Fun Series

Revisado: 07-06-19

If you are looking for a fun, light hearted, series with a kick ass female lead, this is a great option. The plots are just ok, but if you add up the performance, characters and general mood of the series, the sum exceeds the parts. I can't wait for the next one.

Another fantastic book from Novak

Revisado: 07-31-18

Naomi Novik is so brilliant. Her characters and plots are human and hopeful in a way that few do well. This book was a joy to listen to. Lisa Flanagan’s reading was superb. Each character’s voice had nuance and was recognizable but the differences were subtle enough to not break the rhythm of the book. Loved it.

A fun but lack luster installment in a good series

Revisado: 05-12-12

I enjoyed listening to this, but the plot doesn't make a lot of sense. If I was a 2000 year old druid, I think I could come up with better plans than the ones Atticus does in this book. I don't demand a lot of logic from fantasy novels (they are about magic after all), but Hearne doesn't even try to be consistent in this book. Atticus travel for centuries throughout the America's before Columbus but he can't understand when the Dine people speak. Really? He has a perfect memory for everything else. The plot is riddled with holes and seemed directionless.

So boring I couldn't finish it

Revisado: 05-12-12

Most of the Elemental Masters series read like Young Adult fantasies. Sweet, not complicated bits of fantasy fluff that can be enjoyable if listened to with the right perspective. This one was just bad, bad, bad. Seriously the most boring thing I have tried to listen to. Obvious plot, ridiculously stupid characters, and uninspired narration. Yuck. Save your credits or money.

An unusual and entertaining book

This book is a refreshing change from many standard fantasy story lines. Thoroughly enjoyable.

A wonderful novel

Revisado: 07-30-11

This is one of the best Audiobooks I have listened to this year. The main characters are fantastic: warm, funny, brave and vulnerable. I normally hate when the narration of a book is divided between multiple people, but with this book it was a brilliant choice. The writer and narrators' skills combined to create characters that I felt like I was truly getting to know and love.

The back drop of the segregated South and the subtle and overt dangers the main character's faced created a tension that kept me engrossed in the story. I have no experience with which to judge if the portrayal of the humiliations, hatred, affections, bigotry and fear are accurate for that time in the South. It felt real and balanced though.

A solid installment in a fun series

Revisado: 07-30-11

People need to get over the fact that James Marsters wasn't available to read the book. Too many of the reviews sound like they were written by petulant children. I loved how he read the other books and would have preferred him as the narrator. However, John Glover does a fine job as well.

The novel itself is very much in line with the other books in the series. Similar humor, adventure, and guilt ridden angst. At points, it does seem to be a bit more like a bridge between the story arch of the last book and what ever is coming next than its own novel -- sort of a method for rapid advancement of the other characters. It is compelling though and kept me interested until the very end.
