Gripping

Oh wow. I did think that a nearly seventeen hour story, I would be wondering when is it going to end? But as I listened to the first two books in the series i couldn't very well skip out on the end, even if the author did kill off a lot of my favourite characters in the last one. Not to say he didn't kill off more characters but surprisingly no tissues were needed as there was no time to morn before the story was onto the next disaster or problem and I am Oh, so glad I got the book. Never once did I think the author was getting paid by the word. There is so much going on that it remained entertaining and mysterious all the way through. There is also a lot of betrayal and action to keep it moving along nicely, especially as you spend most of the time trying to work out who our two hero's can trust. I do think you need to have read or listened to the previous two books to understand the complicated history and what has happened. I liked the characters and they are the reason I returned to the series, to find out what happened to them. A very good writer who knows how to entertain and well worth a listen to.

I liked the narrator. He was a good choice for this series, as he puts in an excellent performance that made the hours just fly bye like magic.
