The Midnight Heir

By: Cassandra Clare, Sarah Rees Brennan

Narrated by: David Oyelowo

A Simon & Schuster audiobook. Simon & Schuster has a great book for every listener.

Good start, but where is the story?

If you could sum up The Midnight Heir in three words, what would they be?

Where's the story?

Would you recommend The Midnight Heir to your friends? Why or why not?

If you are a Magnus lover, then yes, but if not, don't bother...

Which character – as performed by David Oyelowo – was your favorite?

He did a good job with Magnus

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

Not quite, but almost.

Any additional comments?

I loved seeing some of our fav characters from the past, but the story was lacking. almost like they left a chapter out.

Disappointed, expected more

Is there anything you would change about this book?

No, I just didn't like the story. I hoped for something more...

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

I think it was a fitting end to the book, since the story was not very attractive

What about David Oyelowo’s performance did you like?

The performance is all right, I didn't like this book.

Was The Midnight Heir worth the listening time?

I don't know, because I didn't like the book, but in the future, maybe i try again

Any additional comments?

It's worth listening the book, to follow the Bane adventures, and figured out what happen during this long and immortal life.

Very Interesting

It's always cool to get a back story or more information on past and present characters. Being a fan of Tess and Will, I really enjoyed this one. It gives you glimpse into their son, James.

Oh Magnus

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I'm really not sure. Seems like this book was over before it really ever started.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I love the Herondales. Will and Tessa

Do you think The Midnight Heir needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Well knowing that it is part of a short story collection no. But feeling as if a lot was left out there...... Yes. I need answers

Just kind of leaves you hanging.

Okay I understand this short book is another of Magus stories, and that he should be the primary focus of it. In fact it annoys me when the a story about someone focuses on someone else. However in this case it seems like there is a larger story that Magus is just a small portion of and you are only being given a glimpse of his role in the story and nothing else. It seems incomplete, like you started in the middle of a story read a chapter and then stopped.

They changed narrators again for this one, he is not bad, not great but not bad, the 3rd book still has the best choice for Bane voice in my opinion. As far as telling of the story he did a decent job.
