Incredible Series
Reviewed: 09-09-19
This series was such a huge surprise. My girls LOVE listening to it on road trips, and I fell in love with it too. This narrator is so brilliant! She does all the voices so well and they are so fun to listen to. This is an intelligent series with fabulous adventures and wonderful life lessons. Terrific!

Elementalist Rielle needs to get to the man she loves before the assassin pursuing him finds her mark. There's only one problem: she's chained aboard a slave ship bound for a foreign land. And her new life is harsh, with her movements watched, food scarce, and safety even scarcer. Immortals ravage Emaurria, and a distant relation sparks the fires of rebellion against the new king while shrewd royals angle for an advantageous marriage.

I am a huge Sarah J. Maas fan, and these books are just as addictive so far! These characters get more and more complex with each twist in the plot, and I actually found myself staying up way too late trying to listen to more.
Amanda Leigh Cobb is a narrating genius. So many voices and accents, and I could always tell who was speaking. I also got choked up more than once.
Each character has such a terrific backstory and amazing challenges. It is so heartbreaking too. Such an incredible journey. Rielle and Jon and Brennan and and and . . . it just keeps getting better!! I can't wait for COURT OF SHADOWS.

I loved how these short stories changed narrators and introduced us to so many characters living in the town. So many different perspectives. The people felt real, and I liked that the drama was subtle, like life.

Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, Tara Westover was seventeen the first time she set foot in a classroom. Her family was so isolated from mainstream society that there was no one to ensure the children received an education, and no one to intervene when one of Tara’s older brothers became violent. When another brother got himself into college, Tara decided to try a new kind of life. Her quest for knowledge transformed her, taking her over oceans and across continents, to Harvard and to Cambridge University.

This story is made even more incredible by the fact that it is TRUE!!! Gorgeous writing. Flawless narration. The obstacles and ignorance this young woman overcomes in order to understand herself and the world are absolutely astounding. I immediately gifted this to all the women in my family. Highly recommend.

Not that bad!!
Reviewed: 05-03-17
After seeing these reviews, I was really scared to listen to this. I loved the first 2 books SO MUCH! Jennifer Ikeda ruled. Why the switch!? I wish she had kept going, and I don't know why they chose someone new, but honestly? Once I got over being pissed off, it wasn't that bad! I mean, Amanda is no Jennifer, but I think she did her best. The characters were good. Lucien's brothers were fantastically evil. I just miss the overall tone of Jennifer as Feyre. I felt like I got to know her, and now it was like a completely different person.
And since this book is over 25 hours long, how were people writing reviews THE FIRST DAY IT CAME OUT!? I don't think half those people even gave the new narrator a chance. They couldn't have had the time to listen to it. So. I admit, it took a while for her to find her stride, I think, but once I got past my initial shock and dismay, and I started listening to the story itself? I was still interested, and I was still moved.
Chapter 44 - with all the high lords? And that scene with the cliff? Oh - and Lord Grayson scene with Elaine???? Come on. It was good. Admit it. Of course, you have to listen that far.
It probably sucks to step into such a popular series, so I say job well done -- even if I wish Jennifer was still doing it....

The debut psychological thriller that will forever change the way you look at other people's lives. Every day the same. Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life - as she sees it - is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

Where does The Girl on the Train rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
It is one of the best books I've listened to this year.
What did you like best about this story?
I loved the shifting POVs and the fact that all of the characters remain sympathetic while being completely flawed human beings.

"Being Simon Thorne, friend and collaborator to Lady Abigail Moran, isn't easy. Yes, being a daring thief does have its charms. But I still haven't convinced Abigail that she loves me, and thievery, for all the romantical writers say of it, is not the way to wealth. Especially if Abigail insists we continuously repair the airship with our ill-gotten gains."

For venture capitalist Adam Sutherland, attending Camp Winnehawkee's reopening was a no-brainer. He's even reuniting with former camp counselors to chip in and help revive the camp. What he isn't expecting is to find a girl sleeping in his bunk. Or that the girl is none other than Julia McKee, who went from shy and awkward Good Girl to scorching-hot babe…
