Lady of Light and Shadows

Awesome book

I loved this series ...the charcters are smart and funny with a deep sense of loyalty to each other ...This is one of those series you have to start wih the first book and go through the rest , you can't skip around or you will be lost ....I have the feeling the series was probably written as one big book since there are no real gaps between the books.each book you see the progression of the characters and their relationships ...Ellie and Rien have one of those stories you just fall in love with.
The narration is actually good and I normally don't like most of the female narrators.This book is well worth the money

Great Book, Good Narration

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I love the Fading Lands Series. Unfortunately many of the other books in this series are marred by less than stellar narrations by narrators with peculiar voice patterns - nasally twangs and lisps who trip over words or misspeak them and cant be bothered to go back and fix their mistakes.

However, Book 2 - Lady of Light and Shadows is happily free of these issues, so you can actually just sit back and become immersed in the story.

What other book might you compare Lady of Light and Shadows to and why?

I don't think there is quite anything else like this series out there. It's a bit of a romance, with quite a lot of fantasy adventure in a fairly complex world. It's much less formulaic then a lot of the other romance/fantasy writers out there, which is very nice, and as mentioned before has a far more sweeping canvass of a world for the characters to move through. I can't wait to see what C.L. Wilson does with the new book she is working on called THE WINTER KING, set in a world called Mystral, and after that it's back to the Fading Lands!

Which character – as performed by Amy Cardy – was your favorite?

This book was all about Ellysetta, and very well done.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, very much so.

Any additional comments?

I wish Amy Cardy had narrated all the books.

Should have kept this narrator!

Great continuation of an epic story. Amy Cardy was also the perfect narrator for this book. She portrayed the characters personalities exactly as I would have imagined them.

Great follow-up

This was a wonderful second book in the series, and moved the story much further along. It is also more pacy, with a lot more action and battle, with plenty of sensual romance. Good narration makes this a great listen.

Best Fantasy Romance series ever!

If you like Fantasy Romance you will LOVE this series. No other series compares, believe me, I have read several. C. L. Wilson is an amazingly gifted author. I have devoured all of her books. I am impatiently waiting for more but you can’t rush perfection.

Note on the narration. I was hoping for an improvement after listening to the first book of the series and it wasn’t. She sounded like Jane Fonda (really!) spoke so fast, it felt really rushed. I hope the series gets a do over on the audio editions with a narrator (the same one please!) who has a younger voice and acting skills. The Weathermages of Mystral has a wonderful narrator. Tillie Hooper and Kate Rudd are also great narrators.

Outstanding!!!!!!',,,,,,,,,

Cal Wilson you are awesome, to all of my audio partners you have got to listen to this tale. From the beginning Wilson weaves such a exotic heart wrenching plot that I hated pausing my listening when I reach my destination commuting back and forwards to and staying up to the wee hours knowing I needed some shut eye. Listeners this is a keeper you have got to listen to this series. I am in love with all the Warriors. Elyseter you are a star and true queen . I purchased more of the saga and I am on to the next. C L Wilson keep them coming you are a superb story teller

Not the best narrator, great book series

This reader makes a lot of mistakes, so annoying. Worse she tends to drone, esp when voicing male dialog.
