Interesting story held back by stilted, meandering narration delivery.

Revisado: 01-03-24

I've tried several times to come back to this book, but I've never made it past the 3rd chapter. The narration just doesn't flow well... as someone who has done V.O. work (and audio editing) for years, this narration comes across as rather amateur, sounding as though the narrator was reading the story for the first time as she recorded, never going back to re-delivery the lines in a more natural-sounding way.

A fairly brief yet engaging tale.

Revisado: 11-14-23

While it's shorter than many of the books I tend to listen to, I'm certainly glad to have given it a listen. It's definitely the sort of story which (thankfully) chooses to leave room for your own imagination rather than plainly dictating every character's thoughts and intentions. Definitely a well written (and even better performed) story that knew when to end before growing too long-in-the-tooth. ;-)

A thrilling and beautiful tale

Revisado: 08-22-23

A tad long-winded at times, but ultimately a delightful and riveting story fraught with anxiety and courage in equal measure. A splendid fantasy world encompasses (and insightfully depicts) deeper real-world issues in a powerful and poignant way. I'll definitely be recommending this book to friends and family.
Ultimately, it does exactly what all great stories do - puts you into the shoes of another person and allows you to experience the world through their eyes and with their thoughts and feelings. And in this case in particular, it's an experience more people in the world today would benefit from having. Thankfully, it's an immensely enjoyable experience.

The book I've wished for

Revisado: 01-26-23

This book has pretty much literally everything I could want in it:
- Clever, novel, thoroughly thought-out system of magic
- Flawed-but-uniquely-talented characters
- Elements of suspense
- A solidly written/established plotline which anchors everything firmly into place
- and even a dash of Eldritch horror

As always, Damian Lynch nails the delivery.

Will absolutely be recommending this to everyone I know.

A well paced and well written conclusion.

Revisado: 09-08-22

A very satisfying payoff for what were a trio of rather good books set in an enthralling fantasy land.
