ImPerfect Magic

The imPerfect Cathar, Book 1

De: C. N. Rowan

Narrado por: C.N. Rowan

After hundreds of years of dying, you'd think I would've perfected it by now....

One moment I'm a heretical priest in the twelfth century, hunted, hated...the next, I'm waking up in the nearest corpse. Stuck in a cycle of instant reincarnation, popping back up like a tarnished penny.

Fast forward 800 years, and you might think I’ve learned a thing or two. Nope. All I've learned is how to die far too easily, far too often.

Now my territory in the South of France is under threat and I find myself trapped by impossible angel-made runes. If the angels have gone full red lightsaber evil, it might not only be my territory in danger, but the whole of reality itself....

I need to stop whoever is behind this, and now. After all, you can’t come back to life, if there’s nothing left to come back to.

imPerfect Magic is the first book in The imPerfect Cathar series, a darkly funny supernatural suspense following a trio of immortal heretics. If you can't wisecrack while death is on the line? Well...perhaps you're not dying right.

This book contains strong language, dark humor, and graphic violence.

quirky story

the story was well crafted. loved the overall accurate inclusion of historical events with his story woven through

Interesting story but perhaps hire a narrator.

I liked the story enough to listen to another but I think it would have been better with a pro narrating

Perfect

Loved. This book from beginning to end. It was funny and serious all at once. Made me want to learn about the Cathars

the characters and plot are imaginative and first rate

the narration was done very well, but there are times where the reading was too excited and forceful. not a lot, and through most of it, the narrator did a fine job

very enjoyable

I really enjoyed this and had lots of laughs listening to it. looking forward to more.

Enjoyable

Love the emotion of the intense situations!
A little lost as a none European at the locations but appreciate the accuracy.

the pacing and humor

If you're a fan of modern fantasy with a dash of dark humor than you might enjoy this.

First person gorefest other than that it’s excellent.

Ok, I actually like the plot and the story and the characters and the setting. I like the way the history of the characters gets mixed into the storytelling. In fact I think I may read some of the other books but I won’t listen to them. The author /narrator is good, but the revelry in the gore is way too over the top for me. The gore doesn’t add to the story and the narration of the gore and other general suffering is a little too enthusiastic for my taste.

Great Caharacters and Story

I truly enjoyed the experience and appreciated how CN Rowan explained how he related the locations and events to history. I very much look forward to the journey ahead.

Hire a narrator!

The story is good and the characters are interesting, but for the love of Mike, hire a narrator! Most authors really shouldn't read their own book (except for Neil Gaiman, who is great). Rowan is not a good narrator and he really takes away from the story. I can imagine this if Ray Porter or Jefferson Mays did this book - would be MUCH better!
