The beginning of great Spooky story...

Great story and well narrated, but very different from the film Seventh Son.

Looking forward to listening to the next book.

Captivating

The narrator for this story was perfectly fit. The character voices brought the feeling of dread, fear, trust and disharmony to life. The novel itself is beautifully written and when you close your eyes, you can see the Spook's world as told by the author. This is a series I read when I was a teen and now listening to it as an adult is fantastic. An absolute recommended novel and series.

Easy on the ears

I enjoyed this book. Light and easy to listen to. The narrator did just enough without overdoing things.
