Starts very slow. I almost stopped reading but the story picked up and I wanted to see how it ended.

I can stand a little magic, but I strongly dislike demons and monsters or anything so absolutely unbelievable.

I am liking the story but I hate the cliffhangers. This story should have all been told in one book! The 3 books are not even that long. I have listened to many books by this author and they are all well written but I would not have started this series if I had known it was in 3 separate parts.

That the book ended in a cliffhanger that was only part 1 of the story.

I disliked that it was 1 book for the price of three! The first audiobook was on sale and since I like this author I bought it without reading the description.

Unfortunately, I did not comprehend the part 1 in the name of this book when I bought the audible version. I am older and it is harder for me to read a printed book so audiobooks are mostly the only books I purchase. Unfortunately for me, I only skimmed the recap of this book and now I am left hanging. I think a clear statement should be made that this story is sold separately in three books.The story is not bad, but now, if I want to know how it ends I am going to have to read the kindle unlimited versions of part 2 & 3, I enjoy sports romance books but if I finish this series I will never read anything by Alley Ciz again. At least all 3 books are available - the last time this happened to me I had to wait a month to obtain the final book!

I love this book and it is great that is is finally available in audio. However, the narration leaves much to be desired. Why does the narrator try to impose some fake and unpleasant voice and accent for each character? Brandon and Jeff each have a feminine sounding, fake southern accent, Heather just sounds wrong with an occasional fake English accented word or phrase, and Thomas Hint sounds like a screeching old woman or witch. The narrator should just read the story and let the reader/listener “hear” the character’s voice. Dual narrators is preferable, but if it is only one, the story should just be read by a pleasant voice and let the listener hear the story as it is printed.

I love this book! I have read it many times since it was released in the seventies and I was so looking forward to to listening to it since I pre-ordered it in January of 2022. The story is still great; however, the reader really messed it up. I do not understand why narrators think they should attempt to

I have read this book many times since the 1970’s. This one, The Flame and the Flower, and Shanna are my favorites and the ones I have read most over the years, but the others are good also. Now that I’m older it is hard for me to read print copies so I’m thrilled that they have been released in audio! I have had this one pre-ordered since November of 2021, and 2 others since January of 2022. I am so happy that they are finally available and a new generation can enjoy the work of KEW!

Generally I like this author’s books, however, if this was the first book I’d read by her it would be the last. Both main characters are quite without honor and not easy to like. Had I not already read the first three sibling’s stories I would have thrown this one out before I finished the first chapter. Gervase portrays himself as a weasel at the start of the book and only gets worse as it progresses!

It was not mentioned in the description of the title that it was a duet so now I am left hanging! Both books are very small so I don’t understand why it was not all in just one book!
