Brass and Bone

De: Cynthia Gael

Narrado por: Amanda Cobb

"Being Simon Thorne, friend and collaborator to Lady Abigail Moran, isn't easy. Yes, being a daring thief does have its charms. But I still haven't convinced Abigail that she loves me, and thievery, for all the romantical writers say of it, is not the way to wealth. Especially if Abigail insists we continuously repair the airship with our ill-gotten gains.

"So when an old friend summons us to his estate and offers us a daring job with a hefty paycheck, we're happy to accept. The mission: use our airship to transport secret cargo halfway across the globe. Oh, and we mustn't forget to take along the witch and her sinister keeper. A witch more beguiling than expected and her keeper - or is that companion? - with secrets darker than one could imagine.

"Alas. Perhaps I have finally bitten off more than I can chew...."

Engaging story enhanced by narration

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

Nice, quick listen. Good narrator who made the story more engaging than it might have been otherwise since I'm not sure that it is the strongest of all plots. It was a fun listen and I'll get the next in the series presuming that there is a next in the series.

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

I'd hoped that there would be a bit more to the ending but it was a good pausing point as this seems to be the start of a series

Which scene was your favorite?

repairing the airship

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

yes

outstanding narration!

What did you love best about Brass and Bone?

I'm only a few chapters in, but the narrator's performance really brings the story to life! I'm not usually a fan of romance novels, but am a huge sucker for steampunk-inspired storylines.

Any additional comments?

Ms. Cobb is a rising star. You can hear a treasure trove of vast theatrical experience in her performance.

Brass & Bone

Great listening! The narrator was excellent! Her use of different accents and her ability to convey a wide range of emotions brought the characters to life! The subtle way in which she expressed Simon's 'asides' kept me chuckling throughout. I laughed out loud more than once! :)

Phenomenal...

In addition to a wonderful story, I was absolutely delighted by the creativity of the Narrator and her amazing range of characters! I look forward to hearing her work again in the very near future.
Brava, Ms. Cobb... Brava.

Boring, Narrator bugged me

Personally, I found the narrator's thick accent rather irksome. I listened to about 20 minutes of this and had enough. Not my cuppa tea.
