Love the story - not a fan of the graphic audios

Revisado: 02-21-25

Huge fan of the audio books. And Nicole Poole does an amazing job giving the characters unique and interesting voices.
I was excited for the graphic audio versions because I love listening to live actors too... But it's pretty tough to get through these.
Some of the voices are just too irritating - like Niamh.
And now Broken Sue? Is Scottish? seriously? why? just why? where did that even come from?

Disappointing change in narrator

Revisado: 09-06-24

This one was long... too many characters with conflicting paths. Seems like she's writing more twists and turns just to make longer books. It might be that I'm getting bored with the series... But the narrator change was the last bit that puts me off. The narrator was fine... just not Eve and others.

Story was weak and narration didn’t help

Revisado: 12-08-22

The only reason I listened to all three was because I’d spent a credit. The “cat” theme was clever and made for interesting names for events and places, but the dialog was simplistic and weak. And why did the narrator elect to use a (really bad) southern accent for some of the characters. It’s Oregon not Alabama.

Just couldn’t...

Revisado: 08-24-20

Barely made it through. The story was mediocre with an uncharismatic heroine. But the narration made it completely dreadful. The squeaky voice she used for the male characters made everyone sound like they were 100 years old. No more of this series for me. Waste of a credit.

Couldn't stop listening!

What an awesome return to the world created in His Dark Materials trilogy! Filled in several gaps in Lyra's backstory and the rise of the Magisterium. Michael Sheen's narration was incredible; he brought the characters to life. Can't wait for the next installment!

Expected More... Disappointed

Revisado: 08-29-15

I love Brandon Sanderson but this was a disappointment. I kept wondering if he wrote this when he was a kid! The dialog was poorly constructed, and the characters often used language that didn't jibe with the setting.
The poor dialog was exacerbated by the dreadful reader! I almost sent it back several times because Yaegashi's interpretation was so awful.
The overall storyline was pretty intense, and I liked the world that Sanderson created. Just wish he would have taken a little more care with the finishing touches.

Cute, but predictable

Revisado: 04-14-15

I almost sent this one back... Changes to Biffy and Dama were almost too much! I kept listening because I liked the new characters and, once it was just them, it was easier to listen. Hope the reader reviews the characters before the next installment!

Amazing Listen!

My only complaint... it ended. what an amazingly crafted world Hugh Howey crafted. I hope there is a sequel! Awesome!

Absolutely the best!

Revisado: 04-06-13

I've read and listened to them all.. the Mortal Instruments and the Infernal Devices... and this was by far and away the best. Moving, surprising and deep. Danial Sharman's narration did justice to a lovely, and well written story.

Clever Story - Expertly Narrated!

Revisado: 12-20-12

This is such a fun listen! Wasn't sure I'd like it at first but Emily Gray's narration brings Alexia's quirky personality to life beautifully! I'm hooked and can't wait to listen to the next one in the series!
