Not bad to be honest

This is a pretty good book and I would really like to hear the next one . The MC is really quiet and likeable My only real disappointment is the narrator...she has a lovely voice don't get me wrong but the reading was so slow I had to turn the speed to 1.35 just so I wouldn't fall to sleep. It might have been a style choice but it didn't work for me.

It grew on me

I started off as a reluctant listener but was drawn in fairly quickly. I’d like to read the next one now!

A light and entertaining read with spark

A really good book to listen to. It has a really interesting take on magic that made me smile for its Shakespearian comedy-like flavour. It is well-written and its characters have depth to them. I would recommend it if someone needs a bit of sun on a cloudy day.

Loved It

Fantastic book with wonderful moral sentiment to not fear what you don't know or understand. And how the small things in life need to be cherished.

Written & Narrated Beautifully

It took time to get into the book, delving into it unusual world and it’s unfamiliar characters, but so glad I pursued, for like the magician’s daughter I was slowly but exquisitely drawn into the story and it’s wonderful creation of magic.

Good story worth listening to.

This was my first story from this author, and I really enjoyed it. I’m now going to seek out further books by her because it was so good.

I do understand what others have said about the narration. For me though this didn’t detract from the story although there were a few times that I became a bit irritated with it. This was mostly due to young characters sounding old, bored and snooty which the story didn’t indicate, and these same characters’ voices spilling over into descriptive text at times. But as I said, it’s a great story and there were also lots of times where the narration emphasised it, so all in all a really great listen.

Had potential, but narrator ruined it for me

I've never dropped a book because of the narrator before, but here we are.

I have a hard time following what's said with the narrator's voice being so slow, dreamy, and with too many... long pauses... in weird places. The story and prose themselves seem up my alley, but after a few chapters I decided it wasn't worth it if the narrator distracts me so much from enjoying it.

The character voices are also often overacted and weird, and sound more like voices you'd make when reading for young kids.
