A Crown as Sharp as Pines

The Winter Souls, Book 3

De: Jennifer Kropf

Narrado por: Cassondra Ladd

I'm dreaming of a frightful Christmas....

The first thing that Patrolman Zane Cohen notices when he meets Helen Bell again in this new season is that she is not herself.

The libraries of the Volumes of Wisdom have been burned to ash. Believers of the Truth are disappearing across the snow globe. A Beast of the darkness is taking hostages and building his army in Winter. And Helen....

Helen sees it all unfolding in her dreams.

When the Volumes of Wisdom begin to whisper clues of something hidden in Winter that might turn the tides of the oncoming war, Helen finds herself trekking into the prickly pines and thundering songs of war drums in the Green Kingdom. She claims she's there as an emissary of the Three Kings of the East. But the true reason she's risked stepping into a kingdom of the verge of losing a deadly war...is to steal the Queen of the Pines' garland crown right from atop her head.

A Crown as Sharp as Pines is Book #3 of The Winter Souls Series, a Christmas-themed collection with holiday myths and folklore.

pretty fun story

the audio on this one sounded like it was recorded in a tin can. made it harder to turn up louder.

Disappointing Audio

This is the third book in the series, and it did not disappoint in terms of the story. However, the audio quality was a letdown. It lacked the polish of the previous books, making it harder to stay engaged. I frequently found myself rewinding to re-listen to entire chapters, which disrupted the experience. The earlier books had much better production quality, making this one a bit of a disappointment in that regard.

worse audio quality than the first two in the series

I'm really enjoying this series! Unfortunately, the audio quality on this recording is much inferior to the previous two. The narrator continues to be wonderful, but thr sound quality is echoey and weird to the point of distraction for me, and I can usually get over quite a bit of audio nonsense for a good story.

Love the story!

The story is magical as the first two but wow that audio is really distracting and made it very hard to enjoy.

Interesting Sea Twist

This story takes an interesting twist which captivates your attention leaving you wanting more, forgetting time and the reality of this world! Can’t wait for the next in this series!

very strange and abrupt ending.

loved the first half of this one, following the storyline of the first two books in the series, but suddenly I found it had turned into a prequel and then even more abruptly ended. It was quite confusing.

Love this story line!

I love the story line and the relationships being made. I am falling in love with the characters and all the personalities. I can picture every character and scene with all the details.

The audio is no good. I am very disappointed because it sounds like the person was recorded in a tunnel. A lot of echo happening.

audio

the narrator sounded like she was in a tunnel . sound engineer Shi or have double checked

Great overall but the story feels a little forced.

So much of the story was amazing with so many breathtaking twists but a lot of character changes feels abrupt or even out of character. It's not all bad but some things just didn't have real genuine reason to happen outside of just because. Overall it was great, but that's just my opinion.

Poor Recording

Sounds like it was recorded inside a tin can. Lots of tin ones and echo.

The story is okay. The transpositions are odd and jump around. Several times I had to go back and see if I missed something due to new chapters seem to if the start the middle of a scene.
