Even if I read this in a printed form, I would continue to hear the voice of the narrator. He is perfect for this series.
Great story and Skippy continues to be his awesome AH self.

Great story, well-plotted, crisp characters. I disliked the performer’s attempt at the princess’s voice, but extra-liked Gav’s voice so it evened out.

Magical Gay Murder Cruise (but Funny and Charming)

Engaging characters, lovely world-building, tightly plotted murder cruise with magical abilities, coming of age drama, and magical house dragons that poof glitter and a sense of humor and wonder made for a great read.

I wanted the mc to utilize his house dragon better but this story is otherwise very tight.

Really very impressive (especially for a first book) and I am eager for more from this author. Great performance, too.

Loved this tour de force send up of romantic tropes and the academic frenzy surrounding a search for a magical bird in Victorian England and France. Featuring well-drawn characters and a neurospicy brainy heroine, a gallant and charming hero, and horrible bird snatching bad guys and a passel of moral-free journalists.

An excellent performance as well.

Well done!

Thoughtful addition to the series - great narration

Excellent narration helps to keep the characters distinct. This book feels lighter than the heavy themes of the first 3, with an interesting sub-plot about a princex of the space pirates show that sounds highly entertaining.
Though this book is a standalone story, it takes place the the Radch universe, and is a good entry to the series if you can handle some gore. It explores the Presger translators, so delightfully NOT human, asking interesting questions about gender, being human, mercy, marriage and so on.
The Heinlein stan inside me loved the dimensional noodliness.

Unusual characters chase across the difficult landscape of Wales, searching for a home for their unexpected dragon. An older spinster misused by her sister as free childcare in 1800s England runs off with the parson and his make-do housekeeper to Wales. Well written take of her awakening to her purpose and power. But written like a Georgette Heyer romance. Enjoyable.

Great performance brings the characters alive. Looking forward to #3.

Well-written with strong, consistent characters. Solid new entry advances the series. Great performance by the same actor from the last book. Looking forward to the next book.

Great storytelling and deep characters make for a satisfying entry in the series. Elizabeth and Lydia’s struggles with their dragon-deaf mother and sister were well-written. There’s an interesting smuggling plot. And Pemberley continues to grow and amaze. Recommended!

Great book, though it should have a trigger warning for emotional abuse. Performance is very good, though I’ve spent a fair amount if time in every book wondering why there is a male performer for a book told 90% from a female perspective.
