if you're offended by this book, it wasn't for you

Revisado: 10-29-18

listening to this book was like having theatre seats to my own mind mixed with straight forward ideas on how to overcome the challenges of dealing with people who, are genuinely nice, but still can't operate on a higher level. It also helps me appreciate my mental superiors and the patience they have shown.

The story is finally finding it's path

Where does Fight and Flight rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Fight and Flight is the best in the series so far. It's not in my top ten list but the genre isn't what I normally listen to.

Any additional comments?

The first book was a great start to the series with a new concept. The second book seemed like Scott Meyer wasn't sure where to take the series when I listened to it. The Third book was tiring at points but laid a stronger foundation for the world he created.

Now the group of characters is better developed and more consistent. This book actually had a story behind it beyond "more of the same" and developed a few twists that were unexpected. The realism in the manner of NPCs and the complications they create are almost better than the character development in this book. If you got bored with books 2 or 3, go back and finish them then get this book, you will pleasantly surprised.

Kind of hard to get through but worth the effort

Revisado: 05-17-17

Any additional comments?

This one was hard for me to continue. It seemed like a bit more of the same as book two and got a bit stale for me. However, after listening to the fourth book, I'm glad I didn't give up on the series.

Pay attention, it's building the story.

If you could sum up Spell or High Water in three words, what would they be?

Laying the foundation.

What did you like best about this story?

It has a lot of twists that will play out in later books. (review written after completing the fourth in the series)

Great introduction to a new series

What did you love best about Off to Be the Wizard?

It was based on a concept that I hadn't heard of yet. The geeky and uncomfortable situations are amusing.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

I've listened to Luke Daniels in many other audiobooks before and will usually give an unknown book more attention if he is the narrator.

A good short story

Revisado: 04-24-17

What did you love best about Carniepunk: The Demon Barker of Wheat Street?

This is a good short read. It sets up and moves quickly.

What did you like best about this story?

It's an Iron Druid story.

Did the narration match the pace of the story?

The narration is my only complaint about this. The person reading sounds more like my GPS navigation system than someone trying to read a story with multiple characters.

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

Yes. I did listen in one sitting.

an interesting perspective from Jane Sagan

Revisado: 06-07-16

this is one of those character development books that makes me hope that she is in future books as I work through the series. a worthy read for this who are already hooked on the story line

Can't get enough of the Iron Druid Series

Revisado: 03-01-16

Where does Staked rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This entire series is one of my favorites. I've been reading this genre since I was a kid. Forgotten Realms is the other contender. Forgotten Realms has a bit more going on in it's series but Iron Druid isn't nearly as preachy and altruistic as some of the Drizzt books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Granuaile is my favorite so far. Yes, Granuaile. I know Atticus is the main character but the development of Granuaile has better potential for future books since she is still evolving. Atticus is a great character but he's too damn lucky to be believed sometimes. He'd be luckier if he'd learn to keep his mouth shut but then we wouldn't have a story line would we?

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Luke Daniels is one of my favorite narrators. I was surprised to see he was the same narrator from other books because of his range of character voices. He makes it easier to understand that the focus from one character has shifted to another. I found myself wondering if I would have been able to keep up if I read it on hard copy.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Not one particular moment, but I did find myself laughing out loud and looking like a fool in traffic a few times.

Any additional comments?

The first Iron Druid book took me about a week to listen to. By the Fifth book, I was reading them in a day.
