I started listening to the audiobook version of Katherine Kerr's Deverry novels because I have loved them since I was 18 years old, have reread them throughout my life but now can no longer read print books without getting migraines. Unfortunately I barely made it halfway through the first book before I had to give up. The narrator is too robotic between dialogue, racing through the descriptions, hardly breathing or pausing between sentences with very little inflection. I tried speeding it up but it was too fast to comprehend, and slowing it down just made the robotic quality worse. Interestingly, the narrator's accents and voices during the dialogue were fantastic, which is why I was able to stick it out as long as I did. But I am sad to see that every single book in this series is narrated by the same narrator, therefore I will never been able to read these books again.

These books are my ‘comfort blanket’. The first fantasy books I was introduced to as a child (secretly reading them from my Mums book shelf) and wow have these stories stuck with me into adulthood.

I’ve read them at least 4 times start to finish, and they never get any less engaging. I’m totally invested in all the characters and the world that Kerr has built, even when jumping back and forth between timelines these books are so well written it’s easy to keep up.

When i’m in a ready slump (or life slump), I was jump back into the world of Nevyn, Jill and Rhodry.

Recommend to any lover of fantasy books.
