I never want to hear the following words again: cleave sheath my mate vulgar gesture and the miss pronunciation of the words shone(shawn not shoohn) and foyer(foy-yay not Foyher) If book two grated my nerves book three had me shouting at it every time I heard 'my mate', everytime Feyre spoke, thought or gazed in awe, every damn time she compared Rhysand to Tamlyn, at every vulgar gesture, at every snide petty shitty inappropriate comment the author thought was funny. The only thing that saved this book from getting one star was the final battle. Very disappoint in the voice ( new narathor it's just not good for this series)īring the old narathor, I'll even buy the book again this was suppose to be one of those book that I could listen over and over again now I'll just have to make it work with the first two :( very upset It was horrible nothing agains her, but it was very wrong for this series a bad choice the most I got upset because her interpretansion if Rhysand is just bad, no emotion as in previous book( btw: I have listen to 100 time:))ĭid A Court of Wings and Ruin inspire you to do anything? How did the narrator detract from the book? What was one of the most memorable moments of A Court of Wings and Ruin?įrom the audiobook? None!!! I couldn't concentrate on the book I kept getting frustrated with the voice at a point I just stoped listening I will finish the book by reading the hard copy which btw is perfect No, no, no!!!!!!!! This is my favored series I was supposed to re-listen to them over and over again now I'm debating to ask for a refund for this one!!!! Nothing agains THIS narathor, but these where not the voices of the personages we love the voice is weird and no suited for Rhysand or any of the male carachters very very wrong choice im just going to finish reading the paper book the previous voice was perfect :( Is there anything you would change about this book? 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. Chapter 44 - with all the high lords? And that scene with the cliff? Oh - and Lord Grayson scene with Elaine? Come on. 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. They couldn't have had the time to listen to it. 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. I felt like I got to know her, and now it was like a completely different person. I just miss the overall tone of Jennifer as Feyre. Lucien's brothers were fantastically evil. 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. I loved the first 2 books SO MUCH! Jennifer Ikeda ruled. So, that's probably a longer answer than you wanted, but the bottom line is (a) the rights have been purchased (b) they are working on Age of Death, and (c) it might take a bit longer to get them produced due to Coronavirus issues.After seeing these reviews, I was really scared to listen to this. Still, Robin downloaded a copy of the book as soon as it went live and the portions we recorded here sounded remarkably good.I attribute that to the wizards in Audible's post-production mastering department. As for the Author's Note, Robin's Afterword, and an Afterword I wrote, we had to record them from our cabin in a place that definitely was NOT a professional studio. The only reason we were able to get the non-dramatic version of Age of Empyre out on schedule was that Tim Gerard Reynolds has a professional studio at his house and he was able to record from there. Studios haven't generally been deemed as "essential businesses" so much of them have been shut down. I suspect the Coronavirus outbreak is hampering their production. They received the manuscript version of Age of Death in February and I'm waiting for their "revised version" to come to me for review. Yes, there will be both the non-dramatic versions (read by Tim Gerard Reynolds) and the full-cast dramatic versions with music and sound effects.
