About this listen

The first three novels and the prequel novella in the million-selling Nate Temple Series: Obsidian Son, Blood Debts, Grimm, and Fairy Tale.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard.

I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application.

Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

The book is everything you would want - interesting, well written, with action, wit and a good plot.

This is nearly obliterated by the appalling narration by Joel Richards. Our lead character is supposed to be charismatic and alternatively, hot headed or irreverent. Mr Richards manages to make him sound like a sociopath - monotone, minimal character differentiation and lacking any degree of comedic delivery. I continuously kept expecting him to rasp out “I’m Batman”. I did hear this in the sample, but hoped he would relax as the story progress. Hmmm,.. not so much.

So, my recommendation is read the series and give the Audible a clear pass. What a d*mn waste. The only reason I started this series, was because I when I began the Feathers and Fire set, I was missing so much backstory. Now, those books are excellently narrated.

Love the book, hate the narrator

I like omnibuses like these, especially for first in series books. It takes a while to find you’re stride as an author so it’s good to see the book in the context of further works. The first one was enjoyable but had some annoying problems. I strongly dislike the every guy/girl main meets finds him irresistible trope. That is toned down by book three. I love to see a character grow. Already reading the next set in the series!

First in series but grows on you.

I was really hoping this series would be amazing. But unfortunately it fell way short for me. Nate's voice is so mundane and monotone it was kinda boring. I stopped listening at chapter 20 in the first book, maybe it gets better after that.

Hoping for fabulous
