Good advice

Revisado: 05-10-25

Narration sometimes borders on reading a succinct powerpoint presentation. Some good advice for people persuing various creative pursuits.

Made me feel warm

Revisado: 03-08-25

Such a positive ending, needed at this time. Narration was good overall, had a few moments when I wasn't sure what character he was in, and also didn't care for voicing of younger child - just my objection to whining, perhaps.
Recommend if you need a lift 👍

Returned it

Revisado: 10-27-24

The premise was promising, it sounded, expecting a quirky mystery-fantasy-touch of time travel. Well, yes, there's some of that, not so quirky, and honestly boringly trite, in my opinion. Female oppression from the get-go. But mostly annoyed, to the point of returning it, by poorly written and developed characters of Martha, etc, many of which I, often, found cringe-worthy. Just nope, sorry. I wanted to like it.

First impression was dubious but

Revisado: 09-23-24

Once I realized that Maude was going to be a minor character I was hooked. Excellent narration more than held my interest with a mostly fact-based account of WWI women volunteers. An eye-opening perspective of wartime activities and sacrifices.

Robin can narrate anything for me...

Delightfully poetic perspective of our intuitive care of nature and a call to action for controlling the windigos causing climate change.

Not a Sci-Fi fan yet this is a riveting story line

Revisado: 08-31-23

But I am not sure I will finish it.
PS - I did finish it, after a week's break.

Yes, quality writing and quality narration, with technical info to make it sooo believable. At 4hrs I was hooked!!
But the copious facts, and astronomy, and mathematics and the "holy moly" surprises go on and on and on. And on. Just too much second by second, play by play, thought by thought, thinking out loud for me. By 10hrs, I was worn down. No.More.Please.
[Thankfully Grace WAS in a mute coma those first 13+-(?) years.]
Straat was cool though.

Such annoying narration

Revisado: 05-18-23

I tried hard to enjoy the story line, which seemed promising. Killavey sounds like he is an early poor quality atrempt at electronically read text. He especially butchers narration of conversations, particularly what might be efforts to imitate French or British accents? Painful at times. Too bad.

Totally absorbed!

Revisado: 04-17-23

I use Audibles as a bedtime "snack", 30-60-90 minutes each evening when settling in. This story though...not a responsible snack for me, as I kept resetting the timer for another 30mins, "over-ate" terribly and lost sleep, far beyond my responsible bedtime. Captivated by anticipated and satisfying plot twists, it did end in a way I'd hoped. If you enjoy WWI-II period fiction this should be quite satisfying.

As a seamstress and Boston native

Revisado: 04-01-23

Enthralled with Barbara Davis' writing of Soline's history and conversations, as well as Soline's narration. Plot twists kept me anticipating. Hoped there was going to be more "dress witch magique". Rory's narrator voice changed, bouncing between chapters which was confusing, and men's voices where pretty lame. Overall I would certainly recommend this an may look for other books by this author.

Reasonable introductory content

Revisado: 01-10-23

Not technical enough for me but an okay intro.
BUT horrible, somewhat painful narration, and perhaps this book should include a coupon for post-listening agita. Eric mispronounced words unfamiliar to him, a pet peeve of mine, and took no or ineffective pauses where they were certainly expected. Just because he can read doesn't mean he should be paid to do for the public. 👎
