Great story

I'm a big fan of how this made me more interested in podcasts. I just need to find one like "A History of Violence"

I love these characters!

I was surprised by the sudden bigotry from a couple of them, but the resolution was satisfying

Haunting considering the times we live in, now

But a beautiful story that might be about learning empathy instead of a certain kind of supremacy.

Captivating Characters. Predictable Plot.

Revisado: 04-24-19

Definitely don't seek out this story for eroticism or mystery. I feel like many reviews over-hype those two features. There's one terse & tepid scene of explicit "romance (not)" but lots of references to the sexuality & even depravity of the setting (told through the eyes of someone who is not about that life.)

I love this book because subversive stories tickle my fancy, but I could easily see this book giving some people the vapors.

The main characters are strong and charismatic. I hung on the word of both princes. They shine throughout the story and play off of each other well.

The performance lacks nothing. Great voice. Great acting. Though the voices for different characters don't vary much, I was never confused about who was talking because the actor switched delivery styles. Hard to explain, but effective. I'm a fan.

Oh man did I cry

Revisado: 06-28-18

I relate far too much to both characters. Especially Julian because I've had a reoccurring illness since childhood. If you've got an invisible illness, this story will make you feel worthy of love and care. 💖

The narrator has a charming voice but started out with a few problems modulating their voice for different characters. Don't let that discourage you from listening. They quickly improved and finished strong!

Inconsistent voice acting

Revisado: 09-22-16

The constant switching between character voices for narrated bits was confusing. Sometimes it would take me a whole passage to realize a character hadn't been speaking out loud. Also, the bits w the villain were just too off-putting. I was already having trouble getting into the romantic scenes due to awkward wording & then having the surgeon go into detail about his intentions toward a young child just ruined the rest of this, for me.

Awkward Narration. Worth it!

Revisado: 07-04-16

I believe this is the very first time I've been turned off by a narrator's performance & production quality but felt that the story truly made up for the struggle.

The first person narration actually helps in accepting the voice. after all, the main character is painfully awkward, himself.

About halfway through the book, pauses in the recording become obvious & distracting. The narrator struggles with varying his voice for multiple characters. He's not great with accents. Yet, Percival is an endearing character & imagining it is him making these mistakes somehow improves the storytelling.

Also, bravo on not using too many euphemisms. Graphic romantic scenes are far more interesting.

Great foreshadowing & use of the setting to build a convincing mystery.

Sweet & Magical

Revisado: 05-29-16

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Definitely! Fans of Jane Austen will appreciate the pacing of this book and the witty ways the characters interact.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I don't want to spoil it, but it's one of the few romance novels I've read where the ending was worth the wait!
