Started off good, got worse

It was a really interesting idea and well executed, but it got very confusing and detail oriented and the relationship never really went anywhere. I wish I had stopped a couple books in.

Great story. Disappointing narrator

Although the narrator created different voices for each character, I disagreed with the personalities those voices implied.

The voice actor for the most part kept up with the different voices

I wish the ending was happier. I wish she got her love in the end.

Almost didn't listen because"god" talk

The very beginning said something about "god" so I almost didnt listen. But it's not abot God, it's just a good scifi story and i really enjoyed it.

Started off great

I loved books one through three but the author really lost me by the fourth book. I just think the author kind of went off into separate story lines and ended up being kind of hard to follow. She ties everything together by the end…

Started off good but ending was disappointing

Starting, it felt promising. Interesting world building, different types of magic. But as the ending was approaching, it felt extremely rushed and felt like the author was just ready to end it. The ending was left open, but it was a bit of a sad ending to me, which to me I enjoy a sad ending. The narrator I enjoyed. Giving each characters their own voices so it’s easier to keep up with who is talking.

Drags in places but good overall

Setting: Excellent
Overall plot: Excellent
Characters: Okay
Pacing: Poor to Okay

Could have been 3 books. The main characters are often unlikable, and the protagonist shows practically no agency whatsoever for the majority of the story. That can be maddening at times. Picks up for a great ending. Wish the author had had a better editor.

narrator not my favourite

weird long pauses, huge differences in volume that made me keep having to turn the sound up and down in order to understand. also disagreed with her portrayal of a few of the characters (Archibald particularly) and the way she interpreted lines differently from how they were written, ie one character says something "sensuously" and she shouted it like an old timey auctioneer, or the text says the character rolls all their Rs and her narration doesnt do that (i get its a translation but its still in there). shes good, just too many hours in a row of this stuff and it started to really grate on me.

the first two books i loved, this lost me part way through the third.

what a journey

It was so much fun to listen to this story. Book 1 and 2 was amazing and then it lost steam. But it's still well worth a listen.

narrator did a good job. and production was solid.

Disappointed

Story 4.5⭐
Romance 2.8⭐
Spice 0⭐
The story is great, there is an interesting twist, plenty of adventure and character development.
The romance is kind of sweet but... Ophelia and Thorn are married and the author acts like a simple kiss is as spicy as jalapeno peppers. It's not!
I was really disappointed.

Thorn and Ophelia relationship was developing, a little oddly, but it had it sweet moments and I enjoyed them, but when you reach the pinnacle point where you think something is going to happen, they have a moment and their it fades to black.
Its not like I was expecting a full on spicy scene but I was hoping for more then a very simple kiss like maybe a little passionate kissing or some caresses.
