Heartbreaking that Whispersync is absent

Revisado: 09-09-16

This may well be my favorite in the series. Jamie has not yet become an unreasonable, brooding thug, and the whole clan is living happily in the past. As usual, both the writing and the performance were terrific, but it was cumbersome to synchronize the kindle edition with the audible, since alone among the books in the main series this one is not set up for whispersync. FIX THIS, AMAZON!

First time using WhisperSync, very pleased

Revisado: 07-22-16

I am rereading the entire set of Outlander novels, and took advantage of an Audible sale to pick up many of the Audible versions at a very reasonable price to supplement the Kindle versions that I already owned. This is the first book that I read using WhisperSync to switch between reading and listening, and I was mightily impressed with how smoothly it works. Nice Job! As to the book, I cannot believe how much adventure there is packed into one novel. It literally beggars my imagination. These novels (and the side novels involving Lord John et al) are the best fiction value for money that I have ever encountered. Love! Romance! Pirates! History! Thank you, Diana Gabaldon!

Felix castor series is addictive

Revisado: 05-15-16

I've never been drawn into a book series on Audible before. Now I have to listen to all of the Felix Castor novels. Oh, well. At least my Audible subscription choices for the next few months are accounted for.

Sadly, I am now addicted to Mike Carey

Revisado: 05-15-16

I wasn't expecting to get drawn into this book the way that I had been with The girl with all the gifts or with Fellside. The former blew me away, and ultimately so did the latter. I had been struck with Carey's masterful composition of compelling female characters, and I had been impressed with Finty Williams' operatic, restrained narration. So I found Michael Kramer's posh, condescending narration a little jarring at first. But then it grew on me, and I found myself listening obsessively to continue the novel. I never listen at home, only when commuting to or from work. At home, I read. The only exception is Caitlin Moran's How to be a woman, which I've heard now three times. But I listened to this on dog walks, and finished it in record time. A terrific listen.

Gripping, beautifully performed

Revisado: 04-21-16

This story built slowly, revealing its secrets at a measured pace. By the middle, I couldn't stop listening. Finty Williams' performance is operatic.

Now I am a Joe Abercrombie fan

Revisado: 10-26-14

Abercrombie wrapped this trilogy up as neatly as I could ever have hoped. I was not a big fan of the fantasy genre before, but I'll definitely be reading / listening to more Joe Abercrombie in the future.

Steven Pacey shines!

Revisado: 10-26-14

Things really picked up in this second book. You really come to care about the characters.

Steven Pacey is the best narrator on Audible

Revisado: 10-26-14

This was a fun book (and it gets more fun in the second and third books of this trilogy). But Steven Pacey's narration is what made this a great audiobook. His characters are wonderful, and his narration is unhurried and genuine. I wish that there was even more Steven Pacey to listen to.
