Claire Hansen was a Keeper, a member of that select group that kept the universe in one piece. And now she'd been Summoned to the Elysian Fields Guesthouse, a rundown bed-and-breakfast that seemed to attract the most unusual clientele. And Claire was not happy about this latest assignment, not happy at all. Not when she'd been tricked into taking over here by a horrible little gnome of a man who'd abandoned his post before she'd even figured out who he really was. Not when room six held a resident who'd been sleeping there for so many years that she really needed a good dusting - except that it was far too dangerous for anyone to get that close to her.

Just as Good as I remember !
I've been recently meaning to reread this series over the last few years. Still a great story and it still brings tears to my eyes everytime I read it. If any story shows that Author's can pull the emotional heartstring of their readers this is one of them.
I love the new narrator, I'm glad that there is finally a complete set of an Audio version of this series. I hope to see Christa in more stories form Valdemar in the future!

The whole series has long been a favorite, and I can't recall how many times I've read the books, so when the recording came out, I was thrilled. The performance did not disappoint and I'll be listening again. And again, and again.

Great End-of-Trilogy, Adequate Narration
Been waiting a long time for Audible to offer the second and third books of this series, so was overjoyed at these offerings.
The story is just as entertaining as I remembered from reading it, and the narrator does a decent job of taking us through it. However she loses me with the cartoony accents she puts on for these characters. I *suppose* it makes sense to give country-girl Talia a rural sound, or high-bred spin to Kris. But it’s just so over the top: these are accents a middle-schooler would make up, they lack subtlety and nuance.
Overall I was satisfied but, unless it was another series I knew I wanted, I‘d be cautious about purchasing another book from this narrator.
