Not your typical #2 in a trilogy

What did you love best about Owlsight?

I loved that the second book in this trilogy didn't taper off in a sort of boring rolling attempt to get to the final, more exciting book. Owlsight was just as engrossing as the first book and led well into the third.

Great characters

Love reading about great characters as they develop, learn, and grow. Lackey is excellent at that.

awesome

I have always loved this trilogy! to have it read to me is amazing

Very Good

I have no complaints about this book or performance at all ! Highly recommend listening to book one first . Thoroughly enjoyed it ~

love love love it!

Mercedes Lackey is an excellent author, and this is an excellent example of that. Better with Owlflight, the first in this trilogy

I really enjoy this series but the narrator is not good. I listen at either 1.1 or 1.2 speed He also has accents that I find aggravating

familiar world unfamiliar writing style

There was just a little bit too much wordiness. I assume Larry Dixon was the primary author in this series ? It was all interesting information, but it wasn't quite interspersed with action enough... so sometimes it got quite tiring listening to the extended internal monologues.

I don't know how Lackey does it, but she manages to avoid that feeling of narration exhaustion.

Still, I enjoyed the characters and the story and look forward to further episodes in this story.

I consumed the story in Audible and thought that the narrator was pretty good ...but in addition to everything else slowing the story down, I felt that when he read the Griffin's conversation, the excessive rolling of the Rs and the pace of the speech was just a little bit too much.

I found myself getting impatient and setting the speed of the narration to 1.2 (which made the human characters too fast and the Griffin still a little too slow).

Loved the story, didn't love the reader

I love all the stories of Valdemar, this trilogy is especially fun. Seeing the familiar kingdom off Valdemar from the viewpoint of some non-heralds is interesting and having favorite characters from other books pop up in here keeps it feelings connected.

The narration, however, can be distracting to where it takes away from the overall enjoyment of a great story. I do appreciate that the reader gives each character a unique voice and tone fitting how he sees them. However, the decision to add heavy accents to certain characters was very jarring for me. In particular the accents given to all the humans from k'Leshya (but not Kelvren or Ayshen for some reason) really distracted me from the important roles they played.

This was a pretty good listen I have many books from these Authors but I wanted too know how this particular group of books would sound in a audible book . These Authors are some of my all time favorites and I have enjoyed reading their books for years so I know from experience that the books are going to be awesome . But it's the voice actors who bring these books to life well done and thank you .

Darien's second book

Darien is ready to return to his former home, but trouble may reach them sooner. A great story.
