The story was brilliant

Revisado: 10-17-24

She is not a narrator. She speaks too quickly, she doesn't give her own narrative weight. Damn shame. The story is brilliant

Fantastic story, inconsistent narration

Revisado: 11-29-17

Sanderson wrote an amazing book, Kramer and Reading both have odd corners of their performances, though; different pronunciations of common names between the two, weird opposite gender voices. not terrible but a little weird. Otherwise fantastic.

Gripping, hilarious and sad. It cannot be skipped. You will love this story. I could not turn it off.

Immature Writing

Revisado: 11-04-15

Inexpertly researched, "sight-only" description, clumsy characterization, rushed plot and a weak premise, coupled with modern sensibilities smeared over 20th century scenes and dialogue that makes characters indistinguishable from each other. I wanted so badly to love this book, but bad writing ruined it in only six chapters.

The music and narrator weren't

Revisado: 09-09-15

what I was hoping for. The narrator was decent, but a female voice might have been better. The quality of the recording was pretty mediocre.
The music was utterly inappropriate and annoying.
Otherwise Sabrial is an amazing story. I just wish it was better preformed.

A Great Insight Into Freelance Writing

Revisado: 08-28-15

I found this book utterly fascinating. I was never a huge Laura Ingles Wilder fan as a child, but I'm now in love with Rose Wilder Lane. She was a pioneer for writing women everywhere.
Mary Robinette Kowal is a fantastic narrator. She recommend this book on a podcast she contributes to, "Writing Excuses," and it was every bit as amazing as she said it was. Her southern accent is done just right. She never overplays the part, and she keeps her voice from varying in volume, (greatly appreciated for those of us listening with headphones).

The story was well written, with a very contemplative climax, and a real sense of the struggles freelance writers face. Ms. Albert has a mastery of prose, a deft hand with detail, and raises the everyday drama of the 'dirty 30's' with subtle grace that most historical fiction writers lack.
This may not be a great book for people looking for dramatized reenactments. This is an outstanding book for for any kind of writer though.

Exceptional, Profound, Addictive

Revisado: 08-16-15

This was the best book I have ever read. Every character has a complete arc, a foil, and the plot is wonderfully intricate and startling. This book occupies my thoughts, and feels so real, I swear I'd just come out of Pagford.
It is Rowling's masterpiece.

A bit mumbled

Revisado: 06-18-15

The story is fantastic but the narrator has a very low voice and his words sometimes become hard to catch. I had to listen to this book at higher volumes than normal to catch what was being said. Still, the performance wasn't bad, just quiet. There were unusually long pauses between sections that had me checking my app to make sure it was still running.
Take this as a review of the narrator. The story itself was very exciting and action-packed.

Even Better Than the First

Revisado: 04-29-15

Sanderson has written a book that pushed the limits of printing presses, but you wouldn't know by listening to this audiobook. The story positively flies by in this colorful, action-packed continuation of the Stormlight Archives. This is a new kind of epic fantasy, and while it's on just as big a scale, there is nothing sluggish about this story.

Amazing

Revisado: 03-30-15

Strongly written and gorgeously performed. I will listen to it again! The writing was lyrical and concise. It was powerful and romantic as well. I adored this book.
