Blood & Honey (Serpent & Dove #2)

I loved Serpent and Dove, but the entire plot of Blood and Honey seems so forced. It just feels as if there are a bunch of contrived side quests the characters need to go on without much logic behind them. The story moved so slowly and could not hold my attention. On top of that, there is absolutely no believable love between Lou and Reid, even during the times where there is supposed to be love and heat and passion between them, so this really deflates the whole story. On top of all of this, the performance of Holter Graham, who plays Reid, is SO SO bad. He is so nasally and does the weirdest, most over the top scratchy straining voices for each character. Saskia Maarlevedly (Lou\’s voice), on the other hand, was really great.

The male narrator was so hard to follow, it ruined the story. His cadence and sudden dramatic pauses through out the lines was almost unbearable.

Truly truly truly terrible. I couldn’t take it after suffering through him in the first book. The plot of this one wasn’t worth suffering through his voice. I couldn’t do it. I quit at chapter 9.

horrible isn\’t even enough to describe the male narrator. he is really really really bad and made it extremely difficult to get through this book. his horrible voice takes away from the story. he pauses wrong and his female interpretations are insulting. the female narrator is pretty good and I wish she just did the whole book. probably won\’t be continuing in this series unless I read the next book myself.

It was good, but I would have preferred if Shelby Mahurin didn\’t announce that there was going to be a death. I immediately assumed (right) who was going to die without knowing anything else. It took away from the experience for me since I was expecting it for months before B&H was released. Narrators are okay. Not my favorite but I mostly got used to their voices. They did a pretty good job changing their voice for different characters. I didn\’t care for Maarleveld\’s Reid voice too much. I think it would have been better to read, not listen to. There was a lot going on and a lot of new characters to remember. I still liked it though! I will purchase the physical copy and see if I like it better. Right now I just feel sort of blah about it.
