My Least Fav HP but Still a Good Listen!

Revisado: 07-28-24

Umbridge is enough to make me dislike this book but still an important part of the seven HP novels that I love to read-read.

Wonderful book!

Revisado: 11-13-17

I'm a big fan of Elizabeth Chadwick's writing and I understand that this was her very first book, book 1 of a trilogy. It tells the story of Guyon who is forced by the king to marry young lady Judith and the "wild hunt" is their falling in love and Judith's learning to love her husband. Elizabeth Chadwick does not disappoint!

My only disappointment was that "The Wild Hunt" was not available in e-book format. My only complaint is that this is a trilogy and I would love it if the other two books were also on Audible since neither is available as an e-book.

Would you consider the audio edition of Green Darkness to be better than the print version?

I've re-read this book many, many times but this was the first time I listened to it on Audible and I loved the reader/performer's accents and pronounciation. In many ways I prefer the audio version because it's so easy to get lost in the story when you don't have to wonder how to pronounce places and things.

What does Heather Wilds bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Heather Wilds did a wonderful job - she brought an old favorite back to life for me.

No Sequel?

Have you listened to any of Jonathan Keeble’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The reason I downloaded this book was because I just love Jonathan Keeble's narration and he did not disappoint. Phenomenal.

Any additional comments?

Great characters - I would love to read more books about them!

Not a fan of the narrator

Revisado: 07-30-16

Any additional comments?

I enjoyed reading this book but not listening to it - I couldn't finish it listening to it because I didn't care for the narration. Fun easy read but not a book to listen to with this narrator.

Phenomenal!

Would you consider the audio edition of Enemy of God to be better than the print version?

I would not consider the audio version to be better but equally as phenomenal. What I really appreciated with the audio version was the correct pronunciations of the names of places and people. I had been pronouncing Ceinwyn's name as "sane-win" rather than the correct "kine-win" before I began listening to the audio version.

What does Jonathan Keeble bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I originally found this book after doing a search for books that Jonathan Keeble has narrated because he is such a wonderful storyteller. His performance of this book makes me feel like I'm sitting in front of him and he's telling the story to me. I hope to listen to more of the books he has read.

Any additional comments?

This is book 2 of a three-book series. I would highly recommend reading the three books in order although one could read each of the three books as a stand-alone novel and still enjoy it.

Better than expected & great beginning of trilogy

Revisado: 07-24-16

What made the experience of listening to The Winter King the most enjoyable?

Jonathan Keeble's performance of this book made me feel like I was sitting in a hall listening to a bard tell this story.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked them all - the friendships and the interconnections of the characters make this a very enjoyable story.

Any additional comments?

I almost didn't download this book after reading other reviews that said that that this book was slow and dull - don't listen to those. It is true that this book moves slower than the next two in this trilogy but it's worth reading and really necessary in order to understand all that goes on in the next two books - which were the kinds of books that I could barely put down. This book is good - and the next two (Enemy of God and Excalibur) are phenomenal.

If you could sum up The Pagan Lord in three words, what would they be?

Uhtred's still got it!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Still Aethelflaed - I like how she loves Uhtred and doesn't care what others think.

What does Matt Bates bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Matt Bates is phenomenal and much appreciated after quite a few narrators who didn't capture my interest. Jonathan Keeble and Matt Bates both are awesome - and not just readers but performers of the story. I found myself listening when I would usually be just reading because his narration added so much to my experience of the storyline.

Awesome book - not a fan of the reader

If you could sum up Death of Kings in three words, what would they be?

History brought to life (sorry, I know that's 4 words)

What did you like best about this story?

I am enjoying seeing how Uhtred is growing as a person through the story

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Stephen Perring?

Jonathan Keeble - his voice makes me feel like I'm sitting next to Uhtred and he's telling me his story. With Stephen Perring, I found myself cringing every time he mispronounced important words like "Bebbanburg" as Bamburgh....yes, it's Bamburgh NOW but it was Bebbanburg in the story!

If you could take any character from Death of Kings out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Aelflaed - she sounds like a woman who would have a lot to share.

Any additional comments?

Bring back Jonathan Keeble please.
