liked the world building

enjoyable story and likeable characters with all the standard aj Sherwood characteristics. If you like Bel etc then you will like these three main characters. The narration is not good, while Dag is okay and that narrator okay, the others do random accents not only for their own characters but for side characters. Guards sound like muppet characters and at one point I swear one of Mikkel's business partners has a touch of Ludo from the Labyrinth.

Enjoyable story

Loved the characters, would have liked a more satisfactory/bigger squish of the villains. Enjoyed the three narrators’ performances, they were v good.

If you enjoyed this, I think the author’s Mage’s Guide to Human Familiars has the slight edge on this - also 3 men and magic :)

Excellent story, narration good, but accents dodgy

Loved the book, loved the audiobook, but narration could be better when it came to the voice of Mikael (not sure of spelling of name). He is meant to be Scandinavian, but his accent changed throughout. One minute it was heavily African, the next like an elderly heavy smoker. What it wasn’t was Scandinavian. It wasn’t great. However, the sound quality was excellent and the rest of the voices, even Stefan who was also Scandinavian, was consistent and good. Overall, a nice book to listen to.

Interesting story, lovable characters and I love it when the baddie gets theirs!

This was a great listen. The story was engaging with plot that kept me interested. The characters were intriguing with backstories that added depth. I look forward to the rest of the series!

Hhhhmmmm

I normally love all AJ Sherwood’s books especially the audios, but I think the 3 narrators through me off. I’ve listened to books with 3 narrators before and it’s been fine, but I couldn’t into these 3 together, voices jarred me to much out of the rhythm of the book. Waiting for the next book and I hope I can get back in my AJ Sherwood flow.

an interesting story

I enjoyed this book, it held my interest from start to finish. The characters are interesting and very likeable and the story itself has enough to hold the readers interest all the way through. The one big negative is the narration, given that two of the three main characters are Scandinavian and none of the narrators managed to get within a thousand miles of a decent (or believable) accent, I can only give an overall four stars .
