Best one yet of the series

Revisado: 11-07-19

It took me a long time to start listening to these books that they had been recommended to me several years ago. I purchased my first one about three weeks ago and I have been binge listening ever since. I have really enjoyed the novelty of these books. I like how Harry Dresden isn’t all good. He has just enough bad so that sometimes things don’t quite go the way you think they should. I also am appreciating Harry’s growth through the books. He is learning from his experiences and becoming stronger and hopefully wiser.
I did not anticipate several of the twists and turns of the story. This book especially was a great ride and I am purchasing the next one right after I finish this review.

Tough to get through

Revisado: 06-18-16

The story was obvious and slow to build suspense. I put down this book for months before I finished it and was still bored by it. I did like the characters though and will listen to the next book

Good but short

Revisado: 05-21-16

Good book it answers questions from previous book. I like all the character development. It feels slightly rushed and could have been fleshed out.
I returned it because this version randomly fades out or just turn off at odd moments

This is really good

Revisado: 05-01-16

The story is engaging right from beginning.
The narrator is British and very good-- I didn't ever get tired of his voice.
Other reviewers have said there is no ending to this book but I found it very appropriate.
I couldn't stop listening and finished the book in two days.

Not their best

Revisado: 04-28-16

I've read many of Preston and Childs' books and they are fascinating reads. This one is good but really didn't hold me. I knew the end after the first chapter.

I couldn't put it away. Great narration

Revisado: 08-07-15

the story captured me quickly and Jack Davenport did a masterly job of narration. I'd buy more books just to hear his voice. The mystery kept me guessing. Very much like Dan Brown but with less gore and more humanity.

Whiny

Revisado: 06-08-15

The idea behind this book was interesting than enough that I actually listen to the first audible the innocent mage, And the second one. However, the awakened mage got so tiresome so quickly. The main character wines his way through the entire book. In fact it's so bad that I almost wish he would lose the magical battle at the end of the book just so I can have a brief moment of joy that he was no longer whining.

Also the ideas never well fleshed out The book reads for 20 hours before the final climax happens. the final climax is very brief, very underwhelming,very predictable.

Worst performance I've ever heard

Revisado: 07-04-14

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

I think the content is very good, but Joel Richards narration is so annoying i can't focus on the information. Joel reads with very little inflection and an odd cadence. This narration sounds like it is being done by a first grader learning to read out loud

How could the performance have been better?

Have anyone else do it
