Nina Kimberly The Merciless Christiana Ellis

It started out as just light fantasy comedy, but as I kept listening,
it grew on me. By the end, I was quite attached to some of the characters
(I hope the author writes more fiction featuring them).

I'm very impressed with the variety of voices the author used
in telling the story aloud.

Apparently there's an earlier version of the story, with more
sound effects, and a later version, with fewer or none. I listened
to the earlier version, and enjoyed the sound effects, and don't
expect to listen to the later one.

Loved the characters, story was fun, sound quality was exceptional. More Nina would be a good thing.

I only found podiobooks less than a year ago and have voraciously consumed them since. This is the *only* completed novel I have listened to more than once.
I find the "whiny" aspect of Nina's voice both annoying and part of her charm. Nina is (PLEASE don't tell her I said this) flawed in a way that is both accessible and refreshing.
Fantasy needs more of the self depreciating humor found in Nina's story - but unlike some, she's not lost the personal introspection and social commentary that keeps me coming back to this genre.
Nina - please make sure to protect the well-being of your scribe. She does your biography, reputation and the literary world a great service!
