Great narration but story isn't as impressive

I enjoyed Book 4 of the Sevenwaters, though not quite as much as the first 3. I do think Rosalyn Landor has done the best narration in both the books she has done in the series so far when compared to the other's performance. This book's story isn't quite as strong as the others in the series, but I still enjoyed it. I did notice several production editing issues with the narration that were a bit jolting but fortunately didn't do anything to inhibit the flow for long. (Chapter 3 was especially messy.) I do intend on continuing with the next book as well as the last. I still recommend listening as it will continue some aspects of the previous story lines.

multiple errors in the recording

the narrator recording has multiple errors where she messed up a line and restarted it, but the edits weren't completed to remove them. so far, there is one in chapter two and one in chapter three.

Possibly my favorite in the series (thus far)

Choosing a favorite book in a series is like trying to pick a favorite child, but since reading/listening to this installment in the Sevenwaters series, I've been called to re-read it over and over. Absolutely masterful storytelling that you'd expect from the incomparable Juliet Mariller, and the wonderful narration of Rosalyn Landor makes this a joy to hear. (I've noticed that of the narrators ascribed to this series, I prefer Rosalyn!) Can't praise this one highly enough!

Enchanting story telling & skilled narrator!

True to the earlier Seven Water books, this story is brimming with nature, ancient magic, and is enchantingly told. I do feel that this particular story does not have the same depth of detail and feeling as books one through three, though there are still plenty of both qualities. The chosen narrator is excellent, with consistent voices and enthralling enthusiasm. Excited to listen to the next!

Heir to Sevenwaters

This series just keeps getting better and better. I hope Juliet Marillier keeps writing!
