Reviews and Comments

I'm rereading this series, for the first time in audio. Loving it so much!

I thought this book was the best of the series so far. Looking forward to hearing what happens next.

This book held my attention much more than the ones before it. Still dragged me a bit in places, but I think this is my own preference rather than the actual book pacing. Recommended, and am going onto the next one right now.

Would actually have given this a 3.5, because I've tried several times over the last few years to read this and couldn't get into it. This time, for whatever reason, I kept going and enjoyed the end, making me want to read the second book. That's why i went up to 4 instead of down to 3. The end makes this book worth it, and begins to show the potential for the series. The second half of this is definitely better than the first.

This is not my usual cup of tea, but I am so glad I read it! It really was good. Looking forward to the next book ...?

I loved this reread and this author. I'm glad she's still writing books in this universe, and can't wait for the next one.

These stories shed much-needed light on things past and a story which reflects the future for those who have not read the later books. They are amazing.

Very much worth the reread. Loving this series and this author.

This is just as amazing the second time I read this series as it is the first.

Love this series so much! Starting a reread.

The only problem with reading a book as soon as it comes out is that I now have to wait for the next book. Loved this, as always. always worth the read.

I read this a scary number of years ago, and have remembered since how much I loved it. Now, rereading it, I remember why. I love G.G. Kay's writing style and the themes he explores in his books. also, randomly, loved the author's note at the end of the version narrated by Simon Vance.

I read this with my husband, one section at a time, read at the end of the day. He had read it before, but I hadn't. There is much food for thought here, and the writing is truly beautiful. I enjoyed the Audible version narrated by Michael Cramer and Kate Redding, because of the music interspersed throughout the writing. It greatly enhanced the experience.

Loved this so much. I highly recommend this entire series.

Each time I revisit these characters it's a joy. It's nice to see how the kids are growing up and how the main characters are changing and surviving. I know that some say it's a drawback that Bishop keeps on with the same characters, and perhaps it was when they were a subplot rather than the main plot of the book, but having them back in the limelight is so much fun. Loved this, and am already reading the book that came out this month which continues this story thread, or at least with the same characters.
