Narration distracting from characters

In the original novek , the Peri character had a West Indies accent. In this novel the character had a southern tone. It was distracting. The character of James had a hokey sounding southern dialect which did not match the successful worldly man that had lived abroad.That was distract ng as well.

Well Written, Well Narrated, Poignant

There’s a bittersweet theme that runs though this series as we watch a group of random crafters become friends and come to rely on each other through the highs and lows of life. The writing feels forthright and honest and relatable.

The narrator makes or breaks a book for me. In all 3 books, Friday Night Knitting Club, Knit Two and here, the narration is superb.

Warm and Entertaining

Knit the Season is a great way to complete the holiday season. With the hustle and bustle of all that comes with this busy time of year, Knit the Season provides a smooth transition from family and chaos to the lessons we learn from spending quality time with friends and family.

just okay

I enjoy these characters but there is too much reliance on Georgia's character in the story's plot. The characters are strong enough and interesting enough that Georgia is more distracting. I want to hear about the other characters lives more. This was okay but not an essential read in my opinion.

A decent continuation

Having read the first and second Friday Night Knitting Club novels in paperback format I was excited to find the audiobook for Knit the Season. While I normally enjoy Carrington MacDuffie's readings, I found this novel underwhelming as I had not pictured the characters with voices like those that Carrington MacDuffie portrayed, and found some of her pronunciations over the top.
Nevertheless, Knit the Season was worth the read if you enjoyed the first two novels, although I don't think I'll be quick to jump on the fourth novel if ever one is released.
