Poor narration

Revisado: 10-17-24

Sometimes it pays to hire a professional voice actor to read your book. Maguire has no talent for dialects and Glinda is particularly annoying.

Fun twists!

Revisado: 05-22-24

This is a cute story with fun twist and turns, as well as some sweet romance. The narrator is excellent!

Poor narrator okay story

Revisado: 11-05-23

Story is just okay. The writer would do well to trim the fluff and stop describing unnecessary details. Narrator misses. She has whiny female voices, and sometimes she doesn’t put the emphasis on the correct words. That is very annoying.

Don’t waste your time

Revisado: 05-27-23

This story starts out as if it will be filled with action, then devolves into a Harlequin Romance: “my body betrays me”, “every fiber of my being…” awful.

Poor Narration hire a professional

Revisado: 10-05-22

The narrator made a great number of mistakes in pronunciation, as well as technical mistakes: repeating sentences she had already read ( she had obviously taken a break in recording but did not check where she left off). There is very little vocal difference between characters. The story itself is a bit maudlin. Glad I did not pay for this one.

Learn to pronounce words and place names

Revisado: 06-30-22

The narrator is fine in terms of tempo and finding some differing accents for the characters. However it is exceedingly jarring when she mispronounces certain place names: Magdalen College in Oxford should sound like “Maudlin” for example. Not overwhelming but annoying nonetheless.

Too many similes

Revisado: 06-01-22

The story is fine. The influence of other authors is obvious, but the trope works. The writing is a bit simple and the use of similes is overwhelming. Reads like a high school assignment.

Horrible, garbled narration

Revisado: 05-21-22

I cannot rate the story because I cannot get past the first chapter. The narrator has a weird way of pausing after every few words which is annoying enough, but his character voices are often unintelligible. Horrid.

Annoying narrator

Revisado: 04-09-22

Why this narrator makes gulping noses between sentences, I will never know, but it is very annoying. She also shifted the feel of the character from a free spirited, adventurous lady to a Victorian snob. I miss Susan O’Malley’s narration of the previous few books.

Feels too scattered

Revisado: 10-17-21

I enjoy the premise, but this feels like a series of short stories strung together. It is unsettling to switch from the first story about Jack the Ripper to the next unrelated story. I kept waiting for the Jack the Ripper story to have an impact on e rest of the book, but, nope. Feels like something cobbled together from college creative writing assignments. I hope the next book is better, but then I had also hoped this was going to be better than the first book- alas, no.
