Story
Having escaped an unhappy marriage, Morgan finds herself in Camelot–the city of dreams and peace. Her brother, King Arthur, treats her as a valued advisor and Morgan finally has recognition befitting her intelligence within Arthur’s trusted circle, despite a longstanding conflict with Queen Guinevere. But Morgan’s life is not without complications. Between a vengeful husband determined to snatch their son away, the strict ideals of court life, and a jealous rival for Arthur’s attentions in the sorcerer Merlin, gaining true recognition and freedom is a greater challenge than Morgan envisioned.

If you enjoy the tales of King Arthur and Merlin the sorcerer and Camelot, then you will love this story from the unique perspective of Morgan, Arthur's devoted and much maligned half-sister, who eventually becomes Morgan Le Fay.
Both of the first two books in this trilogy are excellently written, intriguingly entertaining, and very well performed. I listened to them back to back in less than 48 hours. Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was this drawn in with an audiobook, and I'm was an avid listener.
The third book cant come out fast enough!

Story
Welcome to Chromatacia, where life is strictly regulated by one’s limited color perception. Civilization has been rebuilt after an unspoken “Something that Happened” five hundred years before. Society is now color vision—segregated, everything dictated by an individual’s visual ability, and governed by the shadowy National Color in far-off Emerald City. Twenty-year-old Eddie Russett, a Red, is about to go on trial for a murder he didn’t commit, and he’s pretty certain to be sent on a one-way trip to the Green Room for execution by soporific color exposure.

If you're a fan of Jasper Fforde or Jodi Taylor, you will likely enjoy this colorful sequel's quirky story of mystery, manners, murders, merits, and muddy tea. In his famously dry and humorous way, Fforde sends his characters down a self-repairing path of discovery full of adventure, love, and hope in the face of ridiculous political aspirations, questionable transportation, and a nefarious amounts of spoons.

Story
In 2059, two vastly different groups of people portrayed by the compelling trio of Brendan Fraser (Academy Award winner), Luke Kirby (Emmy Award winner), and Vanessa Sears (Dora Award winner) undergo cryonic suspension. While their bodies are frozen, their minds, still active and awake, are uploaded into a massive quantum computer. The first group are all astronauts, about to leave Earth on a one-way interstellar colonization mission. The second group consists of convicted murderers and volunteers who elect to serve their sentences in a virtual-reality prison.

More agenda than story
Reviewed: 11-22-23
The performances were fine, nothing incredible. Story takes a 3rd row backseat to identity politics, climate change propaganda, and gnostic agenda. Like them or not, these are frequent tropes of Sci-fi entertainment. However, in this audio production, the lack of a well-crafted plot or detailed character development leaves the listener with nothing to grab onto but a North American far-left diatribe.

Story
Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination and sometimes unexplained nudity, that accompanied childhood and adolescence? I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path.

I'm so happy that Miranda has books (plural) for us to enjoy because I finished watching her show and was really missing her jollity. It's lovely to hear her voice and you can easily imagine her face as she reads about her adult life now in comparison to her teenage life at school. Hilarious stories, bits of wisdom, heartfelt encouragement, and many lists gallop right off the page! Any Miranda fan will love this audiobook. If you've not met her yet, this book is a great way to start off. So grab a snack, a drink, and a comfy spot to enjoy while listening to Miranda Hart's "Is It Just Me?" You won't be sorry!

Story
Punching well above their weight, Max and Markham set out to bring down a sinister organisation founded in the future—with a suspicious focus on the past. Max's focus is staying alive long enough to reunite with Leon and Matthew, alternately helped and hindered by St Mary's—who aren't always the blessing they like to think they are. But non-stop leaping around the timeline—from witnessing Magna Carta to disturbing a certain young man with a penchant for gunpowder—is beginning to take its toll. Is Max going mad? Or are the ghosts of the past finally catching up with her?

Jodi Taylor does it again, along with the impeccable Zara Ramm! This one has even more twists and turns than previous volumes as there are a lot of people and plots woven into a story which brings us a brand new adversary for Maxwell and her much varied associates. Still, Jodi Taylor lays it all out for us all delightfully tongue in cheek with exciting battles, improbable rescues, ridiculously brilliant plans, and plenty of Max, Markham, and margaritas. Pour yourself a big icy glass and tuck in for the adventure!

Epic Storytelling

A heroine who is also a villain. A savior who is also a killer. A rich legacy that tears at its own heirs. Even the minor characters are fully fleshed out in all their glory and gore. A passionate and perverse tale of ambition, romance, deceit, magic, and power as brilliant as Macbeth. Read it with relish, then wonder at your own limitations later.
