Tragedy upon tragedy

This story dragged on and on. At one point, I looked at how much time was left because I was so weary of it. It started out with a good plot, but there was so much filler in between it got old. And then the author piled on tragedy after tragedy. Too much questioning going on in the minds of the characters. It just gets old. It was a predictable template changing some of the circumstances.

Stena Nielsen is usually one of the better narrators, but this manuscript called for some intense emotions and she’s very flat during these times. I wish she would’ve put more effort into it.

I would like to finish the series, but I’m afraid the other two books would be too similar.

For the most part a good story line

I loved the story line, but it left a lot of unanswered questions. It needs a follow-up

Excellent story but not finished

I’m guessing the conclusion is in the next book. I enjoy books that go together but not necessarily ones that don’t end until another book. However what was written was excellent.

Twists and Turns

it was a little slow getting started but when the plot twist happened I was all in and couldn't stop.

very good

was very good. really enjoyed listening to this story. can't wait to get the next book
