Satisfying Ending

Revisado: 02-19-25

I was very happy with the ending and now I feel sad, as I had become friends with these characters over the course of the three books. Wool is still the best of the three, in my opinion, but this book is exciting and most story lines are brought to a satisfying conclusion. I felt frustrated at times — maybe too many miscommunications or non-communications between key characters (c’mon Donny!) Maybe a few too many “will they make it” moments that just got tiring. But still worth the read, and I’ll be thinking about this for a long time. Narration was wonderful. Gentle, but exciting, and I always knew when Juliette was speaking. Amazing how he does that!

Wow

Revisado: 01-09-25

I love the Mistborn series. This one was even better than the first, which took a while to get going, understandably. There was a lot to introduce in the first book but this one could take off at a rapid pace. Brilliant storylines.

One of her best!

Revisado: 10-02-24

I fully enjoyed this book. I love the slight tangent away from Matt Ballard to others on the fen. Joy Ellis really gets deeper into fascinating folklore that she seamlessly weaves into her murder mysteries and brilliant character studies. Definitely one of my favorites from this author.

Great characters, original plot

Revisado: 07-13-24

Exciting storyline but with lots of time for character building. I enjoyed this book. Slight criticism: there are too many characters and it’s tough to keep track of everyone. But it doesn’t get in the way of understanding the main plot line. Love the originality

Emotional powerhouse

Revisado: 05-24-24

Beautifully written and devastatingly emotional. If you’ve read the first two, you’ll want to read this one, too. Funny, heartbreaking, tragic and uplifting all at once. I’ll always think about these books

Ok not great

Revisado: 05-19-24

The story kept stalling to the point that I felt like I was reading through thick mud. I kept feeling like I was missing information and wasn’t sure if it just hadn’t been presented yet, or if I had actually missed it. I kept waiting for some big reveals but nothing too exciting happened. I kept waiting for there to be more to Nia…and then there wasn’t. The narrator did a pretty good job but BOY can she NOT do an English accent. And I thought it was supposed to be a Welsh accent? Not even close. Ok for a free read, but I wouldn’t waste a credit on it.

Wanted to stop but couldn’t

Revisado: 05-11-24

I was pretty disturbed by this one and wanted to stop, but I also wanted to find out what happened, so I kept going. It was very well written, and the characters were well developed. It could get pretty dark and uncomfortable at times. Narrators were all great, especially Nicola Walker! But I couldn’t figure out why the characters kept switching voices…it wasn’t obvious to me who was talking sometimes. Otherwise, it’s a good listen but not really much fun.

Entertaining and worth your time

Revisado: 05-08-24

I enjoyed this book. It’s not great literature, but for what it is, it’s fun and entertaining. Maybe I’m dumb, but I didn’t expect the twists in the end, so that was fun. I only marked it down a star because the main character was pretty dense and frustrating, but I guess it works for the storyline…but I found it hard to deal with at times! I really liked the narrator, who has a pretty good range of voices so I always knew who was talking. She can’t do a Long Island accent at all, but who cares. I’d recommend for a fun read. Oh, and if you like stories tied up in a bow, skip the epilogue.

So repetitive and boring!!

Revisado: 05-02-24

I couldn’t get through it. I listened for hours and finally decided to skip to the end and that was fine. So many repeated feelings over and over. The narrator did a very good job, though. I would not waste a credit on it unless you want something to numb your brain
