Such A Shame :-((
Would you try another book written by Gail Z. Martin or narrated by Gail Z. Martin and Peter Ganim ?
I have loved these books, ever since they were first published. I really looked forward to listening to these books. It is such a shame that the narrator did such a poor job of telling the stories. I still love the books, but I doubt I'll listen to another book narrated by Peter Ganim.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Jonmarc Vahanion is my favorite character. I love his irreverent attitude to just about everything.
How could the performance have been better?
It could have been so much better if it had been narrated by someone else, someone who could read the dialogue with more feeling. It sounded very flat, and sometimes sounded ridiculous.
Do you think The Blood King needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I know that there is a follow up story, and I also know that unfortunately it is narrated by Peter Ganim, which means it will not be narrated as well as it deserves to be.
Any additional comments?
I could wish that these books had been narrated by someone else. I still love the books, and will still enjoy reading them, in printed format.

A decent book
When I first read this book years ago, I absolutely loved it. However unlike her later books the chronicles of the necromancer feels like a good story hindered by wooden dialogue in places. The narration doesn’t help as his accents are all over the place and you can almost hear him cringing at some of the dialogue. Overall I’d give the series a solid 7 out of 10

formulaic, boring
feels like this book was written by a computer processing an algorithm where the parameters are antagonist=person1, love interest=person2, spiritual=person3, academic=person4 blah blah blah you get the picture. Nothing original at any point, was a chore to listen to most times, wish I could get my money back but more importantly my time! avoid!!!!!
