3.0
3.5 for Story, 3 for Narrator William Dufris
Mini-Review:
I really liked Dufris as the narrator when I listened to the first three books of the Vesik series, but that was earlier this year and what I want from a narrator has changed subtly since then. Dufris is a good narrator but the voice he uses for the main character Vesik is a bit "old" for the character. The conflict of what I visualize in my head and the voice he uses for him make the listening experience not as fun.
All the important pieces are in place and a ton of action explodes into being. I still really like Vesik and the world that Asher has created. Not sure if I care about the pacing for this book. It's a bit unwieldy. Several tasty bits of info was given and there is sure to be more action to come. A fun urban fantasy.
