another great book about an interesting magical valley

I love the back story and lore buiklding in the first two books and the telling of it is very good. Excellent, even though not without flaws but they are minor for the most part. I listened to part 1 first then read the book after and I guess my only complaint would be the southern twang tends to muddle come of the female voices. Queenie becomes Darlene very easily. Missy and Cindy feel only a yawn apart, as well. But like I said, it is minor and when I read it, I obviously don't have the same issues, which is th eonly reason I bring it up. If I could change anything, it would be the downshifting into sexual encounters that I experience, almost like there is not much sexual flirtation between sexual interludes the way I interact with my wife. We flirt or drop innuendos even while the kids are near. I pinch, she smacks my butt, we don't just jump right into sex and these two books seem to fall into that pattern. We tease each other and when the kids are at school or asleep, we do our thing. None of this ruins any of the book. I would love it if they were more flirty, but romance is there for most of the scenarios so at least they aren't coldly fornicating for sake of the story/plot. It has to be a rough balance for a harem book to keep it sexy, keep it family, and also keep it dramatic. I'm still in for this storyline! The new threat isn't clear and the cast is growing!! I would totally recommend!

Great!

This sequel was captivating from start to finish—immersive narration, perfect pacing, and vivid characters. I saw there are only three books so far, and I’m eagerly hoping a fourth arrives soon!

Outstanding job great characters and a fantasy storyline worth listening to more than once!!

Superb storyline and I can't wait for the next book to add to my library and enjoy it!

so for so good

not an awful book 2, I like the characters and the character progression. he is way to forgiving for me in some situations I think. but all in all I like it.

hate the whole "partners" thing

everyone wants to be equal but whenever it's a dire time or need, no one can be pointed too, but it's always the man for some reason but even then the women AND men complain that they didn't get their 2 cents in. on every story I read or listen to, I don't know who is the head of the family..... ever
