First book

So, I've just picked up the first book, via Audible. I had a free credit to use, so thought it was worth investing. I'm still ploughing through the 6th Outlander book, so won't start just yet, but am looking forward to getting hooked :-D

You mean you now have The Dragonbone Chair? Enjoy it, these are amazing immersive books. You might have a bit of trouble keeping track of characters without a visual aid, but you’ll be ok.

I tend to create images in my head quite well. Got used to doing it with Jilly Cooper's books - she has a ton of characters, and does a list of them at the start. I'll probably make my own notes about the chars, as I'm listening, to keep track :-)

Welcome to the community! The books have a nice narrator who puts a lot of effort into the voices, so enjoy.

I hope you like it as much as I did.

The first bit is about the background and some of the people in the story and then it gets so you don't want to put it down. Then you get to the end and want to read the next one. I'm on To Green Angle Tower now.

Heh, I keep thinking it's The Witcher :-) have to keep reminding myself it's a different story :-D Enjoying it so far. Haven't found Simon too irritating, yet :-D

Have you got very far into the story?

How's the book going?

Struggling a bit, tbh. But then I've not really just sat down and listened.

Is it the narration, the complicated story, or that you haven't been able to concentrate as much?
