About this listen

Everything is on the line for probability mage Alex Verus in the 10th urban fantasy novel from the best-selling author of Fated.

Once Alex Verus was a diviner trying to live quietly under the radar. Now he's a member of the Light Council who's found success, friends...and love. But it's come with a price - the council is investigating him, and if they find out the truth, he'll lose everything.

Meanwhile, Alex's old master, Richard Drakh, is waging a war against the council, and he's preparing a move that will bring Alex and the life mage, Anne, under his control. Caught between Richard and the council, Alex's time is running out. To protect those he cares for, Alex will have to become something different. Something darker....

After the story became a bit repetitive in the last couple of books, it takes a turn and changes pace in the this volume. Finally there is some progress and we get a peak at some of Richard's big plans. Good Performance be Gildart Jackson, who I enjoy as a narrator. It feels as if he had ever so slightly changed his intonation on Arachne though. I'd really love for these books to be translated into a TV series. I struggle with all the different characteristics of Elsewhere and its probably easier to understand in a visual medium.

Closing in on the big finale

I love how the story continues, but it feels a bit rushed to get Alex to where he needs to be. it maybe smoother if you re-listen to the few previous books to get a more satisfying story pacing.

great book, and it brings the story to a reasonable conclusion, can't wait for the finale

I really enjoyed this, quite a few errors in the recording which was disappointing but nothing you can’t ignore.

If you love the Dresden files like me and read every one 10 times, you will like this even better, I thought it wasn’t possible, but wow 😳

The book is great, the story is fantastic and fast paced. It should be a thoroughly enjoyable listen but the narrator, who started off the series so well, has completely lost his way. Initially there were distinctive voices for each of the main characters, while not in the league of some of the vocal performers I’ve listened to, I could tell one character from another. The lines between characters have become more blurred in recent additions and as many have noted, arakni has turned into a dalek. I could handle all of that, as while it may have hampered may immersion into the story somewhat, it didn’t hamper my ability to follow the story itself. This has unfortunately changed with fallen.

I now find myself getting lost in conversations between certain characters. Anne sounds exactly like Alex, which seems to be the narrator’s normal voice. Chalice somehow developed an Indian accent and now sounds exactly like a less angry Veri. Arakni is worse then ever. It’s as if the narrator has completely forgotten his initial readings. Maybe it’s worse since I’m binging the series one book after the other so the memory of the past incarnations of the characters is fresh and the new ones feel ridiculously off kilter.

If it had been this bad from book one I would have likely never made it this far. May have to finish the series in paperback to save me from trying to follow AnnAlex’s further adventures in butchering a conversation.

What has happened to the narration??

You know where you are with this author, in for a hard twisted ride, lots of bucks and rears to make you want to stay to the finish. How will Alex survive? The only sure thing is that he will in some form or other but who will be with him, where and how that could go in any direction. Riveting writing, know way to stop listening.

Excellent book
