Fantastic Listening

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would definitely recommend this audiobook to anyone who enjoys a great story. I have been an avid audiobook listener for over 10 years and this book will definitely stay in my collection of favorites. The book is so well written, with twists and turns you don't see coming. Buckle up and enjoy the ride while listening to this intriguing fantasy.

What other book might you compare The Rise to and why?

This is a different kind of love story/fantasy and honestly I can't compare this book with any other books I have read/listened to.

What about Randi Larson’s performance did you like?

Thankfully Randi's voice is not monotone which is something that immediately distracts me when listening to an audiobook. I enjoyed listening to her and will listen to more books that she has narrated.

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

This is definitely a book I wanted to listen to all in one setting; however, I am limited to listening for a couple of hours a day since I do so on my way to and from work. I am always excited to get into my car when I have a new audio book to listen to and this book delivered great enjoyment.

Any additional comments?

I am anxiously waiting for Book 2 of the Phoenix series to come to audio. Kudos to Jaime!!
