Story
I have stolen princesses back from sleeping barrow kings. I burned down the town of Trebon. I have spent the night with Felurian and left with both my sanity and my life. I was expelled from the university at a younger age than most people are allowed in. I tread paths by moonlight that others fear to speak of during day. I have talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. My name is Kvothe. You may have heard of me.

So long as it lay at Riva, the prophecy went, men would be safe. That was only a story, and Garion did not believe in magic dooms, even though the man without a shadow had haunted him for years.

Very enjoyable
Having enjoyed Debora Geary's Modern Witch series, I decided to give the Witch Light Trilogy a try. I thoroughly enjoyed the story. It might just be the best Geary book I've read so far. The characters are well written and the plot moves along at a nice pace. There is plenty of light-hearted fun but also substance. My only complaint is that I prefer the narrations from Martha Harmon Pardee (who reads the Modern Witch series). There's nothing wrong with Madeleine Lambert's reading, and she did an excellent job with some of the characters, but perhaps because I started with Pardee, some of the characters just didn't sound right the way Lambert read them.

Good book, poor narrator
Any additional comments?
This is a delightful book, but I found the narrator so annoying that I will not get the other audiobooks in this mini series. I'll read them, just not listen to them. The narrator for the other books (Modern Witch series, Witch Central series) is so delightful and captures children, male, and female voices delightfully. Here it felt really fake when the narrator was trying to do a man's voice, and she made Nat's voice overly yoga-dramatic. It definitely detracted from the story for me.
Only my love of these charming and full-of-love witch books kept me through til the end. Otherwise I would have stopped after an hour.
Purchase the print version and skip the audio.

Why change narrator midstream?
What made the experience of listening to Witches on Parole the most enjoyable?
That's just it, the narrator did not enhance the story in the slightest. The narrator of the main stories, Martha Harmon Pardee, does a fantastic job with voices, intonation, and pacing. She is a big part of the pleasure of listening to the charming Modern Witch stories.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Aervyn. This is the sole character I thought the narrator 'nailed'. She did capture the extreme youth of the four-year-old witchling and brought him to life nicely. I wish he had more of a presence in this storyline.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Madeleine Lambert?
Martha Harmon Pardee!
Any additional comments?
I'll buy the two remaining stories of this trilogy to complete the series, especially at the author has discontinued writing about these characters, but listening to them will probably only happen when I'm between new audiobooks.

Why change narrator? ; ;
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
It was a well use of time since I liked the story when I read it before.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Witches on Parole?
One of the most memorable things that I remember was when Lizard starts to seek out what she deserves.
Would you be willing to try another one of Madeleine Lambert’s performances?
Not at this time she is a different narrator then all of Debora Geary's other books. I have heard all of Geary's other books and was happy with Martha Harmon Pardee's performance and all of the voices of the characters sound really strange with the new narrator.

Great if you like the other Witch books!
Where does Witches on Parole rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
A very solid start to the spin-off series. I'm fond of the 'A Modern Witch' series and this doesn't disappoint. I was curious about Lizard, since she just appeared as an established character in the main series without introduction.
Have you listened to any of Madeleine Lambert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I haven't. However, she does a solid job of speaking clearly, though I admit to preferring Martha Harmon Pardee's performances.
Any additional comments?
This book apparently takes place between books 2 and 3 of the main series. I think I'll recommend that people should read this then, if they haven't already passed that point. It's a bit disconcerting when a character pops into a series/story and you've no idea where they came from. It's not especially important as she is a minor character in the series, but it is my recommendation. Honestly, I can't remember Elsie from the main series, though I'm sure she does pop up too.

When did the Narrator Change?
I purchased these back in 2013 and really enjoyed them because Martha did the narrations for them. I come back to listen to them again and the narrator has changed? I'm sure she does an alright job but I just don't care for her voice and it has kind of ruined these books for me. I now have 3 books in my list that I probably won't listen to again because of the narrator change.
I wish they'd let us know and keep the narrated version we prefer.
