About this listen

The youngest in a long line of witches, Ari senses things are changing for the worse. For generations, her kin have tended the Old Places, keeping the land safe and fertile. Now, she finds herself torn between the world of mortals and the world of Fae, who ignore what occurs in the mortal world, for the roads between the two lands are vanishing into thin air.

Terrible narration good story but slow

Great story though there was a lot of padding and so it seemed very slow at time. The narration was horrible, too few pauses and did not suit the style of the story.

Love this trilogy but terrible narrator!

I’ve read this myself so many times but thought I would buy the audio book for while I’m working. Terrible narration! Why does every sentence sound like either a question or a statement? Kind of ruined the beautiful world that Ann bishop created! I would have also expected a story from the perspective of a female protagonist to be narrated by a woman! I would advise reading the books before listening to the audio book!
