I was extremely disappointed by the narration and production of this book in particular. The change in voice and pronunciation of character names from the previous stories took my focus from the story. Also the storyline with Fawna and Michel was too overly dramatic. Neither of them were particularly likable so it was hard to care about what happened to them in the end. Jessica’s character also digressed and became slightly overbearing. This final volume did not live up to the previous editions. This was my second time reading this series. The first time was about 7 years ago and I actually read the books. I remember loving My Soul To Keep and The Living Blood but couldn’t remember the last two. I thought listening might be easier this time. It was, but again, the change in narrator disturbed me. Regardless of that the story just wasn’t powerful enough. Read at your own risk!

Please, please, get the narrator right & correct. Where is Patricia Floyd when we need her. This narrator CANNOT pronounce correctly the most simplest of words. Learn the way to at least say the places in California, they are Spanish . Frustrating. Please use Patricia Floyd.

Very disappointing for the last book in the Black Immortals series!! The narration was horrible!! Now I've heard this narrator in other books, and enjoyed her, but this was not the book for her!! The voices of the Male characters all sounded like they were having issues breathing!! Fawna sounded far too much like a space cadet baby!! The story line definitely deviated to these 2 main character's trying to take a God like stance!! Not appreciated at all! Let's do a fifth to give the long term series readers a better ending!! Give Fawna a sister to set things right, and for pity sakes bring Caldoun out of hiding!!

I love Tananarive Due’s African Immortal series and the previous two narrators did her words justice, drawing the reader deeper into the series with each passing chapter. Sadly, they changed the narrator for the final installment, and this was a mistake. Aside from the painfully cringe narrative choices made in terms of giving voice to many characters, the narrator mispronounces names (one in particular) in a way that makes no sense, and that made me wonder if anyone supervised the recording of this book. This is unfortunate as it took me out of the story and lessened the impact of Ms. Due’s work. I think I will have to step away from the series, perhaps listening to the first three installments once more, and then purchase a physical copy of the book to cleanse this experience and save the series.

Final Installment Ruined by Narration

I love Tananarive Due, My Soul to Keep was my first introduction to her work and I haven't regretted it. However, this book I feel like there were way too many characters to keep up with and the throwing in of characters from another book that I haven't read yet felt unnecessary. The time frames was confusing. What happened in the 10 years between the proposal and wedding? Why'd they do Johnny like that? Caitlin, the kid with Sickle cell?? I know every book will not wrap things up in a neat little bow, but this was kind of infuriating. If there is a book 5 just please focus it on Fana and Michel.

All over the place

I thoroughly enjoyed all the novels. I just wish there were more. I hate for it to end with the fourth book. I’m definitely a fan!

Ms. Due, 🙏🏾 please add novel to this series

I loved reading the first 2 books so much I decided to listen to them on audio books. I think the first 2 books were excellent and I enjoyed listening to them as much as reading them. The story was interesting and you could really get into the characters. The third book was ok not as good as the first 2 but not bad. this 4th book was a struggle to finish listening to. it seemed to be all over the place and difficult to follow. The same narrator should be used for all the books, its difficult getting use to a different voices with each book. The last narrator was really bad. I didn't enjoy her poor attempt to change her voice for the different characters and she often seemed to mispronounce some names especially Miguel. in book 3 he was called Michel not Miguel. In book 4 sometimes he was Miguel and sometimes Mikkel and sometimes other things. Her voice was not right for this book or these characters at all.

Disappointed
