Listened to this one in a single setting. Only complaint is that it ended. Look forward to starting the next one.

it was really good once I started to understand the book

Toally enjoyed both the story and the narrator! Kept my interest, good characters.

I thought the story was OK. I couldn't get excited by the main characters other quests. The narrator had a good accent, but I felt he was too monotone that either didn't keep my focus or interest. I will not continue this series.

This is the most Jungian fantasy story perhaps ever. I enjoyed it immensely, and yet somehow I often felt it was missing something. I felt like I was entering a beautiful house, with wainscotting, and tapestries, and yet why did someone forget to put a roof on this house? And why is their no washroom in this house? What exactly the story is missing, and why it feels half finished is a little harder to express in declarative language. Still, it feels incomplete, and though I appreciate the skill of the author and beauty of the creation, I would never return to it again; just as I would never return to a bed and breakfast where it rained on my head and there was nowhere to wash.

I love Ursula Le Guin’s writing and now I love it more! This narrator, Rob Inglis, just brings her story to life! So glad I chose a listen i stead of a read. And I have never said that because I live reading! And BTW it is an awesome book too!

wonderful writing and compelling story

The book is extraordinary but the narrator read it as though he was reading a bible reading in church and had never been asked to do it before. Also, all the spaces between the sentences seem to have been taken pit so that it is both hard to absorb the information and also you feel quite breathless on the narrator’s behalf.
