Narrated by: Eric London, Jamal Roque, Philip Alces

Length: 13 hrs and 13 mins

Publisher's summary

All Dag Gates wants is a place to call home. (And to practice magic freely.)

All Stefan Bjorne wants is peace in his adoptive country. (And less paperwork.)

All Mikkel Vinters wants is both of them. (No, really, he could do wedding bells.)

So why, pray tell, is half the magical community set on denying them all their wishes?

Beautiful

Highly recommend. Beautiful story telling and world building. Tho the narration could get some getting used to. But polygamy representation is amazing

Such a fun story

I already read the book and knew I’d enjoy the audio book. That was true once I got used to the narrating. Stick with it, you’ll settling into the narrating styles. I look forward to glimpses of these men in future books.

This was awsome

From the storyline to the narrators. I enjoyed it. Very Captivating and I was invested in the development of each character

loved this story

so good all around. it made me laugh many a time with all the snark and banter and the story itself was well rounded and didn't feel drawn out. can't wait for the next book am already frothing at the mouth for it heh

laugh out loud funny in places

With just enough details to solidly create the setting this reads like a Shakespearean comedy of errors. I loved how the point of view shifted between the three main characters with different voices to correspond with the narrating character. I eagerly followed along as the relationships developed, though dearly wished I could knock some sense into the less observant folks. The various mysteries that were revealed and solved were also delightful.

Awesome

3 men of different backgrounds find each other and fall in love. They stick together when others try to harm them.
I really loved this audio. The narrators did an awesome job .

so good

this book is so good! I love the characters. I love the polyamorous play on it. I love this book! another hit by this author

3.75 Stars

Love A.J. Sherwood, will always read her books. And I liked the idea of this one. But between some of the writings being a little clunky and the narrator for Stefan, this one wasn't my favorite.

great voices

Norwegian accent seems off to me. but loved the rest. a proper reading is so important to me. hope to hear more of their voices

.

The narration in the beginning was a little stilted and dry. I almost stopped listening. Once the story really started rolling though, it was an enjoyable read. The only thing slightly jarring after that was the different interpretations of the voices by the 3 narrators. Some were wildly different making it difficult to follow the continuity. I do wish there was more world building. The modern world touches felt almost like an afterthought in a purely fantasy story.
