Magic

The Curse of Lanval, Book 3

By: Rebekah Dodson

Narrated by: Matthew DeWolf

You probably won’t like my story. Heck, I’m not sure if I even like it myself. It’s AD 1154, and my sister Jules and I are trapped in medieval France. My name is Guillaume Lanval, but most people me Gill (and also Henry - long story!) and this is my pretty epic tale about how I braved the cliffs of Dover to become king, how I finally got the girl, and experienced some magical shit along the way. Did I mention the girl is kinda a sorceress? Despite what you hear, I'm starting to think this whole thing is my fault.

The third in the series

The third installment to a great series. The story keeps building on with the characters expanding.

I enjoyed the story, but not the narration

This is the third volume in the Curse of Lanval story. Although I enjoy the drama, action and humor of the story, as well as the quirkiness and internal commentary of the MMC, Gil, I have to say that I find the narration a bit weak. Oftentimes, it was very mechanical, almost robotic, sounding. It lacked emotion and passion to me. Perhaps that is by design? I prefer a narration that adds life to the characters and story.

I received a free copy of the audiobook through StoryOrigin and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
