I didn’t expect it to be as good as it was, I figured I knew where the twists would be and it ended up surprising me. Will Wheaton did a fantastic job narrating and Ron P was simply the icing on the cake. Hilarious, attention capturing (I had trouble stopping it, oh the irony) and well worth the listen.

Amusing, entertaining and fun, Luke Daniels always makes these books even better than they are. Not exactly sure what all the fuss is about with political references in either of the two books in this series, but if you don’t like opinions different than your own, you are definitely reading the wrong author. Buck Foy had me laughing out loud multiple times and I’m already looking forward to the next book in this series.

Please continue this story!! It was gripping from moment one and I didn’t see the twist at all. The voice actor was superb! Highly recommend.

Where does The Master of All Desires rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I'd say fairly high. The plot was great, with the twists and interesting characters I've come to expect from JMR. A little history, a little intrigue, a little mystery, and some unredictable romance, it was a good book I was certainly driven to finish.

What did you like best about this story?

The wit of the characters. They never let you down in humor, cunning or determination. And they were never fully good or fully bad; they were believable.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Hollis McCarthy?

Oh gods, she was awful. I almost gave up in the beginning. She makes poor Sabille sound like a complete airhead in the beginning, and all the men sound ridiculous, but luckily the story kept me going and eventually the narrator toned the every-single-word breathlessness down a bit and it was easier to listen to. If you can just suffer through, I think the story will catch you like it did me and you can listen past the narrator. One small point in her favor is that she didn't butcher the French pronunciations.

Who was the most memorable character of The Master of All Desires and why?

Oh, such a close call here. Nostradamus was fantastic, his familiar was wonderful, but I think it was the Aunt Pauline who stole the show.

Any additional comments?

This was a great listen, even past the awful narration. Stick with it and by the end I think you will be pleased you did.
