Well done on Veronica Jigare's (sorry if I misspelled it) part of narrating. Though the editing quality was lacking. I ran into long pauses, mistakes left in and un-equalized speech that makes it hard to listen to. Other than that, Mercedes Lackey exceeded my expectations with plot and characters. She is able to do science fiction just as well as fantasy. And I would think that doing collaborations with other authors would be difficult, even with experience. I am not belittling Steve Libby, I simply don't have any references from past works. I do think that he has done well and I'll keep him on my "Authors To Look For" list. In summary: the story and narrating is engaging; though the audio made me want to edit it just to have the satisfaction of making something better. Would Podiobooks accept a revision from a concerned listener?

Convoluted


(5 stars)

I found, at times that it was difficult to keep track of the characters. The story line is fairly good. If you read this, you'll probably enjoy it. If you choose not to read it, you'll not be missing out on much.

Love this series, I would highly recomend


(5 stars)

These books are written well. I like the reader, though this book had a lot more stopping and re reading sentences.


(3 stars)

Definitely needs editing still. The constant errors and re-reads really break up the flow of the story.


The story is great, the reading is great -- the editing was a bit lax. Starting about Episode 20, used those clicks to mark spots that needed to be edited, then whoever was supposed to didn't go edit those spots. It's a bit disappointing, since otherwise the book is excellent, ...


This is terrible reordering. It needs to be edited. repeating sentences, snaps as if should be edited. Almost unlistenable. I have never had a problem with any books found on librivox.

pretty good
