All of the plot twists and turns. The series just keeps getting better! I couldn't wait to continue this story after finishing the Noble Fool.

The strong emotions it brought up in me. Shows what someone who is just a "regular guy" will do for justice.

His voices brings the characters to life. You become part of the story listening to all of the distinct voices.

Towards the end when Noble and Malice confront Weaver. Didn't think it would come out that way!!

What does Paul J. McSorley bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Paul J McSorley does an excellent job with this book. Paul has a number of characters to keep straight and he does a fine job. Paul does such a great job the I almost feel that I'm Noble during the fights! The blow by blows are very intense.

Where does The Vengeful Malice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Heath Pfaff has this genre down! It's possibly the best fantasy series I've allowed myself to delve into so deeply.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Vengeful Malice?

Without giving any spoilers away...Finding out what the Hungering really was as well as the encounter with the very intriguing and mysterious Kaziem wolves. The action and adventure is heart pounding and never lets up! Just like Noble's heart.

Which character – as performed by Paul J. McSorley – was your favorite?

There are so many, and from book 1 to book 2 he is consistent with the repeating characters as well as original with introducing the new characters. But my favorite character is Noble without a doubt.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I listened to the over 12 hour book in 4 days. I couldn't stop thinking about what might happen next. I found myself thinking about it even when I was going through my day. That has only happened with one other series in my audio book listening which was with the Dark Tower-gunslinger series by Stephen King.

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for Snow Song! I'm sure it will pull the entire series together. But the ending of the series for me will be bitter sweet.
