I'd never think of picking up my own print of Dresden Files, Soul Screamers or Shade series... but there you go: outstanding audio performances, all of them. <br /><br />I'll be honest and tell you a little secret, Maria: I kept coming back because of Magnus. <br /><br />There, I say it. Now let's hope the Jace die-hard fans don't eat me! *laughs*<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, and for your wonderful comment!Ron C.

The story is...Yeah, different is good in this case. The story is over, and rather than milk a conflict that's found a suitable end, it was a good plan to start afresh. But I still think that they started off too slow... Took more than half the book to hook me, and if you stop to think about it, nothing really *happens*. <br /><br />But... yeah. It's different than reading on your own, that's for sure! :) <br /><br />Thanks for the comment!Ron C.

(Yeah, that's how much I love this series!) I don't think I could ever listen to a recorded book without reading it in print first. (I don't do ebooks.) So I think most of the problems you had with this book (except for Jace acting like a jerk) were probably due to the monotone voices you mentioned. <br /><br />I really admire your persistence! You kept at it, coming back to the book again and again... I, too, like to finish a book, unless, of course, it's so horrendous I just don't want to waste my time. Kudos to you!!<br /><br />I've heard a lot about this series, and own all the books, would you believe...yet, have never read it. I really appreciate your honest thoughts about this volume. Now I want to get to these books more than ever!

CoFA is certainly different but I think its a good thing because its technically the start to the new trilogy. I have never did audio but I'm sure it would be different than reading on your own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
