I love this series!

This is a really nice continuation of this series. When the author does a good job, the first in the series becomes my favorite in said series because it's the introduction to a brand new world. It isn't often for me that the second in the series is better than the first. This is one of those rare cases. The story was interesting though I missed Marcus since he didn't play as big of a role in this one. Hvam does a great job with voices. It's amazing how so many voices come from one woman.

As always Michelle Sagara Keeps me entranced !

Almost perfect

I eat this story up. All the way until the end. Such fun character builds. All I want is a little more developed final resolution. Everything builds to this epic ending but only a brief near miss happens and then... an epilogue. So close.

Court light

Always enjoy listening to Michelle Sagara's works. She makes the story come to life. You can see the city & people as if you are part of the story.

What made the experience of listening to Cast in Courtlight the most enjoyable?

I was sucked into this story. I truly love Kalynn. She is always finding trouble.

Good book

I struggled a little as I got lost with all the "name" meaning and am not exactly sure I understand. But it's a good story and I like the characters...

High Court, didnt see this one coming

I was low on credits and looking for something new. I tend to stick squarely to romance novels, and vampires, witches, and werewolves. Needless to say I was browsing free novellas and came across Cast in Moonlight. It was soon that I was hooked, it still was a fantasy and it dealt with a side of the supernatural I had yet to consider. I have now read every book in the series, and I am aching for more. What a good storyline. I feel like I know Kaylin I am empathic to her cause, and I still feel on the edge of my seat with each new book. It's such and interesting way to picture a fictional world, and what it would be like to have to deal with the day to day in a time an place unlike ours. The storyline is deep, and funny, giving way to a strong willed child and her life as see grows into a formidable women. Each new book builds on the last, however unlike most series of books, the ending doesn't leave you hanging. Michelle closes it up in such a way that you want more, but you also know that this portion of Kaylin life is complete.

Loving this series.

I'm enjoying listening to this series after I read it many years ago. I'm finding out new things about the story that I missed the first time reading it. I'm looking forward to book 3.

the complexity of the casts

loved it read and reread and reread the series! it a must read for all!

Great Book - Great Story

Would you listen to Cast in Courtlight again? Why?

YES. I have all of the books and this one of 5 series that I would read again.
Others are: Sherrilyn Kenyon Dark Series * / Geroge RR Martin Game of Thrones / All JD Robb In Death Series / Christine Feehan Ghostwalkers (also like her Carapthian Series) / JRR Tolkien the Hobbit-Lord of the Rings Big commitments but worth the time and money to purchase and listen to them as well as purchase in print form. *I have both for many of my books.

What did you like best about this story?

Everything

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

She did an amazing job on this and on all other projects. My hope is that in making these reviews, it encourages the authors to use the talent that we feel is best as well as encourage those narrators with negative comments to work on their approach to reading the book. It is also my hope that the books we like very well will encourage the authors to write more of them knowing they have people who dearly love their work.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes
