“If you want a good fantasy audio book, go listen to Shadowmagic by John Lenahan, or anything by Philippa Ballantine. Podcastle is an excellent source of fantasy short stories. Whatever you do, DO NOT waste your time with this book.
I'm pretty sure that the only reason so many people like this books is due to the excellent narration. This narrator seriously should go to work for a better author. If this was a print book, I would have given up on it after two or three pages. As it was, I listened to about 10 episodes before realizing that the only reason I kept listening was because making fun of the writing was more fun than the story itself. The descriptions are tedious, unecessary, and incredibly repetitive. The plot, while based on an interesting premise, advances so slowly that watching grass grow would be more fulfilling. The characters are incredibly shallow, often contradictory, and usually resemble caricatures more than real people. This story would be much improved if about half of it were chopped out, and the characters given more complex and convincing motivations. The author would greatly benefit from a competent editor or writing group.”

I'm only waiting around to see how it ends, but honestly it has taken such a long time that I really don't care about the characters anymore. This should be a clue to...”Read full review »
