(Audio book review) Male narrator, although not as good as the narrator of Berg's newest book, Dust and Light, still did a decent job. I didn't care for his reading of Dante, however. He does it with a deep, gravely voice, making Dante seem far, far older than just twenty six years. I had to try and keep in mind how young Dante really is, but other than that, I enjoyed the performance.The story itself grabbed me from the start, pulled me in, and never let go. I'm writing this after I finished book 2 because as soon as I finished this book, I immediately had to start the next.I don't know why I've waited so long to read these other books by this author. I loved the Lighthouse series and Dust and Light, so while I wait for the sequel to Dust and Light, I decided to try one of Berg's other books. Boy, I feel so stupid for missing out on these!Oh - and the cover art! So beautiful. As wil all of the books I have read so far by Carol Berg, this one has many characters to remember. I liked Portier a lot and would have liked to have seen his relationship with Maura to have been developed a bit further than it was. Perhaps this will happen in one of the other two books in this series. For the most part, the book read along pretty quickly. But there were a bit too many slow parts that seemed to make the novel take longer to read than I normally do. However, in the end, I liked the novel very much and look forward to reading the rest of the trilogy.
Do You like book The Spirit Lens (2010)?
I found this book dragged. It was overly descriptive and the ending was not satisfactory.
