Feverborn

Fever Series, Book 8

De: Karen Marie Moning

Narrado por: Luke Daniels, Jill Redfield

In Karen Marie Moning's latest installment of the epic number one New York Times best-selling Fever series, Mac, Barrons, Ryodan, and Jada are back - and the stakes have never been higher and the chemistry has never been hotter. Hurtling us into a realm of labyrinthine intrigue and consummate seduction, Feverborn is a riveting tale of ancient evil, lust, betrayal, forgiveness, and the redemptive power of love.

When the immortal Fae destroyed the ancient wall dividing the worlds of Man and Faery, the very fabric of the universe was damaged, and now Earth is vanishing bit by bit. Only the long-lost Song of Making - a haunting, dangerous melody that is the source of life itself - can save the planet.

But those who seek the mythic song must contend with old wounds and new enemies, passions that burn hot and hunger for vengeance that runs deep. The challenges are many: the Keltar at war with nine immortals who've secretly ruled Dublin for eons, Mac and Jada hunted by the masses, the Seelie queen nowhere to be found, and the most powerful Unseelie prince in all creation determined to rule both Fae and Man. Now the task of solving the ancient riddle of the Song of Making falls to a band of deadly warriors divided among - and within - themselves.

Once a normal city possessing a touch of ancient magic, Dublin is now a treacherously magical city with only a touch of normal. And on those war-torn streets, Mac will come face-to-face with her most savage enemy yet: herself.

This is one of my favorite series!

The Fever Series is one of my favorites but this story is my least favorite story in the series and it is not because of the change in narrators. Most of the book was Mac's inter dialogue and there seemed to very little Barrons and Ryodan so it honestly did not bother me there was a change in narrators.

I see there are a lot of negative remarks about the change in narrators; however, I think they did a great job. I loved how Luke portrayed several of the characters voices especially Shazam's voice and Jill did a great job on both Mac and Jada's voices.

Looking forward to the next story in the series; however, I really hope to hear more about Dani/Jada and the rest of the characters. Mac and Barrons is starting to be redundant.

The New Fever Series Narrators Did A Good Job

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

I read other reviewers bemoaning the loss of Phil Gigante. I, too, had been a long term fan of his narrations. But, like Subway's Jared, I can't overlook Phil's alleged legal problems. Now when I hear his voice, I don't find it dream-worthy--instead, I cringe. I welcome Luke Daniels as the new voice for some of my favorite Moning male characters.

Any additional comments?

I'm a die-hard Moning fan, so I'm withholding judgment on Feverborn until the next book in the series, to see if we can move past the Mac/JZB/Sinsar Dubh storyline and get on to the Song of Making/Black Hole problem. Feverborn felt like everything old was new again--almost a recap with minimal forward momentum, until the typical Moning cliffhanger ending.

Save your money!

I listened to the whole book, but barely. This book is centered more on character feelings than an actual storyline. Very little portions of the book actually referenced the song of making which, is supposed to be a big highlight of the book. The characters that should have been highlighted more, barely even came up. All I know is that the characters feel the same as the last book and nothing more. The writing should be revisited, because KMM doesn't do well with switching from character to character narration. The reading was amazing which actually helped me complete it to the end.

NARRATION IS UNBELIEVABLE BAD

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

No I could not listen to Luke Daniels doing Darron's voice

What other book might you compare Feverborn to and why?

none

Would you be willing to try another one of Luke Daniels and Jill Redfield ’s performances?

yes I would BUT NOT THIS SERIES

Did Feverborn inspire you to do anything?

Yes to wright a review

Any additional comments?

the narration was really bad. Luke Daniels is great in the Iron Druid Chronicles by kevin Hearne but he can not do Barron and Ryodan like Phil Gigante . Please ,please redo this book with Phil & Natalie

Great Story. Miss old narrators. New ones okay.

Story perfection! Narration good. Soul misses Phil Gigante Natalie Ross. They will ALWAYS be Fever!
