Obvious Villain

Revisado: 09-17-24

So much about this series was enjoyable EXCEPT that the villain of the story was obvious from the very beginning. I can’t decide whether this is clumsy work or intentional. Did the author intend for us to know and be tortured through the whole series wondering just how these extraordinary assassins could fail to see what was so obvious or did the author think his audience was stupid?

Even so, I did enjoy this series. It was light and fun and not terribly tedious.

Loved all the characters. Particularly loved Duke and Mr Boots. Story is interesting and basically imaginative.

One of the best, series I’ve ever read.

Revisado: 12-14-22

I cried, I laughed and dreamed of adventures. Beautifully written Ed and preformed. I’ve read this series twice now and will again in the future. This series is Clare’s best.

Fletcher should never narrate one of his fine stories.

Revisado: 11-01-22

What a shame. A wonderful story almost completely ruined by the slurred narration by the author. Often it sounds like he has a mouth full of marbles. I won’t buy the next in the series because I see that it is also narrated by Fletcher.

Michael Kramer’s performance is flat.

Revisado: 10-09-22

Love the story but find that Mr Kramer’s narrative lacks life. Very monotone. Kate Reading is ok but I really loved the performance of Rosamund Pike in the first novel of the series, The Eye of the World.

Disappointed that de Cuir is still narrating

Revisado: 08-25-22

I find Gabrielle’s de Cuir’s reading to be so irritating and distracting. I hate how she read’s the male characters and for some reason her female narration sounds like she has something in her mouth. I have been hoping that she would be replaced in future books in the series, but no.

I love Stefan Rudnicki’s narration.

Started off great and then kinda fizzled

Revisado: 02-14-21

At first I thought that this was going to be a fantastic book. The introduction Lyria to the story was brilliant; the opening chapters were moving. And then we are draw into the uneasy telling of the tarnishing of our hero Darrow. Even that was a smart evolution. But the story dragged with Lysander and I feel like Darrow’s character is just one dimensional. One thing I wish the author would consider is integrating some humor, not too much. Just enough to provide some depth to the characters and a break from the drama.

Where it first started to fall apart for me had nothing to do with the story and everything to do with the weak production of the narration. The narrator of Lysander has a elegant voice but the delivery was flat and monotonous. Whoever directed his part failed him and us. The sound quality throughout was startlingly uneven. Very irritating. Tim Gerard Reynolds is a favorite and was enjoyable except for the poorly spliced areas. Overall the production was not good. This is the failing of production and not the narrators themselves.

So with such distracting sound and delivery issues I think it is fair to acknowledge that had the production been better, I might have enjoyed the book more. Unfortunately I have lost interest for now and may or may not bother with the rest of the series. Definitely going to take a break even though the world Pierce Brown has created in these books is fascinating.

Please a new narrator!

Revisado: 04-30-20

Jim Dale is a wonderful narrator for many works but not Harry Potter. His narration of Hermione is so disturbing that I can hardly stand it.
