For the last five years, one small village's tithe has been the same woman. Gilene's sacrifice protects all the other young women of her village, and her secret to staying alive lies with the magic only she possesses. But this year is different. Azarion, the Empire's most famous gladiator, has somehow seen through her illusion - and is set on blackmailing Gilene into using her abilities to help him escape his life of slavery.

Those lovely beasts derive their power directly from their mistress and just happen to kill any who cross their paths. To get there, you first must pass through the Dragon's Ground. Full of, you guessed it, dragons who for the record, also do not like trespassers. Sounds like a fun place to go, doesn't it? Yeah, not so much.

And it turns out, I have a crap load of it. As a latent power awakens deep inside of me, I'm exposed to one of the most powerful and corrupt organizations in the magical world - the Mages' Guild.

review
Is there anything you would change about this book?
Yes, I'm upset that on book six: the Narrator decided to change Janelle's voice to be Scottish! Why would you do that. It throws the whole book off. You fall in love with the characters in the books by the sound you give them and then in the middle of the series you change the style of the main characters voice. Makes it hard to follow.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Tangled Webs?
The concept of the book. Taking the blood and putting them in the Landends way of life. Brilliant idea.
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
yes it did, except that he changed Janelle's voice.
Did Tangled Webs inspire you to do anything?
no
Any additional comments?
no

Not a Stand Alone!
Why this is offered and not the series it comes from, I don't know. This book can only be understood if you've read Ann Bishop's Dark Jewels Trilogy. If you haven't - don't bother. You won't understand any of it.
If you have and liked the series enough to want more - then I recommend it. This is pure escapism and as such is low on shocking plot twits or anything of that sort. It's just the characters we all know and love from the Black Jewels Trilogy coming out to play again.
It's actually something of a Halloween story but would be fun at any time of the year.
Not great literature, no. But all the more fun for it's touch of silliness.

I can't get past the voice change
Would you try another book from Anne Bishop and/or John Sharian?
Yes, I will continue to listen to the series
What was one of the most memorable moments of Tangled Webs?
Ugh really the change of Janelle's voice threw it all off for me. How can the narrator/producer/author not remember the way the first FIVE books were read? Why change it in the middle? So shoddy
How did the narrator detract from the book?
Completely changed the main characters voice and accent. She sounds like an old crone now
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
no

Our favorite characters out to play
Any additional comments?
This book is clearly an excuse to play with everyone's favorite characters from the dark jewels trilogy again. It is great to read about friendly faces but the story is...trite. As many other reviewers have said, it is a Halloween story.
Also, Janelle's accent went weird in this book. Apparently she has an Irish brogue now.

I couldn't do it, narrator ruined this book
I've listened and loved all of the books in the series up until now. The narrator gives Jaenelle, the main character, a friggin Scottish accent. I could kick myself for not heeding the warning of other reviewers before buying. I couldn't get past the 6min mark.
I apologize for having to give the Story 1 star, because Audible makes you mark all 3 to write a review. I have no idea how the story is, nor will I ever, unfortunately.

I love this sieries but I can't do this book.
from out of no where Janelle's voice got an accent and some how changed her whole demeanor for me. instead of a somewhat shy, secretive person as her her whole personality changed and I didn't like the change.
I just couldn't listen to it anymore.

Well...
This wasn't my favorite of the BJT stories and I agree with other readers it's a great Halloween story.
John Sharian's performance ruined it a little for me. Not only did he give Jaenelle a weird accent but Daemon's voice was off in some parts too. It just wasn't as consistent as it had been in ALL the other novels.
