A shift in narrator and storyline

I am happy to have finished the series. As a whole I did enjoy it, but this book was a bit of a slog. The growth of Vita wasn’t unexpected, but the story line radically shifted I and personally don’t think it was for the best. I absolutely loved the first narrator, and while this one didn’t give a bad performance, the difference was striking. We went from an assumed North American accented character voice actor who had developed unique sounds for each person, to an English woman with sharp alliteration. These two things made for a bit too much of a change and outside of the character names you’d think you were listening to a different series. The story line did get wrapped up though, and overall I’m happy I listened.

Almost perfect

While the series is my personal favorite, and volume 4 is no exception in being incredible dreadful, wholesome and engaging, it is off set by the new narrator. While the new narrator is not bad, I do prefer the previous one and it was distracting to get used to the new one. I personally would buy another rerecording of this audiobook if they have the previous narrator. But still a good listen.

Perfect

The series had a perfect ending. My heart aches to know this is the end of the series with Vita.

Good narration

I was worried when the narrator changed, but if ever there was a plot relevant time to do it, it was now.

Very unconventional

I love how the MC grows both in power and as a person. There are some morally gut-wrenching elements and situations, but they weave a deep, mesmerizing tapestry of characters and the universe.

Really Jessica Almasy had continued as narrator, though. Changing narrators is always a jolt for me but the quality of narration took a noticeable dip on this one.

'And everything is finally alright'?

This is the most thought provoking series I have ever listened to. So dark and twisted and complicated, characters you care for and hate and desperately want to be okay.
I finished this a few days ago and I keep finding myself thinking about the beautifully broken situations and the people who caused it and suffered from it and tried to make it better even as they make it worse.

It's a masterpiece and I applaud you.

Unique Story

i don't know how or exactly why, but I grew to care about Vita more than I thought I would. Stories don't usually cause an emotional reaction from me, but this series brought me to tears a few times. Beautiful story, sad it ended, happy it exists.

This author is my favorite! I have liked everything she has published so far. Great book! But I had a bit of trouble trying to know who is talking until I was told.
