This was exceptionally laid out and the information was technical but not inaccessible. I don’t have kids yet, but it was still incredibly useful. Both in planning for the future but also reflective on my own habits with screen time. Opened up a whole can of worms that I’ll have to keep looking into.

Also, it wasn’t political, which is saying something today. Well done!

I’m pretty used to trudging through political soliloquies to find the information promised by the book jacket. Most of the time was spent defending women or her own stance as a feminist from people who probably aren’t reading this book. The last couple chapters shoved a bunch of topics together but offered very little info on them, felt more like a disclaimer than anything else. Other than that, it’s a good starting point to learn about the similarities between human and other mammalian reproductive cycles.

What an incredible book!

Earlier this year I told someone I thought Fantasy might no longer be my genre. I was so overjoyed to be proven wrong this week. I am not exaggerating when I say I started grinning during the first few lines of The Merlin and only stopped to feel disgust over a cauldron, danger in foreign halls and deep sadness on journeys home.

I had to pause the book for several hours during the last chapter to process everything, but I gave myself some time to recover and now can’t decide if I want to pick up the next book, or reread the third part.

It was a little slow to start (specifically the Atlantean portion of A gift of Jade) but Elphin’s tale was so masterfully spun in that section that it more than made up for it. I sped up the narration a little (like normal for me) and allowed the story to shine through. The accents were perhaps not the best, but I wouldn’t say it took away from my overall enjoyment of the book once I got used to it.

Probably my favorite book I’ve read/listened to in years

After loving the Hobbit as a child, I was dismayed to find myself unwilling to finish the FOTR, Peter Jackson's adaptation gives a happy beginning, a quick call to adventure and then a tension filled chase, Tolkien was much more subtle. The audio was suggested to me instead of suffering through the book and it was exactly what I needed to understand the areas I had previously stumbled over.

The preformance of the poetry in song inhances the reading so much. Instead of areas of italicized print to skip over, it adds to the story and world.

The beginning was still a little slow, but after meeting Glorfindel I could barely pause it. Fantastic! Bought all three by Rob Inglis.

A wholesome escape with the simplicity of plot that's associated with Middle Grade Fiction. The overarching themes of love, family and magic are what makes it appealing to all ages. A great story.

My only critque would be the two preformers spoke at different speeds, so it made the already slow pacing of the readers seem even more pronounced when switching from Silverswift's POV to Eliza's. I would suggest listening to Eliza's at .1x more than Silverswift's chapters, I found the best to be 1.3x and 1.2x respectively.
