Great story telling

With a real, genuine warmth in its lack of pretension. I hope audible will continue to release these wonderful books.

Outstanding

I began reading these books in the 90s. It is so wonderful to listen to them and relive the stories again.
The voices are excellent, I can’t wait to hear the rest of the series.

My favourite fantasy series

What a joy it was to discover the first four in the Deverry series available for one credit. I’ve read the series twice over a couple of decades and am loving the audio version.

Great books. Narrator excellent, with one flaw.

I have read the original editions of these books many times. While I enjoy the depth of story and characters, I understand that the complexity involving reincarnation of the major characters across many generations might be confusing to the first-time listener. I use the wiki frequently as a reference to keep track of the different incarnations of each character.

The narrator might be one of my favorite narrators. My only complaint is that she raises the volume of her voice into a loud near-shout whenever a character shouts in the text. 99% of her narration is great, so the issue is not bad enough that the audiobook is not worth buying. However, I hope my comment somehow changes how future books are narrated...

Enjoyed it

Actually quite liked this series. Nevin is a great character. Starting out with incest had me thrown, but it’s worth the listen
