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

Robotic Reader Avoid this one

I adore Magnus Bane! He is by far my favorite character in the Shadow Hunter books. I love the way Cassandra Claire writes him. I do not like the way Cecil Baldwin performs this particular book.

His voice is monotone and very robotic. It very much detracts from this book. I have a kindle and when I use the text to speech it is a robotic voice. That robotic voice has more emotion than this guy.

Definitely buy the one before this one called Saving Raphael Santiago but steer clear of this one. Maybe the next one will be better.

narrator was difficult to deal with.

The narrator was awful. I almost turned it off. If it had been more than 2 hours i would have.

His voice was awful!

it was very annoying to listen to this guy!!! He was very feminine sounding! The story was about guys!!! This was the worst audible book I've ever listened to! Every guy sounds feminine! yuck!!!

not bad

Okay this one was a good story, and good narration, but I just didn't enjoy it. I was amused to see them integrate the New York Black out from a few years back. The story is actually a good one of the New York Vampires, and of course Magus Saving them. He saves a lot of people, something I expected of him yet in many cases it makes him seem weak, I am not sure why they way he is presented in this light annoys me.

I can't say much about this story. It just didn't strike a cord with me, I was kind of bored with it and wanted it over even if it was a good telling.
