A full cast performance is a trial to judge

Revisado: 07-19-20

Some of the performers were excellent, some were less enjoyable. The voice of Dane was the most grating and she was the protagonist. It tool a lot of getting used to, and I would prefer a single narrator, but that’s a personal preference. Objectively speaking the story itself is well enough and most of the performances were acceptable.

Brilliant, sweet and life changing, whether you’re a fan or not!

Revisado: 05-15-20

Although I am biased, (FELICIA DAY ROCKS) this book really surprised me! I mean yes, I did expect it to be very quirky and funny, and it totally delivered! But what I was not expecting was the realness, the vulnerability, the self care talk, and the power boost inspiration to follow my own dreams (and never down talk myself, and never discount my mental health) . I was vastly entertained, deeply touched and profoundly moved & inspired.

(I may also have also developed an incandescent fury, nay malicious violence, -rather than my former mild annoyance-towards internet trolls and their life threatening ways towards female gamers, celebs, and Miss Day specifically.)

This book, and Felicia Day’s performance reading her own delicious words, shares a mental shelf in my psyche with my other favorites (including, but not limited to Lord of the Rings) now and FOREVER.

Fantastic! Historically insightful!

Revisado: 05-08-20

Entertaining as always, historically intriguing, and deliciously detailed! The undoubtable duo of Kerry Greenwood & Stephanie Daniel has knocked this one out of the park!...again!
Such consistency would be dull anywhere but here!

Meandering, articulate, crass, entertaining romp

Revisado: 03-13-20

Not only did this book teach me a lot about a healthy successful romantic relationship, but I also got to learn a lot about two of my very favorite entertainers, and their very different upbringings. Absolutely splendid, if meandering, totally hilarious, satisfyingly articulate, entertaining ride!

A bit meandering

Revisado: 02-22-20

A bit meandering and tense, not the fun romp as the usual Christmas story, and very much lacking in wrapping up the Markum story it started with, but enjoyable enough.

The last 20 minutes almost made me quit

Revisado: 02-07-20

What a fantastic ride! But the last 20 minutes gave me such a punch to the gut, so much anxiety, depression and rage (what? I get caught up in the characters!) I was swearing to to listen to a single book more in this series!



But....the last 5 minutes redeemed (almost) the devastating betrayal I had just suffered and I may yet be willing to read a sequel.

Superb writing, flawless performance

Revisado: 11-13-19

Kerry Greenwood delivers again! I enjoyed the intimate and educational glimpses into world war one Paris, they were thoughtful, poignant, beautiful, and heart wrenching. I enjoyed imagining what kind of research was necessary to bring all of that so vibrantly to life. And Miss Stephanie Daniel‘s performance enriched every nuanced phrase.

Ps. I learn new vocabulary with almost every book, and I can’t tell you how satisfying that is to my English major’s soul!

Brilliant performance, formulaic plot, fun journey

Revisado: 10-19-19

Brilliant performance as usual by the amazing Zara Ramm!

*Spoiler Alert


I am pretty fatigued of the old “Ronin showing up unexpectedly, kidnapping Max, ruining everything, and inexplicably getting away again.” formula.
But
the journey is a joy as usual:
Adventure! History! Suspense! Survival! Manipulation! Devastation! Triumph! And lots of fantastic humor! (My favorite) Max has such a well developed voice! I’m a great fan of the characters and the way the stories unfold.
It’s a ride!

Fantastically written, a bit slurpyily read

Revisado: 10-06-19

For the love of all that is holy Miss Daniel, will you PLEASE EDIT your audio of swallows, slurps and wet mouth smacks?! PLEASE.
Otherwise beautifully performed.
