Historia
Just when I thought I'd overcome the biggest obstacles my fae mates and I could face, I find myself in the hands of their greatest enemies. Enemies who have far more power than we ever imagined. Enemies who hold so much more sway over my life than I want to believe. I have to escape, and not just to warn the men I love and defend the home I've made with them. The longer I remain, the more these villains can use me to destroy everything I care about. If I fail now, the entire faerie world will crumble.

Predictable; meh
Revisado: 03-24-25
OK, so, I listened to all nine books so it couldn’t have been that bad but, honestly, starting with the fourth book in this nine-book series it was like, “Again?” By the time I got to book seven I’m fairly certain I literally thought, ‘she’s not seriously going to add another mate’ (I’m talking about the author), but she did. It was ridiculous, honestly. It likely would have been much better had she not started out the series with so many during the first three books. I felt like it would have been a little better if there were more one-on-one scenes or tensions and conflicts and I’m not just talking about the romance scenes. At the end I was trying to speed listen through it. My mind would wander but it was quite clear what was going to happen so I didn’t feel like I missed anything. The scenes between Talia and all of her mates felt forced, and, silly. I’m just the kind of person who had a very hard time stopping a series once I start one.
Regarding the performance, Both narrators didn’t try to differentiate the male characters sufficiently. I found myself rewinding back to the beginning of each chapter many times to hear the POV character’s name stated to help put the scene into context. I kinda wish they had put more thought into each character’s personality and the inflection of their voice. It almost made me wish I had read it rather than listen to this audiobook.

Enjoyed it but slow?

I changed the play speed to 1.1 to 1.2 Xs so it felt normal. It was long enough as-is. LOL But well performed. Was a bit predictable too.

The conclusion of the Mistborn trilogy fulfills all the promise of the first two books. Revelations abound, connections rooted in early chapters of the series click into place, and surprises, as satisfying as they are stunning, blossom like fireworks to dazzle and delight. It all leads up to a finale unmatched for originality and audacity that will leave listeners shaking their heads in wonder, as if awaking from an amazing dream.

Stunning Ending to a Wonderfully Written Series
Revisado: 12-28-24
There’s nothing more I can say about this series and its beautifully written conclusion that hasn’t already been said. So, I’ll just nudge the 4.8 overall rating closer to the 5 that it deserves. Loved it.

Beautiful story. Great narration.
Revisado: 11-11-24
Someone else very aptly titled their review something like the Princess Bride meets Dr. Who and I whole heartedly agree.
It’s a seemingly sweet and adventure filled story with endearing characters who start out seemingly simple and grow beautifully as the story progresses. There’s lots of heart and humor throughout and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Chris Davenport was also very well suited as the story’s sarcastic, wry narrator. I recall first hearing his voice as the villain in a different story. It stood out to me because it was a role so well performed it oozed evil. And had I read this book rather than listen to an audio version I’m fairly certain I never would have imagined him as the narrator but he was truly superb. I LOVED his narration. And, will now seek out more stories narrated by him.

Historia
Something has always been missing from my life. A hole that I could never seem to fill. When I accidentally turn a coven of witches into nightmares, I find out what that something is. Magic. And it turns out, I have a crap load of it. As a latent power awakens deep inside of me, I’m exposed to one of the most powerful and corrupt organizations in the magical world—the Mages’ Guild. Barely knowing a spell from a few swear words and luck, I won’t be able to evade them alone. And that’s when I meet him.

Good, but Penny is too young & naive
Revisado: 10-03-24
I really enjoyed the previous 3 dramatic audios in the DDVN series so was hopeful I’d enjoy this one too. And while it was OK, Penny and her romance with Emery didn’t sit well with me. Either Penny was written with the personality and behaviors of a perky 12-yr old or she was played that way by the voice actor. I think she’s supposed to be in her early 20’s, maybe 24, while Emery is maybe 28 and has a war-weary persona. I’m glad the romantic scenes didn’t go all in. Hopefully she’ll undergo a serious character arc with lots of growth over the course of this series and will come out less naive and childlike in the end.
Overall, this series still remains well cast and performed. The voices actors and sound effects bring it to life.

When Roger, the alpha of the North American pack, shows up at my door with the news that a demon has made it to the Underworld with knowledge of me, some hard decisions have to be made. Do I stay above ground, with all my magical friends, and wait for the battle to come to me? Or do I seek the demon out, and pluck the threat out by the root? I don’t want my friends to die on my behalf. I could never live with myself. But if I venture into the Underworld, it’ll be the most perilous journey of my life. This time, it isn’t just my life hanging in the balance, it is my eternity.

Super fun listen. Great acting!
Revisado: 09-27-24
I only recently started listening to dramatized audios so I’ve only listened to a few series but this has one of the best performances so far. I didn’t even think I’d like anything with vampires but the first book was so well performed I was hooked. It’s so much like listening to a movie and I liken this series to “The Fall Guy” with all the action, some mystery, and definitely humor. Great light fun without the weight that other novels have.
With this third book I’m still greatly entertained and I’m so happy there was a good dose of Darius in this one. I love Gabriel Michael’s voice. I hope he remains a prominent character in later books.

Supernatural Bounty Hunter isn’t the sort of thing you see on LinkedIn. But with a rare type of magic like mine, I don’t have many options. So dangerous or not, the job is mine. And it was going fine, until an old as sin vampire stole my mark, and with it, my pay day.

Great Performance! Listening to it AGAIN!
Revisado: 09-24-24
Every character feels so perfectly casted. Reagan, voiced by Alyssa Keegan, is perfectly snarky and irreverent, tough, but thoughtful at all the right places. Darius, voiced by Gabriel Michael, oozes with haughtiness, age, and disdain. Loved him first in Fourth Wing and had to find more audios he did. I now might have another voice actor I follow through Alyssa K, given she likely voices female characters I can get behind.
I don’t lean towards vampire stories at all - my library is filled with Sci-Fi - but this is funny, well written, well developed (just enough that it doesn’t hinder the story’s action) and VERY well acted. Given how well its acted I suspect I’m enjoying this dramatic audio better than had I read it myself.
I’m not even done with this book but already can’t wait to get the next audio.
Update: listening for the second time and have to say I love Callie and Dizzy! Their back and forth is so funny, and Dizzy’s lines especially always make me laugh. This is a great series and would highly recommend.

Kept getting better
Revisado: 09-23-24
It was a good story, well written, and engaging. Somewhat bittersweet as the world faces its doom yet narrowly escapes it. It’s somewhat thought provoking, exciting, and not too heavy.
But what stood out most was the performance. While some of the foreign accents could have been better as the story progressed the overall performance just fell into a groove. At one point I actually thought to myself how effortless it felt. All the characters felt defined, their own voices consistent and clear, and it just flowed. I really enjoy this narrator / voice actor.

Historia
High school senior Silas Bruer is at his last licks of patience with his terrible and painfully underwhelming life. He is pummeled at school, his girlfriend dumps him, and his piss-poor excuse of a father sends him out on an errand late at night that gets him a stalker on his tail. To make matters worse, the stalker has a vendetta against him, one that leaves Silas mutilated in an alleyway by a dumpster and a half-eaten pizza from Antonio's Pizza Parlor. Death by a mysterious skull-faced titan was inevitable but only temporary. When he wakes up again, he is isekai'd to a fantasy world.

Enjoyable, dramatic performance
Revisado: 09-19-24
Decent story. I’m not a big reader / listener so don’t want to critique the writing too much but it did feel inconsistent yet it still kept my interest. I’m looking forward to the next book and was disappointed when it ended. Reminded me of Ready Player One since the main character is essentially inside a video game with his own levels and experience points. This is only the second story I’ve listened to / read like this so don’t know how common the video game setting is.
The performance was really dramatic and the number of different characters and accents was incredible. Very impressed by the range. At times you couldn’t tell it’s the same voice actor. My one gripe is his rendition of female characters. While it’s narrated by both Gabriel Michael and Melody Muze she only narrated maybe two short parts focused on a specific character. Gabriel Michael did the rest, and very well overall. I just didn’t care for his portrayal of the females. At times they sounded catty when it was clear from the dialogue they weren’t. It grew on me, tho. And despite that, I’m still interested in getting book 2!

Nesta Archeron has always been prickly-proud, swift to anger, and slow to forgive. And ever since being forced into the Cauldron and becoming High Fae against her will, she's struggled to find a place for herself within the strange, deadly world she inhabits. Worse, she can't seem to move past the horrors of the war with Hybern and all she lost in it. The one person who ignites her temper more than any other is Cassian, the battle-scarred warrior whose position in Rhysand and Feyre's Night Court keeps him constantly in Nesta's orbit. But her temper isn't the only thing Cassian ignites.

Revisado: 09-02-24
So, yes, loved loved loved Nesta’s character arch especially considering that there’s so much potential for future storylines. This was definitely my favorite of the entire series, both the written story and the performances in this dramatic graphic audio. I honestly had a hard time getting through the first few audios. But, this one is excellent.
But keep your ear on Gwyn’s character and performance, especially in that scene near the end (you’ll know). Just WOW. It was heartfelt, a true tear jerker. And, maybe the voice actors had a chance to work off one another (?) for this book because it was performed amazingly well by all, especially those last few scenes. I hope to hear more from Gwyn in upcoming books because of how well she was performed.
