I remember enjoying it when it first came out many years ago, but I don't remember much in the way of details at all. I've only listened to the first 10 minutes or so, so I haven't really formed an opinion on it yet.
I'm having a lot of trouble getting into this one. It's an older audiobook (2010) and uses more of a straight narration style than a voice actor style. In addition, the other books in the series are not available in audiobook. It's a lot like the first Arrows of the Queen version that came out about the same time. It wasn't until last year that they released the entire series with a new voice actor. Since I will be driving about a bit today, I'll give it one more day, but I suspect I may pull the plug on this and move on to the next Ryira book, Rise of Empire. I do have the Julian May series in ebook, so I may simply go back and read it as an ebook.
