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

When I downloaded it I read that it said it was the UNABRIDGED version! Why was it only four minutes? If it had said "sample" I wouldn't have gotten it!
