I would have loved it more if Ferrin would stop getting caught, escaping and getting caught again several times, it got to tedious.

Everything about the books are great except when it takes to long to get to a conclusion in the fight scenes, you want to hear the villains get killed and it takes forever to get there.

So slow and so repetitive
Reviewed: 11-19-14
This book talks and talks and talks and all about the same thing over and over again. It is so slow, it never get's anywhere, they are trying to catch a wizard kid that did bad and yet no action going on to do it. Everyone one gets hurt and takes forever to meand omg what a waste of my time.

Homicide detective Bryan Clauser is losing his mind. How else to explain the dreams he keeps having - dreams that mirror, with impossible accuracy, the gruesome serial murders taking place all over San Francisco? How else to explain the feelings these dreams provoke in him - not disgust, not horror, but excitement? As Bryan and his longtime partner, Lawrence 'Pookie' Chang, investigate the murders, they learn that things are even stranger than they at first seem.

OMG, this was such a good book. I was screaming at Brian to hurry up and do all this saving he needed to do. I couldn't stop listening, Phil Giganti you are the bomb, I love listening to your narrations. I knew that kid was going to get stabbed in the back by snake. Hope there is a book 2.

Good read
Reviewed: 09-27-14
The story is great, but killing off all of the good guys and their family wasn't cool. I know the bad guy will get his just like the inn keepers husband, and Vadeer, but to kill Griffin, I would have like to see him get his brother later in the next book. To get rid of the good characters in the first book makes the second book that's coming not as worth waiting for. So I hope the second book is just as good but maybe isn't so drawn out as this one was.

Reviewed: 03-11-14
I have listened to these books for hours, and they have kept my interest every second, the characters were great and the bad guys get killed. But the ending was the worst, I kept waiting for Thasha to show up and instead Pazel ends up in the sea with the fish chick!! What the hell!! His friends don't remember him, only the rat!! Wow I can't believe how disappointed I am. The narration was great, Michael Page is terrific, I buy almost everything he narrates.

Not much different from Acheron
Reviewed: 11-01-13
Not much different from Acheron the hours of beatings, sexual abuse and constant whining of no body loves me just had to be overlooked because the narration alone was worth it. I have been a fan of Kenyon for many years and am a loyal reader of the dark hunters. She can really write a book full of hate and betrayal.

Steven Pacey I could listen to you read for the rest of my life. The story was great, the narrating was even more so, Mr. Pacey made these books such a success. I have just started listening to epic scyfy books and everyone I have chosen has been great. So much more depth to these types of books and this one is top of my list. I hope to read and or listen to more from Joe.

Aided by the powerful magic of Vagel, the evil Arch-Imager, the merciless armies are marching against the kingdom of Mordant. In its hour of greatest need, two unlikely champions emerge. One is Geraden, whose inability to master the simplest skills of Imagery has made him a laughingstock. The other is Terisa Morgan, transferred to Mordant from a Manhattan apartment by Geraden’s faulty magic. Together, Geraden and Terisa discover undreamed-of talents within themselves—talents that make them more than a match for any Imager... including Vagel himself. Unfortunately, those talents also mark them for death.

Very good book
Reviewed: 06-17-13
I had bought the Mirror in Her Dreams so many years ago I can't remember, and it sat in my book case and I never read it. Once the books came out in audible I listen to them and kicked myself for not reading it way back when. I am a big fan of Stephen R. Donaldson and am very glad that I listened to this story. Very imaginative, like my review in the first book I would have like to see the two main characters have more fight in them. But in the end they kicked butt.
I really wish they would hurry up and put Thomas Covenant first two adventures in Audible, I don't want to listen to the last three books until I can listen to them.
