The Magical Hunt“The former book ended on another cliff-hanger and I was looking forward to the final one. Princess Elodie has to fight her way back home and I enjoyed her development a lot. It was exciting to follow her facing her feelings and herself. She still has to choose between her knight and her prince and I could feel her insecurity. Over the three books I learned more about her companions and the different type of love she developed for both of them.
The world building reminds of a fairytale, but it is dark and dangerous. The author Down Brower creates dangerous creatures; I enjoyed her creativity a lot. The question “who is to trust?” hovers over all.
The end felt a little bit rushed for me, but I got answers to all my questions.
Over all I enjoyed this series a lot and was surprised by the world building and the character development.
Every audiobook in this series got a different narrator. This one is narrated by Christopher Boozell. I love his deep and gentle voice.”
Diamonds Don’t Cry“This audiobook is a bit short with less than three hours, but it contains everything that makes a good romance - the essence, in a manner of speaking.
The story starts when JD left Scarlett at the altar. It was amazingly easy for me to pick up on the emotions at this point. Scarlett processes her deep wounds in her music, but when JD comes back into her life it becomes dangerous for her well protected heart.
To be honest, I wasn't expecting any further content, but I was surprised with the additional dramatic twists and turns and the supernatural sense of some of the characters. Unfortunately, all these details are just mentioned but could have been much more. I also missed some clarifying conversation. With all these great ideas, the story could have been twice as long. It remains the essence of a story that entertained me well but could have been a lot more.
The audiobook is narrated by Rhonda Cusumano. She got a great sense for the emotions and I liked her interpretation of the different character.”
The Bespelled Knight“After the breathtaking ending of the first book, I was looking forward to the next one. Princess Elodie is on a mission to find her knight and a way back home. During the jurney with prince Daire and the two animals she gets to know Daire much better.
The world building was great. Everything got a fairytale touch and still feels a bit dark and dangerous. The author Dawn Brower finds the ideal balance between the characters' world of thought and an exciting storyline.
I liked Elodie more than in the first book. Her reflections become more centred. In this story I learned more about prince Diare. It was hard to resist his charm and I could easily understand Elodies struggle with her emotions. It’s getting more and more dangerous for the group and the twists and turns of the story were great. The end hit me unexpectedly and hard – I can’t wait to get the next book in this series.
Every audiobook in this series got a different narrator. This one is narrated by Rudy Duriex. In my opinion it sounds a little bit choppy and I didn’t like his interpretation of female voices so much. But I enjoyed his way to transport the emotions to the listener.”
