I can’t

The narrator is horrible. I can’t get into the story at all because of her voice.

book is very enjoyable, narration is bland

wish i had read instead of listened - please don’t continue with this robotic, lifeless narrator (she improves while reading other characters’ pitches/accents, but as the main character’s internal monologue she was intolerable)

So Good!

This is not my normal genre and I’ve only ever read maybe one or two books like it. I knew to expect great things right away because I’m a huge fan of KA Tucker’s writing. I was never bored, the descriptions of the world were detailed without being daunting, the characters were interesting and well developed. There is love, action, magic, monsters, and monarchy. Highly recommend even if it’s not your normal genre! I can’t wait for the next book

awful narrator

I was so convinced I would love the story that for the first time I ever I didn't bother to listen to the sample clip. HUGE mistake. the narrator was unbearable. it is so robotic and over exaggerated at the same time it felt like I was a child being read to before nap time. grating and uncomfortable. I literally couldnt make it to chapter 1. Ill just have to read the hard copy I guess. still annoyed that I spent my last credit on this.

Anxious for the next book.

Love the world building in this story. We follow our young protagonist to a strange new world and learn about the world as she does. Even after half way through we still discovering new things that questions the ways of this world. The characters are also a highlight. I love the way they start off despising the protagonist, but slowly warm up to her, each at a different pace. Can't wait until the next book.

I loved it

I still have 3.5 hours left of this book but figured I would write a quick review. I am really enjoying this book and kinda wish I had found it after the 2nd was already released because I am not looking forward to this one ending and obviously leaving certain things unanswered. The narrator is good with different accents, her normal just reading voice is a little drab but it doesn't bother me....I am sure there will be people who critique that though. The book is great though!

Great book horrible narrator

This book was great. Great world building I love the characters. At the narrator was a real challenge. She was almost robotic sounding.

Absolutely mind capturing!

I was very excited to first start this. I had a few doubts due to how many fantasy stories go in the same direction as all the rest. However, I was truly put in my place through reading this. Again and again, I thought to myself, “This is an amazing read.”

I truly enjoyed and would read this book again later on. I’m dying for the second book to this in July 12th. This was my first experience with an audiobook and I was also quite impressed with the quality and the stunning way the narrator was able to capture and keep my attention the whole time. I heard absolutely no stumbling or word fixing. I also am a strong believer of the voice being an attractive part of a person and I thought her voice was pleasant and calming.

Truly would recommend the book and the audiobook to any and all. I’m absurdly dazzled by the complexity and quality of the book.

Thank you for an amazing -read- listen, haha!

Speed up the Narrator

I very much enjoyed the story. I think the combination of characters are greatly varied and I love the differences. There were a few characters I think deserved a little more to their story. The ending is a little cliche.

Now my issue, the narrator. I was bored at the first sentence. It took far to long to get those words out, I sped it up to 1.2 and it made all the difference to include making it sound like she had inflection in her voice. I feel that this book could benefit from a more creative narration.

Oh my goodness!!!!!

I wish I could give this book 1,000 Stars. what a story! I enjoyed the character development, the twists and turns, and I cannot wait for the next book!
