A Vicious Machination

Revisado: 03-09-25 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Another good addition to the series. This one has a bit more tension as the accused is a character we care a lot about. (Assuming you’ve been keeping up with the Verity Lark spin-off series. If not, what are you doing?) Not as much main character development as I might have liked, but the plot was engaging enough to keep me interested.

A Lark's Conceit

Revisado: 12-01-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Another very enjoyable adventure in this series. I continue to be frustrated by Hardwicke’s - Verity’s too, but mostly Hardwicke’s - (mis)handling of their relationship. (Healthy communication, people!) The interactions between Verity and her friends really stood out to me in this book. A lot of it is funny, but you can also see how deeply they care about each other. As always there is an interesting mystery with good investigation and a satisfying conclusion.

A Murderous Tryst

Revisado: 03-10-24 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Another solid entry in the series. The mystery is engaging and there was some good character development that I found to be satisfying. There was also a rather lengthy conversation relating Kesgrave’s interactions with Verity in ‘A Lark’s Flight’ which I found to be exceedingly entertaining.

Norse Mythology

Revisado: 12-20-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

For the most part, I really enjoyed this mythology collection. It was well presented and, because this collection includes four separate books, there are quite often multiple versions of the same story. I find it fascinating to be able to see multiple takes on the same tale.
My favorite aspect of this collection is that, in the book containing the Poetic Edda, there are extensive notes accompanying each poem containing things like historic context, notes on meter and composition, and discussion of origin theories.

Mythology: Ancient Myths Collection Vol.1

Revisado: 11-25-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

Each of the books included in this collection is good on its own, so having them together is a straight improvement. In addition to the collected stories, each book includes a historical introduction that helps provide context and deeper understanding of the contents. The narration is clear and pleasant, making this a very solid audiobook production.

A Lark's Flight

Revisado: 11-16-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This installment contained rather higher stakes than the last, which I quite enjoyed. I also appreciated the relationship development between Verity and Hardwicke, though at times I wanted to scream at them to just *talk to each other!* although I understand why they did not. (*grumble grumble* professional pride *grumble*) In any case, I greatly enjoyed this book, with my favorite parts being the interactions between Verity and Kesgrave, which I found to be both enlightening and entertaining.

Korean Mythology

Revisado: 11-16-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

As always, I enjoyed listening to this collection and learning a bit about a different culture. I am not as familiar with Asian folklore in general as compared with European, so this was very interesting for me. I enjoyed the narration as well as the variety of the stories included.

Supervillain Rehabilitation Project, Part 2

Revisado: 10-09-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This set contains the second half (books 3-5) of this series. I found book three to be particularly intense, but that’s at least partially due to its dealing with one of my personal hang-ups. Overall, I’ve really enjoyed this series and I think this collection presents it well. The end of the series has decent closure with enough loose ends left to spark interest in the spin-off series.

Australian Aboriginal Mythology

Revisado: 10-09-23 El oyente recibió este título gratis

This audiobook consists of three separate volumes compiled by different people, focusing on stories from different regions/tribes. This is interesting because there are sometimes multiple stories explaining the same thing in different ways. For instance, there are at least two separate origin stories for the Pleiades in the first two volumes. I enjoy comparing mythologies, so I find this type of thing fascinating. As always, the narrator is solid and the book is arranged sensibly with some good historical context added.
