"It was awesome!!!"
I am 11 years old. I had to read this book for summer reading at my school. It really helped me understand the book as I read it. I made a 100, all 20 points on the AR test. I recommend it because it is a really good story.
"A Great first book!"
I don’t usually write reviews, but for this book I needed to make an exception!
I was a little put off at first as the book seemed to have started very slow, I stuck with it though and ended up not being able to stop listening. The character development is awesome you come to truly enjoy being with each character. And when the book ended I rushed to find the next one, only to find it won’t be released on Audio until the End of October. Simply but I thoroughly enjoyed this book and cant wait for the next one.
"Great Serries and Reader"
Yes
The story moved, was interesting, inventive, and the author had a clear path.
In general I don't like woman readers, the usually don't have the voice dinamics to make all the characters believable. But Carol is the exception! I will look for other books read by her.
No. Too long for one sitting.
Listening to stories as I drive to and from work is the best, making the drive a little more tolerable.
"Capturing story line!"
I did listen to it twice, it was riveting and gave me lots of enjoyment! I don't usually take the time to write reviews. But I have introduced these books to many of my friends and they have loved them too. So I have the audio and hard backs.
Han because of his strength of character and wanting to do the right thing.
my wife and i are truck drivers and listen to a book every night we are driving, so that is about 11 hrs a day. :-)
"good book, but didn't like the narration"
had a good story, just took a little wile to get into it and get my imagination changing the voices instead of the narrator
Stefan Rudnicki or some one of his capabilitys
"Good Story"
I almost stopped listening to this. I thought the narrator was OK. I was occasionally confused about who was speaking, seemed like men and old women sounded the same at times. I also thought the authors writing style was a bit too 'tell me' but it is a good story with likeable characters. Since I do want to know what happens I guess I'll be buying the next one.
"Really really good!"
I rarely write reviews, but I can't stop thinking about these books. The story line is excellent. The narrator is exceptional. I'm almost done with the 2nd book and can't stop listening!
"Great story"
It was a great story & I can't wait for the next book. Cinda is a wonderful story teller, making the characters interesting & relateable, and building a world that draws you in.
"Fantastic start!"
This is a great story, and I can't wait for the next book to come out!
"Very good book"
I really enjoyed this book. I think that it is going to be a very good series. I just can't wait till the next one comes out.
