More of the same

I enjoy this series. Nothing mind blowing or overly original, but enjoyable. It is starting to be a bit predictable though, her last book in the series was better.

wonderful ending

Slow moving at times but engaging. Characters you care about. Enjoyed the ending a lot.

Disappointed in this particular one in the series

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

More action and adventure, and less politics and slow pace.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Predictable.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

I didn't mind most of the voices, and in fact, she is good. I just didn't like the voice of the lead's love interest. It did not at all sound appealing. Personal, I know, but there we are.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

It was part of a very good series, which up until now has been quite lively and full of different things happening. It felt like a background novel to the real action going on.

Any additional comments?

The lead's love interest was particularly unappealing and never engaged my own interest. The description, and sound of his voice, and involvement in plot were unpleasant and I felt disappointed.

Another Great Book

I have been following Sharon Shinn since the first Angel novel. She never fails to write an enjoyable, thoughtful and interesting story. I become attached to her characters and feel like I know them. Her women use their power for the good of all. They are courageous and learn from their mistakes. Jennifer Van Dyck's narration is the icing on the cake. The elemental blessings series meets her high standards and I can't wait for the next one in the series.

Outstanding

I totally love this series. It is a fun set of books to listen to. I was so happy when she came out with more books in the series and I hope she has more she will write. I want to know more about all the characters and see how Mally grows up. I would definitely tell you to read this series of books. Can't wait for the next one.

Captivating

I can't wait to read the next book in the elemental series. Maybe more adventures with Leah and Chandrin.

Worthy sequel to a great series

Sharon Shinn is a master (mistress? -:) ) at creating delightful, complex and well-developed worlds. The narrator seems to be a perfect fit. There seems to be a kind of closure at the end of this book, but I hope to be pleasantly surprised by another volume.
