Disappointed in How the MC Dealt with a Female Character

I am mostly likely not finishing these books. I was a little over eight hours into the book, and I was so disappointed with the reaction of the MC towards the circumstances of a female character. He showed no lack of empathy and was incredibly judgmental especially considering how he grew up on the streets in abject poverty. His reaction should an enormous amount of immaturity for his ilk.

The narrator did an excellent job, and I’m so disappointed that I won’t be finishing the book, but I will check out some otherbooks they’ve narrated.

I wasn’t sure I would enjoy the story since I was concerned there’d be a love triangle, but that was not an issue. I appreciated that the female MC stood up for herself. Also the narration was excellent. It definitely added to the story.

The romantic & comedic tale of a crocheter and woodworker

I love the positive and realistic portrayal of a single dad. Also it’s wonderful to see the male MC accept help and friendship. Now as a lover of all things yarn—especially crochet—I really enjoyed the female MC’s hobby and the mention of Etsy and Pinterest.

A great holiday romantic comedy with just the right amount of steam.

The narrators were excellent.

I enjoyed the story premise well enough to finish it. The narrators did an excellent job. I just did not find that the protagonist had much depth. Sadly, she reminded me of a lot of 1980s tv police detective, e.g., Hunter, especially her interactions with her captain. Also, the name choice for her last name seem even more suited for 80s television.

I’ve listened and enjoy the other books in this series, but though I tried, I could not get into this book. Also, I did not care for the male narrator at all.

The actions of nearly everyone in this book perfectly demonstrates the selfishness of far too many people. I’m not even surprised at the main character’s actions. If she were a real person, I’d advise her believe when people show you who they are.

After listening to Attica Locke's previous novel Pleasantville, I eagerly used a credit to purchase Bluebird, Bluebird. Bluebird, Bluebird does not disappoint! The historical context was definitely a plus, and I love that the protagonist is not only a Texas Ranger, but comes from a landed, well-established Black family. The characters' flaws give the book so much more flavor. I'm looking forward to listening to & reading the sequel.

I love listening to this audiobook! The reader did a great job with portraying the different characters. Also the toning down of the language doesn't diminish the story--still action-packed with a good amount of thrill.

I've listened to every one of the Dresden Files with the exception of Shadowed Souls. I loved Storm Front. It was interesting enough to get me into the series, but Grave Peril is the heart of the series. You get to see Harry's vulnerability and soul of full display.

I have listened to and enjoyed the previous audio version of this book (George Wilson), but was disappointed that only Running with the Demon was available on audible--until now.

At first listen, the multiple pauses of the new reader was extremely distracting. I actually changed the playback speed to 1.25x to counteract it. He does an adequate job once I got past the first 12-15 minutes with the exception of how he pronounced O'olish Amaneh's name--that was cringeworthy.

The three books in this series are some of my favorites. I've read them several times since being in my twenties. Nest Freemark, her grandparents, and John Ross are very relatable, and their storylines are enjoyable.

Despite my initial misgivings, I would recommend this book, and it's prequel, Running with the Demon. I hope audible will make the sequel, Angel Fire East, available too.
