Historia5 out of 5 stars 904
Katarina Ashowan was not made for courtly life. Sure, her father is the famous house witch of Daxaria so she was raised among majestic castles, proper manners, and royal expectations. But Kat is also a mutated witch whose power aligns predominantly with fire. She’s more comfortable riding horses or learning to fight than she is making polite conversation and wearing fancy dresses. Which is why her upcoming assignment—serving her best friend, Alina, the soon-to-be crowned Troivackian queen—is anything but ideal.

Mollie left school at age fourteen and became a scullery maid for a wealthy gentleman with a mansion house in London's Knightsbridge and a Tudor manor in Norfolk. Even though her days were long and grueling and included such endless tasks as polishing doorknobs, scrubbing steps, and helping with all of the food prep in the kitchen, Mollie enjoyed her freedom and had a rich life.

For five grand a month and a million-dollar chaser, Roger Mulligan didn't care how crazy the old geezer was. All he had to do was keep Joseph Perry Shackleford alive and keep him from squandering the estate for a year. But they didn't tell him about the pixies.

I enjoyed this book. It is odd that Mulligan turns around emotionally so quickly.
The word is not LIBARY!!! Please say it correctly until you can say it correctly every time!

Good Book, Lousy Narration
Revisado: 02-12-18
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would recommend the book itself, not this reading. This is one of my favorite books in the Vorkosigan series.
What didn’t you like about Grover Gardner’s performance?
He needs to make notes on:
How he pronounces names - he changes the pronunciation randomly Laisa can be Lisa, La-is-sa, or LAYsa.
What type of accent he uses for each character, Enrigue has at least 3 different accents early on.
Each of these occasions pulls the listener out of the book. That isn't the point in having the book narrated!

The mysterious reappearance of magery throughout the land has been met with suspicion, fear, and violence. In the kingdom of Lyonya, Kieri, the half-elven, half-human king, struggles to balance the competing demands of his heritage while fighting a deadly threat to his rule: evil elves linked in some way to the rebirth of magic. Meanwhile, in the neighboring kingdom of Tsaia, a set of ancient artifacts recovered by the former mercenary Dorrin Verrakai may hold the answer to the riddle of magery’s return.

Find out the pronunciation, please!
Revisado: 12-27-15
What did you like best about Crown of Renewal? What did you like least?
I like the continuation of the story arc that started with Sheepherder's Daughter.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
All of the other audio books in the series have a certain pronunciation for the words devised by the author. As in Paks pronounced Pox. This narrator threw all of that out and read it in her own way. That is irritating as it breaks the continuity. Occasionally I was thrown out of the story by trying to figure out what the narrator meant.
Do you think Crown of Renewal needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, there are still questions that need to be answered.

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I like the series. Bought them hardbound when they came out. I couldn't get past the narrator's voice or his reading manner. I don't know why, but I turned the book off shortly after starting it!

Growing up, Travis Uriah Long yearned for order and discipline in his life...he two things his neglectful mother couldn’t or wouldn’t provide. So when Travis enlisted in the Royal Manticoran Navy, he thought he’d finally found the structure he’d always wanted so desperately. But life in the RMN isn’t exactly what he expected. Boot camp is rough and frustrating; his first ship assignment lax and disorderly; and with the Star Kingdom of Manticore still recovering from a devastating plague, the Navy is possibly on the edge of budgetary extinction.

Would you try another book from David Weber and Timothy Zahn and/or Eric Michael Summerer?
By David Weber and Timothy Zahn, but not for Eric Michael Summerer!
Do you think A Call to Duty needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
Yes, it seems to be a springboard to more books about Travis Long.

The only chance for human survival is in the hands of an unusual pair of allies: a young Jao prince, newly arrived to Terra to assume his duties, and a young human woman brought up amongst the Jao occupiers. But, as their tentative alliance takes shape, they are under pressure from all sides.

Pronunciation is irritating
Revisado: 04-07-15
Where does The Course of Empire rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
I liked the book in print form, so bought the audio version. I was shaken out of the story frequently for pronunciation "originality." There are many words that are in general use that are pronounced strangely.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Too many to count.
What do you think the narrator could have done better?
Please learn how to pronounce the words before you read them. If you have a question about pronunciation, look it up!

This is another great book by Pierce, it is not only an engrossing listen/read, but causes the reader to think about the issues of equality and power, while enjoying the book. This one gives an end to the set that readers enjoy, yet allows us to look forward to seeing the characters in other books.

Young Aly follows in the quieter footsteps of her father, however, delighting in the art of spying.
