Lively

A very lively outing for Penric and Dez. With moments of humor, the return of some characters from older stories, and well developed plot, the story shines. I enjoyed it very much.

Fine fir completists, don’t start series here

It’s possible my review might improve if I listen to this again, but not even the fine vocal stylings of Grover Gardner drew me in to this story. I was repeatedly distracted from it. Aside from being not as compelling as I would like, and the solution to the plot mystery being clear early on, the interaction of several demons was a rare event of interest to series readers for character arc/plot.

Humorous and clever. The presenter is fantastic.

Love these novellas! The characters are fun and relatable. The humor is clever and the storyline entertaining. The presenter does a wonderful job of keeping the dialogue distinguished between characters without overdoing it. I could listen to him all day.

love her books

I've read everything she has written and this series is wonderful and and I plan to start at book one and listen to it all over again

A really good tale.

I like the author’s ideas of deity and the supernatural. In addition she tells a good tale in any genera she is writing in!
