only problem with it was i was cutting trees down

when u listen to it u will understand. liked all the charters and plot. listened straight thru.(did receive a free copy)

Very interesting.

I had also read this book on Book Sprout.
I enjoyed it very much.
Only down side is I listened bit by bit. I will have to read it again all at once.
I would definitely recommend it to a friend.

Mixed feelings

I got the ebook copy as a free copy in exchange for a review, not realizing in my haste that i signed up for it. I don’t have much time to read so I purchased the audio copy to be able to complete my part of the deal.
I had mixed feelings about the story line and the reader. Maybe it is just me but I didn’t feel a connection to any one of the characters. So better characters or character build up would be helpful. I understand there was little as far as each character getting to know each other that’s parts of the story but I as a reader would like to feel like I know at least one character and can relate in some way to them. The story to fell a bit short as if it was rushed in parts especially towards the end. Overall I found the story to be entertaining enough to keep listening to it but there would need to be a revision to the characters mostly for me to read it again.

Get ready for a ride ...

This story takes off and you're glued to it till the end. The narrator was so slow at first but then as the story goes on you realize that that's how the Spriggin would sound like!! The story keeps you in it's grip til the end and even then you're ready for more. This is a great book you have to listen to!!! Or read!!

I really wanted the Spriggan and Brie to Win!

I I would have like the story more if Vicky would have just let The Spriggan and Brie complete what they started. I guess this could have been considered a horror story, but I truly believe what mankind has done to Mother Nature is the true Horror story. Will gladly read more by this author!!

An enjoyable story

This is a tale of Nature taking her revenge on mankind, and it a truly enjoyable one.

Most of the human characters are all so... not nice that you struggle to not wish for the Spriggan had its wicked way :P Vicky is an interesting, complex character, same as Brin. And I enjoyed a lot the Spriggan's journey from its awakening to its end: the way its conscience grows along with its knowledge on the era... really well done.

The narration was amazing and adds to the overall enjoyment of the book.

A fitting story for Halloween :)
