The narrator was awful.

I couldn't get through the first paragraph because the narrators voice was so awful. Monotone almost. Just awful.

slow&simple

not sure who is the target market is for this book but most definitely goes with my title took me a lot of tries to finish this title it's to balanced to make it fun.

PLEASE redo narration!!

First off, I have read this series a few times - it's a great overall series and I love reliving Michael and Claudia's journey to love. I love Mary Ting and have enjoyed reading other books of hers as well. Unfortunately, I've had to mostly switch to audiobooks so I can get stuff done while still being able to enjoy my favorite past time. When I saw these on Audible Escape I was overjoyed! That is, until I started listening - then I just wanted to cry. I don't have the time to just sit and read at this time and found that listening to this is just not an enjoyable option.
I really hate writing negative reviews & hate to say anything bad about someone else. However, the narration on this book desperately needs to be redone (PLEASE!). Her voice is so flat & emotionless, it’s like asking Siri to read it to you; that is not an exaggeration, nor am I trying to insult or just be intentionally cruel, it’s truly the most accurate description I can think of. When she says the name of the next chapter, it literally sounds like she’s getting ready to give you bad news. I listened to this all the way through but when the book ended, I was honestly relieved. Also, I downloaded the book as well, just to read along a bit when I had a couple minutes here or there but that bothered me even more - she didn’t even read it word for word, she embellished & mixed words around. This story gets 4.5-5 stars for me, but the narration was so bad it brought my overall rating for this to 2 stars (and honestly, that’s being generous). Mary Ting is a great author, she needs a narrator who reflects that.
** Mary I beg you, PLEASE do yourself a huge favor and get the books in this series that are read by Amanda Friday re-narrated with someone new! You are a wonderful writer but you're doing yourself a great disservice with this narration. You should be more well known than you are and I fear this will only hurt your chance at obtaining the larger following that you deserve. **

It's okay

I'm a little disappointed in this series. I love her descendent prophecies but not this one. I sorn really feel the connection between to main characters for Michael to profess his love liked that to her. I feel as if she didn't do anything much for all those guys to fall for her. She's weak and I don't know if she's smart or stupid lol. Sorry it was just okay for me on this book and I might not even read the rest.

COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER

The book was good. The person reading it had a monotone voice. She didn't even try to separate the characters. It made the whole listing experience torturous.
