Enjoyable listen but you’ll likely figure it out before the end

Revisado: 07-31-24

The first novel I read by this author was The Last House Guest. I had purchase that book on a whim before a flight where I needed something to read. I had never heard of the author at that time and absolutely loved that book. Since then I’ve read The Only Survivors and now Daughter of Mine. Mostly I read each of those because of how much I enjoyed LHG. I’ve accepted at this point I probably won’t ever be as enthralled as I was with LHG but each of her books are fun and have a lot of twists.

Maybe grab the paper version to avoid narration

Revisado: 05-29-24

Story wise I think this is as good as the first two of the series. This is the first of this series i tried the audio version and Whoopi’s narration is sort of distracting to me. She reads it in a way I would describe as how you read a bed time story to your kid. It is frustrating to listen to because of this. But again the story and the actual book itself is still very good I’d just maybe opt not to do the audio version.

Narration is superb

Revisado: 04-25-24

This is the first book I have listened to by this narrator and he did an amazing job right from the start I couldn’t stop listening. Nice touch as well using a Scottish narrator for this book. The story itself isn’t really anything you haven’t seen before, two unlikely people forming an unlikely friendship/bond. However it is really well written and shines a light on a part of history that isn’t very well taught or understood, at least in the US.

Couldn’t stop listening

The world building is incredibly well done. Great narration too. Looking forward to starting the second book of the series.

Great narration

We all know the story by now but the narration makes it feel new again.

Well written

Revisado: 04-25-24

Well written and the narration is pretty good. There’s some twists you won’t see coming.

Short but good!

I do wish this book was a bit longer or if he could maybe bundle his books for one credit. But I did enjoy it and took away several things from it I will be implementing in my daily life.

Great stories

Revisado: 11-12-23

Like with any anthology, some of the stories here are better than others. They also save the best two, or at least the two I was most looking forward to when I purchased the book, until the very end. My only gripe here is the narrator of the third story, Homestead, is legitimately not a good narrator. I’ve seen other reviewers mention it too but she has this weird way of putting too much emphasis on the final word of each sentence. don’t know how else to describe it but you’ll see what I mean if you give this a listen. If you can just make it through that one story with her the rest have great narrators.

The premise wasn’t used to its full potential

Revisado: 11-12-23

I’m imaging some of the magic here may have been lost in translation but I didn’t feel like the time travel premise was used to its full potential. The time traveling also has so many rules you almost ask yourself at certain points, what’s even the point of doing it then? You’ll see what I mean on that if you end up trying this book. Overall just kind of meh on this one. Not bad, not great. The narration is good at least.
