Very interesting story

This is another great series by Brennan. The world and characters have depth and kept me interested, even when plot slowed down in places. The reader seemed not quite right for the story, but it was still an enjoyable listen.

Loved the story but it’s a difficult listen.

Throughout the book i never reached a point where I loved the narrator. I simply learned to tolerate her. It isn’t that she’s a poor actresss, I just felt that her voice wasn’t one that jived well with my own ears. There were certain parts where I felt she did a great job. But overall I almost quit the book over the narration. I’m glad I chose to finish it as the story itself really is quite good. I would recommend the book over the audible version.

Narrator problem

The narrator’s excessive and poorly-placed drama made this book sound like a children’s animated show. Really too bad because the story is well-written and captivating.
