The Proctor family's loyalty and magical prowess are put to the test in this thrilling tale of mystery, magic, and mayhem. Hold on tight as Isabella takes you on a wild and enchanting ride!

Ai voice lacked definition but decent story

It was hard to differentiate who was talking and what was happening at times because the AI voice couldn't infer things or do different voices or say things with emotion. It was really disappointing when there was no sense of fear or sadness to build suspense. Good story but bland robot.

Mystery

Other people had stories and still got involved in mystery, and helped to solve . Not just the main character.

Actually decent.

I didn't have high hope but it's actually pretty ok. A few inconsistencies in the story and the computer narrator isn't awesome with tone or inflection. That being said, I wasn't able to solve the mystery from the beginning and I would absolutely read book 2.

Plesantly Surprised

The virtual voice was much better than anticipated and I only had problems following along during conversations as there was no alteration between characters' voices. But overall it was relatively easy to listen to. If this hadn't been included in the Audible Plus catalog, I don't think I would have given it a try. Not sure I'd pay money for an AI narrated book, though.

The story itself had some issues with continuity and I found some parts implausible and definitely found the main character rather young and naive. There wasn't a lot of witchcraft being used or even much discussion of how it's implemented. I almost didn't go on to read the next book, but I'm glad I did. The characters and the stories improve the further into the series you go.

Between Kindle Unlimited and the Plus catalog, both the book and audio were available at no additional charge and this series kept me occupied through the weekend while recovering from a cold.

get a real narrator.

I could do a better job at narrating. please stop being cheap and get narrator. I would do it for free. lol
