Okay... I am totally hooked!!!

Wen Spencer with the narration of Tanya Eby not only made me care about the main characters from the very beginning, but also made their worlds implausibly real. By doing that, my own imagination took flight making the storyline my own... as if I was actually there by invitation. This is a very intoxicating and compelling combination of traits that signals a great read! I can't wait to listen to the next book in the series!!! 8-)

Physics and a 18 year old a little hard to believe

I suspended all idea's of realism and found this book most enjoyable. There is just enough action to keep you riveted and enough magic to suspend reality. I also love the fact that the characters in the book are not perfect and when they make mistakes it is world shattering.

Great world building and characters

The story was well written and enjoyable. I liked the main characters. The romance was sweet and only caused me to roll my eyes a few times. Overall the pros outweighed the cons. Just once though I would like a strong female to act like a woman and not a swooning idiot. "Make love to me Wind Wolf!" Ack gag cough gag vomit vomit. Just No.

loved it.

the story is immersive and well thought out. the performer does well to capture the essence.

Love this series!

I am rereading this book for the 3rd time!! Light and fun and very imaginative!
