⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️   production / 5 

🎤  NARRATED BY  🎤 Stina Nielsen. 37hrs 1min

Stina is the voice of Flesh and Fire. What a marvellous job, yet again. I cannot imagine listening this this series with her voice. 

ARTICULATION  - clean and clear 
BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, low mouth noise.
DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. 
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate and effortless delivery.
CONSISTENT – high energy, good articulation, breath and pitch control.
ANALYSIS – understands the story arc and characters.
CHARACTERISATION – attempts to bring to life. Distinct and consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters. 
SEPARATION- clear and decisive for both performers.
INVESTMENT – the emotional connection helps with visualisation.

I throughly enjoyed this final book in the Flesh and Fire Series. Everything came together in a neat little bow. If you are an avid follower of the Blood and Ash series, then this series is for you. All the back story. As a reader/listener, you could easily see (more aptly wish for) many more series coming from the original story. 

Once again, I found one or two errors. A wrong character name said at the wrong time. This has occurred in just about each book in both series (Blood and Ash and Flesh and Fire) which is more than a coincidence in my opinion. Yes, I stopped and went back and checked, and yes, it’s there! Interesting! 

Nyktos (Ash) and Sera are simply devine in this book. Nyktos has maintained his spot on the boyfriend bookshelf.
