“MacAlister hits it out of the park with this highly entertaining steampunk fantasy.” ( Booklist)

Loved it!!!

I haven’t laughed this hard reading a steam punk book EVER! Excellent characters plot and world building a grand adventure ❤️

Great story...confusing narration

I actually read this when it first came out, but I've listened to as many Katie MacAlister books as Audible has to offer, so I thought I'd give this one a listen too. The story is great and I can't wait for the second book; however, the narration for this book could have been better. Both narrators do a great job, but they should have picked one to do the entire book. Instead, they let Mr. Davis narrate the story from the main male character's point of view and Ms. Amato narrate the story from the main female character's point of view. Since they both interact with the other characters, you hear different voices and dialects for the same character depending on who's telling the story at the moment. It definitely detracts from the story, but it would have been much worse if the narrators hadn't been as talented as they are.

I Gave it a Try, Not

Would you try another book from Katie MacAlister and/or Jonathan Davis and Bianca Amato ?

No for Katie MacAlister or Bianca Amato. YES Jonathan Davis (I am a big fan of his) I love Mr. Davis in Sandra Brown's Mean Streak! Oh my, he was great. Since this was his only romance reading, and I love romance, I finally gave it a try. It had mixed reviews, but the writing is just plain awful. I am stopping as I am on ch 10 and most of book so far is read by Ms Amato. If you are a fan of Mr. Davis, pass on this one

What do you think your next listen will be?

Another Jonathan Davis or Scott Brick read.

What do you think the narrator could have done better?

Jonathan was fine, but not enough of him and Ms Amato could not make up for bad writing. I own a couple of other books by author, Karen White reader, that were better, but frankly, this author is just not for me!

Any additional comments?

I tried to stick with this, even at 1.25x new speed, but as another reviewer said, drivel.

great fun

fun story and paced well,performance was excellent,charming tale unexpected twists,all round good use of the time listening to the story.

decent steampunk

Didn't like the hero, but there were some truly hilarious parts. I simply got a bit bogged down in the other sections.
