Didn’t see a lot of that coming!

Loved it all. A unique take on the Holmes canon for sure, beautifully written and narrated. Answers questions I’ve always had. Scary setting especially in today’s times.
Ready for the next one!

The Sad Truth

Revisado: 02-15-25

I play fantasy football but never deeply followed the college sport and wanted to broaden my knowledge. This book did that- I began to understand (after the fact the) the ESPN stories about the possible end of college football based on things that were going on at the time and written about here. I think the research is credible and deep; the presentation is that of a good story but woven through our true though unfortunate history and present day circumstances. As the rapper says “ It’s all about the Benjamins 🤑”

Old school excellence

Gildart Jackson’s voice could get me through anything. Lots of surprises, great attention to detail in the character’s speech patterns and how they think and behave. Mysteries to be solved as the series progresses- can’t wait!

Tour de force performance!

Revisado: 11-02-24

Narrator Shayna Small took fantastical plotting merged with raw American history and turned it into 10+ magical hours. Her range of voices and emotions , including her singing voice , brought this complex story to life. I’m reading the author’s previous book next for more of this great collaboration. Beautifully done!

Can’t wait for part two

Revisado: 10-29-24

I always look forward to dipping myself in true but lighthearted fantasy. The prolific Mercedes Lackey never disappoints as she delivers story, great characters , action and emotion in a package I can handle in challenging times.

Left me wanting more depth .

Revisado: 10-22-24

I did not do previous research into Mr. Dunbar’s life and was unfamiliar with his work , other than what our teachers gave us for Black History Month. I’m left feeling I still don’t have great insight into the man or the poet.
A tragic figure who I continue to believe has even more ‘meat on the bone’ to discover. From his wife, to his personal demons, the contributions and highlights of whatever actually and ultimately constituted his life - I don’t have the bottom of the stories that were introduced.

The music was so moving- pure magic!

Revisado: 10-05-24

I alternated in the first several chapters between wanting the book to be over and wanting to know what would happen next. These characters as voiced by the narrator were not instantly likable to me, except for Miss Quinn, but the sheer creativity and imagination and lovely writing got me hooked. I will likely listen again, my highest praise and not something I often make time to do in the vast array of available distractions and new offerings.

Did not want to leave these people!

Revisado: 08-16-24

I enjoyed going in depth with each character and the particulars of how she used the feature for each one in advancing the story. And while I got tired of the recipes, I didn’t skip through them but used the time to process what I’d just read, and anticipate what might come.
Will read more of her work! GREAT narration- really helped the story soar.

My favorite since Discovery of Witches

Revisado: 07-25-24

Jennifer Ikeda’s aptitude with foreign languages and accents in general adds a welcome layer to the story. Sometimes I felt the writing went on a bit much but I never wanted to give up. Such fraught lives but centered in love and comfort - I look forward to the next one!

A great series opener !

Revisado: 07-15-24

While this is a typical example of the category, the narration brought it up a level and the story had enough complexity and different points of view to really excite my interest. Waiting for Book 2!
