Great stuff probably the funniest entry so far.
I continue to enjoy this series. It’s clear that Jonathan Stroud is really flying here.
Lots of great spooky set-pieces and the cast of characters that continue to delight.
Emily Beven has really settled in to her role here to. She is great. Great comic timing but can also deliver the emotional, dramatic and exciting stuff to.
Loved it.

Really well read I hope she keeps going, brilliant story. Accents are really good and it is easy to forget your listening to one person.

Excellent fun!
Great story-telling from Stroud and very good narration. For last 2 books I was convinced the Skooll (as she pronounces it?!) was a female due to the voice she gave it, but I've recovered now...

A jolly ghost story as always

I really enjoyed the book
However I think it was a little unfair to have one reader who had built up the world In the first books to then replace them with someone who made a lot of similar voices for all the characters which was confusing and kind of grating instead of different and distinct voices in the other books. I still enjoyed it I just think my rating reflects this issue

Probably the best novel in the world
These novels are amazing and Stroud writes better than Sanderson. While Sanderson is excellent at creating original worlds and plots, Stroud has an unbelievable talent to make the characters pop out of the page and the narration come alive with detail.
The performance in volumes 3-5 annoyed me in the beginning but then it grew on me like a fungus, until I ended listening to these books over and over again. Now I like George, Lockwood, and Quill Kipps and can't hear Lucy's accent. I also love the energy in the narrator's voice.

Great
Getting better and better, the end of this book confirms what I have always thought, so looking forward to reading the next instalment to see if my other theories are correct! Narration is very good in my opinion!

Top notch!
I love Jonathan Stroud's elegant ghost stories, and his specialty: a present where something has happened in the past to alter history.
The books about Lockwood and just keep getting better and better, and the narrator in the last two books is very good.
This is pure joy (in the shape of a well-told and well-narrated adventurous ghost story) from beginning to end!
