The information in the book is wonderful. However, Russell has a strong commanding voice that unfortunately comes across as angry

Story
"No killing Goblins." So reads the sign outside of The Wandering Inn, a small building run by a young woman named Erin Solstice. She serves pasta with sausage, blue fruit juice, and dead acid flies on request. And she comes from another world. Ours. It's a bad day when Erin finds herself transported to a fantastical world and nearly gets eaten by a Dragon. She doesn't belong in a place where monster attacks are a fact of life, and where Humans are one species among many. But she must adapt to her new life. Or die.

Not a Fan of the Main Character

Liked the Performance but,
Gave up after 4 hours of listening.
I am not a fan of the main character.
She whines a lot.
Never left feeling happy or with a good take away.
Maybe if I had keep listening, it would have gotten better.
Just not the story for me.

Story
This comprehensive novel consists of three subplots which interlink to form the whole and supply a trio of targets at which Trollope aims his proselytising pen. The first treats on the courtship of a woman by a man whom she does not love and with whom she is not compatible. Mary Lowther will not accept such a marriage of dishonesty. The second deals with the plight of a young woman who has fallen prey to the wiles of an evil seducer and subsequently adopts a life of prostitution.

Narrator is angry!
Reviewed: 01-14-20
The storyline is excellent. The cast of characters are great. However, the narrator makes everybody seem really angry and painful to listen to.
