![Half a Crown: Small Change, Book 3 | [Jo Walton]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51rXQ1fEGTL._SL175_.jpg)
"Priceless Characters, Riveting Plot"
What did you love best about Half a Crown?The plot was so engaging I couldn't stop listening. This is very hard to put down and though I usually work while listening to audiobooks, this one had me glued in place, fully attentive to the story. It took a lot of discipline to keep from forwarding to the end just to relieve the tension of not knowing what would happen to the characters, but I'm so glad I let the story unfold. The end is satisfying.
Who was your favorite character and why?Carmichael- the struggles he goes through are genuine and believable.
Which scene was your favorite?Carmichael in his cell watching the Queen's address on TV.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?The treatment of the Jews was very real and the telling of this tale may help people, who (like Elvira and other characters in the book) need to increase their empathy and tolerance. I wish they hadn't killed Jack.
Any additional comments?I enjoyed watching Elvira's personality develop as she found her courage.

![Beyond the Highland Mist: Highlander, Book 1 | [Karen Marie Moning]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51Sn2VaE4hL._SL175_.jpg)
"Light, Entertaining & Silly"
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?If you are looking for light reading with no basis in historical fact, this is a really fun read.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Beyond the Highland Mist?The premise for time travel is fresh; I really like the characters in the fairy court.
Have you listened to any of Phil Gigante’s other performances before? How does this one compare?First time- the voice is clear and pleasant.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?Arrogant overlord meets his match
