Meh…not as good as other series

Revisado: 01-26-23

I have enjoyed other Molly Harper series Ie: Mystic Bayou, Naked Werewolf and have enjoyed them. This one landed a little flat. Maybe as it develops more depth:characters it will improve.

Ugh. Disappointing

Revisado: 07-20-20

If you Hate liberals you might find this book amusing. But I doubt it. So disappointing. I love Larry Correia’s writing and I’ve read many of his books. If I had known this was a rant against liberalism I would have passed.

I almost gave up ...

Revisado: 04-27-19

I loved his first series with outstanding characters, woven story lines and dry witty banter. I was grumblingly disappointed as I slogged through the first 4 hours of this one. Where had the wit and, well, goodness gone? Could I have been wrong about how good the last series was? Even the narrator seemed dry and somewhat monotonous. Then somewhere around hour 4 every started to fall together and the foundation laid during the beginning of the book paid off and the next 12.5 hours were Mr. Sullivan’s fantastic world with everything one could want in a book; action, drama, humor , the whole package. And the narration was great too, each character distinct and powerfully portrayed using tone and inflection.

And while the end of the book is a cliff hanger, I felt like I left the table full and satisfied. Not like I’d been fed a third of a book, having to read the rest of the series to bring closure to a critical story arc. Rather the “cliff hanger” felt like a segue into a new melange of stories a adventures.

Looking forward to continuing on with this series.

Hooked

Revisado: 01-12-19

I tend to be pretty choosy about how I spend my credits. I got the first of the series on sale. I looked through my local library to see if I could download any of the books but could not. And I couldn’t forget the story so now I believe I have the first five.

Another in a great series

Revisado: 01-12-19

I love this series. I got hooked on the first one. I usually look to see if I can get something out of the library before I buy it this is the nay place I’ve found it.

Let Me Tell You About My Friend’s Dream

Revisado: 12-29-18

It’s kinda like that.
Developing a character is more than just describing their same shallow feelings repeatedly.
It’s not terrible, but it’s not listen in a couple sessions. Listening to 1/2 hour a day will be plenty. Maybe that would mitigate the cyclical and repetitive nature of the story.

Listen to it at .75x for a better experience

Revisado: 12-27-18

I see a lot of people have complained about the narrator, however personally I think it’s obvious that the producers sped up her narration of the book. Listening to it at 75% of normal speed is just about right. Of course if you really don’t like the story then you’re just prolonging the agony. But I found the book to be ok, not like ones that I’ve had to return within an hour. Better than some, worse than others. It was good for just listening to in the background while I worked.

It just gets better

Revisado: 12-05-18

Great stuff. The depth of character development makes the books so much more interesting. And the story lines are clear and mesh and intertwined masterfully . Ms Huff always had a great story, but I think her writing has steadily improved over the years.



Thanks!

weak

Revisado: 09-18-15

What disappointed you about Bloodfire?

The storyline was weak and didn't really hold up. The "heroine" has to be saved. It might make an ok pre-teen book if the swearing was left out. It might be one of those books that works better as a read rather than a listen too. There is a lot of repetition......we get it, if the brethren find out she is human it's a problem.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

All of the main character's emotions are more or less in the same slightly breathy tone.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It was shorter than some
