That narrator though

Have 2 hours to go. Narrator sounds like an annoyingly cheerful/whiny Disney princess reading a book, to a group of children, about wanting to get it on with the man that killed her family. The prince sounds like a snotty douche nugget. I might not be able to finish the book. I’ll give it a bit longer just to see if the story is good enough to push through what amounts to nails down a chalkboard, for me. So far some parts have potential but other parts make me want to slam my head into a wall.

I love everything about this series except the main female character. She’s sooooo negative about everything. Total doom and gloom, all the time. She finds the bad in every single situation rather than anything positive. The denial and avoidance of truth is enough already. I find myself constantly cringing or rolling my eyes at her. Like ugh wake up and get over yourself.

It’s horribly written and obviously one of Leia’s earlier books because I’ve read much better by her. Story is whatever, not the worst but not super original, a little flat. Characters are TERRIBLE and very the bad end of cliche. Brock is super misogynistic, Evie is the “super strong woman” while also thinking Brock’s misogyny is “cute”. The romance is cheesy AF. Cass is like a skeevy uncle. Molly is most likable while also being a lame fangirl. The rest are shallow whatevers.

That being said, I had nothing better to listen to while waiting for my regular series to come out with new books and I did listen to the whole series. I read A LOT and when I’m not reading I’m listening. This is series is meh and had my eyes rolling a whole bunch but it’s not the worst. Narrator did a decent job considering what she had to work with.

Love the story, can’t stand the weird narration

Narrator is almost monotone and hangs on to words with a weird breathy effect. Reads really choppy. Man voices are really unattractive for men that are supposed to be attractive. It’s just weird. I think I’ve listened to other books she narrated and super disliked then too. Still not the worst I’ve heard, hence 2 star rather than 1. Happy with the continuing story.

She barely changes voices between characters, she has a lisp that drove me nuts. Sounds like a teacher reading to kids. She’s just not a good narrator at all. Story was great and only reason I kept listening. Narrator of first book in the series was MUCH better.

She sounds too old, too American, too unsexy. You can’t find the male character attractive when he sounds like an old man with a handlebar mustache, a pipe, a bow tie and like an American trying to do a stereotyped, stuffy, posh British accent. Ivy sounds like a cartoon character forced to be quirky. Or like Daphne mixed with Thelma from Scooby Doo. Story was fun, though so I kept listening and will listen to the rest of the series too.
