From a High Tower

Though the switch to Germany and it\’s plethora of tales has helped restore the faith in this series I lost when Steadfast came out, there\’s still something missing. The story is entertaining and the characters are interesting, but the flow is almost too smooth. When the final conflict came it was somewhat predictable, and the only \”surprise\” at the end was actually rather underwhelming. Overall, it\’s worth reading as part of the series. But it\’s not going to be the book that makes your week, or the one that keeps you awake at night to see how the chapter ends. if you like the series then it\’s an enjoyable listen to pass the time. Otherwise all that can be said about it is that it\’s an interesting adaptation of Rapunzel, as well as an interesting look into certain aspects of German culture that aren\’t often discussed.

This is a road trip story, so it progresses in a rambling sort of way, with a lot of day to day detail and entertaining episodes. There\’s a bit of more focused plot at the end, for a satisfying finish, but mainly, it\’s a road trip. Jennifer Van Duck does a good job with all the many voices and accents.

It was excellent. everytime my mind thought it would go one way, it went differently.

I have been a fan of the Elemental Series since I started reading them and haven\’t missed one yet. No great words of wisdom from me, just a general like of this book. Performance was good, story was enjoyable, a twist on the Rapunzel theme, and basically recommended for anyone who likes light reading.

Great story. Narration was good except for mispronunciation of most of the German words. That was distracting.
