A wonderful addition to the "canon"

Revisado: 11-07-24

Some published before, some new, all well done. Especially the last story, a new one with Holmes and his granddaughter solving a mystery involving Father Christmas. Bravo !

Not my favorite in this series

Revisado: 10-01-24

While I generally love both the Rivers of London series, and the narration by Kobna Holdbrook-Smith, for some reason I had trouble following the dialog of the main character, Augustus Berrycloth-Young. The quest of Nightingale to find a friend(?) of Molly takes him to New York, and the Harlem / Jazz scene there after WWI was certainly interesting.

Enjoyed the visit to the midwest

Revisado: 11-13-23

While it took a while to "warm up" to Kimberly Reynolds in her own adventure, I did enjoy the story. No, not as much as the main ones with Peter and Nightingale, but still worth the time. The narrator was fine. Yea, the "parker" for "parka" thing was a little annoying, but not that big a deal.

Ok, but ….

Revisado: 09-24-22

Just couldn’t get into it. Well narrated, and had the outline of a good story, but seemed lacking in character development. I ended up listening at a higher speed, just to get through it.

Way better than I expected

Revisado: 07-16-22

After reading all the "Where is Marsters?" and "It's too short for a whole credit!" negative reviews, I had my doubts. They were unfounded. Butcher does a great job narrating. If James Marsters is 5/5 (and he is) then Jim Butcher get 4.9/5 here. Excellent job. And the story is "just right" in length for what it is. If you think every credit has to go to a Stormlight Archives or Wheel of Time book, that's fine (I love them too), but IMHO anything by Butcher is worth a credit, A nice story to tide us over till the next Dresden, or Cinder Spires ! Listen past the end credits for some bloopers.

Refreshing to be back to mysteries

Revisado: 03-02-22

I almost didn't get this, given the plethora of "the narrator is awful" comments. But she is actually just fine, at least until our favorite FBI agent makes an appearance in the epilogue. No, Ms Farrell is not René Auberjonois, who's Pendergast is absolutely perfect. Maybe that will improve with time, as I expect him to make regular appearances as the stories of Corey and Nora continue. What I did like is that this is a return to the actual "solve a mystery / whodunnit" type of story reminiscent of "Still Life with Crows". Getting more than a little tired of "Pendergast does James Bond" stories we've been getting for a while now. I look forward to listening to more of these. Criticizing this book for not being a Pendergast novel is just .... dumb.

A welcome return to form.

Revisado: 08-02-21

I’ve read, or listened to, all of the Mary Russell stories since becoming “hooked” after reading The Beekeeper’s Apprentice” what seems like ages ago. While I’ve always enjoyed the stories, some were more enjoyable than others. Ms, King has returned to top form with this one, and I’m very glad. The story is interesting and well plotted out and the dialogue between Russel and Holmes is close to perfect. As Mary says at the very end, it was as close to a “story book ending” as one can get. The narration by Ms. Sterling is, as always, perfect.

The saga begins - and is better with Marsters

Revisado: 02-17-20

In preparation for Peace Talks (finally) coming out this I decided to do a “re-read” (via Audible) of this, my favorite long running Fantasy series. I’ve listened to some of them, read some, and had done both for Skin Game (which is GREAT). Before starting the Audible version of Storm Front, I read through the reviews, and was very perplexed about some of the negative comments about James Marsters reading. I always thought he was as close to the perfect Harry Dresden as could be imagined. Maybe this, being his first attempt, wasn’t as good?? NO, as always, and even to start out, he was incredibly good. One of, if not THE best reader for Audible, IMHO. So ... if you’re looking to start in on a truly great series, this is an excellent place to start.

Another fine Sanderson Cosmere novel.

Revisado: 02-05-20

Maybe not quite as good as Mistborn or the Stormlight Archive, but excellent none the less. Adds another magic system, and introduces a few characters, and objects, which show up in other Cosmere novels. Excellent narration.

Good story, dynamic range problems in the audio

Revisado: 02-05-20

This may seem an odd complaint, but we found it almost impossible to listen to on a short trip in the car. The dynamic range of the audio is too great. If you have the volume up enough to hear the quiet conversations, the other parts were way too loud. If you adjusted the volume for that, much of the conversation was impossible to follow. The story itself seemed very good, and if you listen on headphones at home, you’ll probably love it ;-)
