I really like the series

I do enjoy the books and they’re funny and a good storyline the only thing I didn’t like is that they change the narrator I like the other one better but still good

Change in narrator

I have enjoyed this series from the start. I totally enjoy Holly Jackson as a narrator and was disappointed to see she was replaced and the main reason is the new narrator pronounces names differently than she did so continuity is lost. If I was a narrator and I'm signing on to do a book that's part of a series and it's not the 1st book I would listen to them so that I can continue in the same vein, pronouncing names the same etc. Very disappointing when this doesn't happen. it makes me wonder what the role of a producer or director is because they should insist on it.

Great rounded story.

You will laugh, sigh in frustration, cry and love each character. Disappointed in how much skipping happens during the book though--the skipping is in the recording, not the story line.

What a disaster - the narration was horrible!

I love the Dragon Kin saga and couldn't wait for the audio version. But the narration is so bad its beyond belief. All the lively characters are flat - that is if you can work out who is who. And who is Avar? It sounds rather close to Evar in Fury of Fire by Correen Callaghan. The name in the book is spelt Eibhear. There is also a British slant to the language as mentioned by a previous reviewer. The narration was so awful it was criminal and only got one star to acknowledge that she opened her mouth. I never got past the first half of the story it was way too painful. Thankfully I download the Supernatural Anthology that has the Dragon on Top short story. It's narrated by Justin Eyre - now that woman really brings the dragons to life. She gives each one a different accent and character. It's nothing short of brilliant - I just hope she manages to do a few more because if the other narrator tries to do it again she needs to be taken aside by the Cadwaladrs!

Entertaining!!!! But the not first in the Series

I love this book. It was fun and entertaining. I just did not want to stop listening to it. I finished it in a day. But I do need to warn you that this is book five in the series. At first I did not notice that it was not the first one. But then the author made references to what seems like pass books. I have not read the other books before. I wish audible would warn us that it is part of a series and that it is book 5.


But the story was fun and they were always some kind fighting going on. The narrator made the book a little up beat. Even when there was killing and fighting. It was interesting. I did not hate it at all. But she does need to work on some her voices. Sometime I did not know who was talking until the name came up. They sometime all sounded the same.

I like the fact the author did not just give us the main characters points of view or journey but multiple points of views and journeys. I loved it because it kept my mind involved.

There is some graphic sex scenes in the book but not to many. I wish audible also rated that.


I like this author, I have her on author to keep my eye on list. She kept me wanting to know what was coming next. The book can be a stand alone...but its not. I hope they record the others because I would like to have get them.

This book has Big Family Crazy, War and killing, Fighting, Steamy Romance, Dragons that are yummy men, Fun, and Entertainment from beginning to end.

Hope you agree! Enjoy:)

Pretty Good Book!

Where does The Dragon Who Loved Me rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I listen to a lot of audiobooks, and I thought this was one of the better ones. It was a little slow to get into, especially if you haven't read the other books in the series.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dragon Who Loved Me?

When Queen Anwyl rides out over the enemy troops on dragon back, then jumps off, landing behind the enemy general on his horse. After killing him, she looks around, grins, and says, "Hello lads...Name's Anwyl."

Which character – as performed by Morgan Hallett – was your favorite?

Anwyl the Bloody. You can just picture her as the Mad Queen, and a loving mother at the same time.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

These dragons don't need training.

Any additional comments?

There a several books in this series. I hope they are going to go back and produce the others.

Great series

very enjoyable. the narrator changed the pronunciation of some characters (-) that i gound annoying. overall very pleased and ready for the next book!

Different Narrator

The narrator was different for this one. I enjoyed her voice and the way she did the characters but it took me a little bit sometimes to figure out which character she was talking about because of the very different pronunciations of the names. That was a bit distracting, but overall, I really liked this story much more than I expected to.

Really awesome

Shows the continuation of all the primary characters, added new pro- and ant-agonists, and added many secondary characters, finally a new love affair and romance.

The names

we are six books in and you change the reader but my goodness did they not even listen to one pervious book. She said the names so different I half the time didn't realize which characters she was talking about.
