High point: Great Narrator. High point: Interesting Premise High Point: Good writing Low Point: Too long – this story didn’t warrant this length in telling. Low Point: Very slow beginning – it takes forever to get to the action. The build up was tiresome to me. If you bill yourself as action oriented – then..
Not just this book but all the ones before. What a great series!! Great character arcs, surprising twists and turns to the story.

maybe a different narrater for the history but over all really good intriguing and it keeps you hanging

As an avid listener and reader this book and possibly series is going to be difficult to create a connection with any of the characters in the book. This is entirely due to the hardcore mode level/approach the author takes towards the naming schema of the ancient Chinese culture. the characters themselves are rather interesting..
I love this book. The story is addicting and the narrator perfectly captures the soul of it. I had previously read the book so I was delighted to find that the narrator told the story the same way I read it; well, except Jace. I think I made Jace out to be slightly less arrogant..
