Glad I took a chance

Revisado: 11-07-24

I had several people warn me that this book was overrated, irritating, not well written. I am glad to say that I DIDNT listen to them! I don't remember ever holding my breath, laughing, crying, mourning, giggling, hating, cheering, falling in love, and more at a book before. I have thoroughly enjoyed this book and am eager to start Iron Flame next.
If you want a book to immerse yourself into, a new world and a new mythos to dive into, then this is most definitely one to give a listen to.

I tried

Revisado: 12-04-21

I honestly did. But with only 2 hours left, I could t handle it anymore. it was so cliche, so "mysterious", so boring. there was not enough backstory for any characters, there was not enough interaction to develop logically. The lines were stifled at some points, awkward in others, and downright boring at others. I just couldn't handle it.
the performers did good. they tried. but a lackluster book turned into a lackluster audiobook wasn't going to lead to an outstanding performance.
if I could get a refund I would ask for it.

A good listen

I have thoroughly enjoyed this book!
The performance was wonderful, the story was somewhat predictable but still good.

Highly recommend!

Revisado: 09-23-21

Yet another book I couldn't stop listening to! well written, well narrated, and we'll paced. it was so interesting to get the 'behind the scenes" stories. Highly recommend if you have kept up with the series; however if you are just diving in, don't get this one. it will be very confusing and you won't be able to make sense of how the world is.

I can't get enough!

Revisado: 08-14-21

Love, love LOVE it!!
the story, the flow of words, the performance, the characters, how the characters interacted, it was all great.
I think listening to this one, I have felt every possible feeling in the human experience. it was exhilarating.
Anne Bishop is an amazing writer and isn't afraid to write about unpleasant things. she isn't afraid to paint those unpleasant things in a seemingly normal way.
this book, this series, isn't for the faint of heart. murder, rape, pedophilia, bestiality, treason, drug use, political drama, and so much more.
the performance was great. I had no complaints. Mr. Sharian had great inflection, wonderful pacing, unique voices for each character, and a deep understanding of how to best bring the story to life.
My only issue I had (and it's mainly a pet peeve) was that any length of time was not named. if one chapter ended, and the next happened to take place 2 years after that, there was no mention other than an offhand comment one of the character made about the passage of time.
I don't like guessing how long between each scene was.
overall, I HIGHLY recommend this book. it's the second one in the series, and I'm on my way to the third!

Pretty engrossing

Revisado: 05-12-21

Story wise it was engrossing. I couldn't stop listening to it. the reading at times seemed stuffy and other times it flowed. it really gave credence to the mental capabilities of the people involved.

it was very dry

Revisado: 05-06-21

this was alright. the story was very dry, a lot of facts. some of the lines seemed very stiff and formal and just didn't flow right. but overall it was pretty engrossing. I didn't want to stop listening. I had to finish it.
