wunderschön ❤️

Die Geschichte von Alec und Magnus geht weiter und sie bleibt dabei spannend und wunderschön! Ich war schon vom ersten Buch beeindruckt, und dieses steht den roten Schriftrollen der Magie in nichts nach. schön finde ich auch die kleineren Einheiten in den es um Max geht und darum Eltern zu sein. ich freue mich auf den nächsten Teil! B.D. Wong ist ein toller Sprecher. seine verschiedenen Varianten von asiatischen Akzenten ist witzig und trotzdem gut zu verstehen! ich werde es bestimmt noch 17 mal hören bis das nächste raus kommt 🙃

Dreadful performance, amazing story!

And so my suffering has finally ended!
After listening to the last two books in this universe ( The Red Scrolls of Magic and The Lost Book of the White) read by BD Wong.
The story is amazing as always, but the books read by him… My ears were bleeding.
He made it seem as if the characters were simple minded (read dumb) and even made Tessa seem a bitch (not sure if I should laugh or cry at this point) He made it out to me as if everyone was missing one half of their Brain! I’ve never once in my life written such a review, but it goes to the extent for me to type it down for you to understand how dreadful this was for me.
Trying to speak in accents, prolonging each word unnecessarily. I wanted to throw my phone against the wall and rip my hair out so many times. I won’t be listening to these books ever again as I have done so with the other ones many times. Which is unfortunate, because as said the Stories are amazing.

I really hope that he won’t be reading the next part of the eldest curses.

Beautiful

Again, I can’t say much about this book, without spoiling anything.
I have to say tho, that because of the time setting, the events are happening in, you weren’t as scared for the characters, as if it would happen now. You know everything will be fine. But still, I really wondered how. I mean ... it wasn’t obvious to me at all, wich I enjoyed very much. Also, some of the storylines we already know, made more sense at the end of this book.

Exciting story, awful reading

Wonderful extension of the shadowhunters' world, no words needed, nothing else to be expected of Cassandra Clare. But the reading is not only near to unbearable but also simply wrong in many ways. Why should James Carstairs have a Chinese accent? He's British! Simon simply sounds dumb and reminds me of John "a little to slow to catch up" Cartwright. Clary, Jace and Isabel all got the same intonation which is really annoying. Please do another version of these books (also The Red Scrolls of Magic) because it's simply torture to listen to this one even if you are really into the story.

Great story - strange reading

I LOVE the story, this is just my opinion about the reading:
BD Wong is a great reader but IMHO he just missed to use the right voices for the characters and I am wondering why this did not disturb anybody (during production). I am a huge fan of the tv show and used to the voices of the actors, which I all really loved (e.g. Alec and Jace sound how they are, like strong young men and Magnus with his dramatically and/or funny statements sounds just adorable, Isabel sounds wonderfull - how she looks like:-)).
This could be my reason, but the protagonists almost all sound very strange for me here:
- Alec sounds here like an uncertain little boy
- Magnus is “old” but he is not aging since he was around 20 (I believe), he babbles always like a very drunken old man here
Sorry, but this is going even worse during romantic conversations between them, which was not only a little irritating...
- I can’t describe Jaces voice, but he does not sound very intelligent at all
- Simon sounds like he would have some serious mental problems
- I liked Ragnor’s British accent on the show, but here he sounds like a cranky old man
- Shinyun is very hard to understand and I can hardly believe this is the way how Koreans speak english

It's a shame no one told the narrator to change his way of character presentation, I am sure he could do it way better.

Anyway I still would by the audiobook again because of the story.

Great plot, awful reading!

BD Wong's interpretation is very annoying and incompatible with the characters we've come to love and cherish.
