This is a really good book. I really quite enjoyed listening to it and I personally enjoyed the narration. I am most definitely adding this to my favorites list.
Good

this series is an easy listen with characters you come to care about. it’s predictable, but there is usually a twist.
Too long and boring
Review from Spoken Bones →
The plot and reading moves at glacial pace. The characters are unbelievable, and the reader’s accent is so affected that it is a distraction.
What a great story with a unique twist on a magical house and wonderful cast of characters! I enjoyed the underlying themes and tropes such as found family, FMC who learns to become independent. I also enjoyed the narration as well. I typically listen at a faster speed and I was able to understand clearly…
Characters. I love the characters and their connections and interactions.

Very poor

Bottom line: A ‘worthy’ addition to your JAFF collection Full Review (NO spoilers): If I could give 1/2 stars I would give this 4.5 /5, overall. This was a nice, easy, enjoyable read. I’ve read A LOT of JAFF and I tend to enjoy those which mix both Austen’s spirit and a unique plot (not..
I’m not sure exactly what I like so much about this story /series, but something about it has me invested. Familiar types are all different from typical. Goblins are elegant, long-lived, taper-eared, and powerful. They like a good fight. Earnest and never break their word. I LOVE Guise. And so it goes, wolfkin aren’t exactly..
More of a cozy mystery.

Despite 3 tries, couldn’t get through it.Couldn’t warm up to the narrator’s style.Maybe good for some readers, just not for me.
