Publisher's summary

The Salamander Kampfgruppe has finally come off the front lines and is headed back west for much-needed R & R. The troops are more than ready to enjoy some peace and quiet after many long days flying missions on the eastern front. What they aren’t ready for is how unfamiliar it feels not to be surrounded by whizzing bullets and exploding artillery shells. For Tanya, though, this long-awaited return to the rear brings more disturbing realizations than respite. This vacation may be far more eventful than it has any right to be...

Narrator getting better but still can’t do men’s voices

Even though this is one of the slower books it’s still entertaining. As for the narrator in the beginning it doesn’t seem that bad but as it goes on the monotonous tone for every man even when the text says otherwise starts getting on my nerves.

Her male voices are not too bad.

Thinking other reviews are being a bit too rough. She's clearly in this position as someone that can do a good Tanya. Hard to have both that and enough range for a whole cast of males. For being in that position she has a perfectly serviceable "male A" and "male B" to hold conversations. There are a few rough voices when trying to add third and fourth characters in to be fair.
But yeah, her Weiss probably need to take some medical leave because he sounds like he's gonna die any second. That is just an odd choice.

Great story looking forward to the next.

I like the story and the political intrigue is getting deeper excited to see what happens next.

Political maneuvering

A lot less combat, but definitely time for desperation mode in the empire. Tanya doing everything to deal with incompetence. Voice actor got better, but guy voices are still pretty rough.

A great continuation of a great story

The new VA is doing better in this book, but still isn't as good as the last one. I've gotten use to her voice now, but I wish she would add more emotion into the performances. She would often read out a line monotone, and later give an explanation of how the character stated that line with a certain emotion. It's passable.

Lot of political thought

Would have liked a bit more action and response from the other side to the sea battle.

Narrator of Limited Voices

Two steps forward, one step back in narration/direction. At least narrator knows Tanya adjutant is a female. But has so few voices that she uses the same voice for several characters and uses random out of place accents (British cabinet members would not have Cockney or Russian accent). Major Unger is German and also given Russian accent. Also why is Tanisha suddenly given old jaded voice as a young new officer

Intrigue?! Performance?!!

Erin (forgot how to spell the last name) has improved her narration. I listen at 1.15x speed, but that's just so her voice matches the pace of the characters as presented thus far, at least in memory. Anywho, she's doing a much better job. bit odd sometimes with using a Russian accent for some characters who aren't, but I supposed it's just to differentiate different (1 scene only) characters who don't show up again from the rest.

anywho, the story is picking up and seems to be leading toward an end everyone knew had to be coming. I don't know if you're a history buff, but Germany didn't win WWI, which is the equivalent to the war in this story, so Tanya's fate is really starting to get shakey. I can't wait to see where it goes, though unfortunately the author seemed to take a multi-year hiatus and puts out about 1.25 books per year when working, so it may be a while before we see how Tanya's story concludes. Still, I'm pumped
