Wonderful!!

Yes, they changed the narrator. But I think I enjoyed Amanda more? I thought she did a great job. She made Mor sound a bit Irish which was weird and of course, I hear everyone else in my head differently than she performs (I read this book in hardback first and then listened to it) but I still found myself engaged in the story and could differentiate between the characters through her performance so that was nice.

I slightly agree with another reviewer in saying that the intimate scenes weren't as "sexy" in her voice but I also find myself a little weirded out being read intimate details so it could just be me. And the other narrator sounded much older than Feyre is supposed to be so who wins really?

As for the story.... OMGBESTILLMYHEART.

Rip me open why don't ya.
So many things to say about the story but I don't like spoilers or anything that could make people guess or think they know what's happening so, I tell you nothing.

It's a roller coaster. Feyre is BA. Rhys is perfect. Everything was awesome (queue singing)

God boom but too many sex scenes

the narrator was awesome. The story was well written and interesting to listen to. I would have given it 5 starts if it wasn't for the sex scenes. I don't mind a little of erotica, but these scenes tend to go on and on and on. They don't advance the story at all, in fact they offer an unwelcome pause to the plot of the book. It was still a great novel overl all and I will be reading the next book ❤

Good continuation of the storyline (No spoilers)

This books has explained alot of characters from book 1&2 (Hence its length 82 chapter). Plot still exciting! Performance of the reader is 4/5 with some chapters weakly read as the others but overall still great! Excited to listen to the next book.

Review on the audible narrative of court of wings an ruin.

I really , really enjoyed Amanda Leigh Cobbs narrative of a court of wings and ruin, far more than the previous talented narrator. She brought life and emotion into the text. So much ,that I found my self acting out some of her motions, as if I was the character doing them. I read all the books first, but I’ve been working a lot, so I have started listening to the audio books, and it has changed my world. Please send more material for her to do more narratives!!! It’s a master class in its self!

LOVE THE NEW NARRATOR

I honestly like the new narrator more than the last! I think she did a terrific job and although the old narrator was good as well I just like the new one more :)

Good story but...

I listened to this the day it came out and I didn't notice it... But then I just re listened to all of them and had to turn it off. It's the not narrators fault. She was hired to do it, but I can't continue listening to her narrate. Why'd they change the original narrator? I have the hard copies so I'll just read them instead of listening.

Amazing!! Couldn't stop listening!

And epic ending to this incredible trilogy.

New narrator, but honestly didn't notice at all. She was fantastic and did justice to all the characters.

Narrator is fine.

What made the experience of listening to A Court of Wings and Ruin the most enjoyable?

A kick ass female protagonist. She's not waiting in the wings. She's getting things done with the best outfits. Creepy monsters. Sexy men. Magic (Even ex-boyfriends)

What other book might you compare A Court of Wings and Ruin to and why?

Conan the barbarian except cooler.

Have you listened to any of Amanda Leigh Cobb’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No. I liked this one. She did a good job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Mostly saying, "Don't go in there!" and "Bring some back up, you idiot!"

Any additional comments?

I liked the nod to J. R. R. Tolkein.
