Love over self doubt and challenges

I liked how through trials and sacrifices Love heals, unites and strengthens. I enjoyed this book.

Good story but the narrator isn’t up to par

I think the story is probably great; but, I had moments with this story where I felt I was losing interest. I’ve never experienced that with a Mercedes Lackey book. I hate that it was my experience with this one, especially as it’s the first of a series. The performance style was dated, the narrator’s voice wasn’t great, his character voices were occasionally unappealing, and his renderings of the various emotions didn’t read true. I hate to leave a series unfinished but his delivery pulled me out of the story too often. IF I finish these, it will be in hard copy or kindle.

Really great story!!!

Just choose something random a few days ago to listen to and I couldn’t put this story down! Great voice, great story, great characters! I highly recommend

excellent.

I love it. I just wish the rest of the series was on Audible so I could continue listening.

I first read this about 30 years ago

this is probably the first urban fantasy book I actually read. I had read the Valdamor series from Mercedes Lackey and enjoyed it. I picked this up on a lark originally and enjoyed it.

unfortunately the narrator destroyed this for me. with a book that is so tied to music having a narrator who has a wispy voice made it very difficult for me to buy into the book. it really needed somebody who had a strong resonance and able to sing
