The Manipulator. I can manipulate the emotions of anyone who lets me. I will make you hurt, make you cry, make you laugh and sigh. But my words don't affect him. Especially not when I plead for him to leave. He's always there, watching and waiting. And I can never look away. Not when I want him to come closer. The Shadow. I didn't mean to fall in love. But now that I have, I can't stay away. I'm mesmerized by her smile, by her eyes, and the way she moves. I'll keep watching and waiting. Until I can make her mine. And once she is, I'll never let her go.

Great book, slightly jarring narrator switch.
I am only giving the performance 4/5 because the change in narrator from the last 2 books is jarring for the first bit. You get used to and I then realized this narrator is also great and it was only the change that threw me a little.

Terrible Narrator
The whiny narrator ruins the story completely. The way she reads sounds like she is surprised by every word and the pitch is just nails on a chalk board. If you want to enjoy please read it yourself. It is unbearable.

A perfect balance of action/romance
I like this series overall, but it is not for everyone, its faulty and it has a lot of gaps, sone characters dont make sense and some actions either so if you are looking for realism, well I dont recommend this book(or any fantasy book for that matter). If you are however, looking for a nice fantasy romance with a magic twist, I highly recommend it. I LOVED THIS BOOK through and through, my favorite part was all the action it had and all the careful planning and strategy. The switch in narrators was unexpected and unwelcomed at first but the narrator grows on you, if you can endure it for a little bit (its very annoying for the first chapters but then its ok, and by the end you love her)

Tip for a better listen
To address the new narrator, I always listen to my audiobooks at 1.5 speed and so I had no issues with her whatsoever, she sounded good at that speed.
The first two books were better in my opinion as I felt this one was unnecessarily long and made it harder to get through.

Change in narrator not as jarring as other described - found her to be a bit more “animated”, which I enjoyed.

Loved it, despite new narrator (give her a chance)
I'll admit, I had a difficult time getting into this one (but loved it none-the-less). The new narration was just so different from Jennifer Ikeda -- for Feyre and Rhysand particularly. However, about a quarter of the way through, I was over it and just enjoying the story itself. Cobb did a really amazing job with the thrilling last half of the book in particular. Knowing that we have some character-focused novellas and novels coming up in the series, I know she'll do a great job with them (she nailed Cassian, Nesta, Amren, and Mor, I thought). looking forward to more Maas books narrated by Cobb (or Ikeda should she come back to the series). The fandom should definitely not fear this one. It's a great listen!

Not that bad!!
After seeing these reviews, I was really scared to listen to this. I loved the first 2 books SO MUCH! Jennifer Ikeda ruled. Why the switch!? I wish she had kept going, and I don't know why they chose someone new, but honestly? Once I got over being pissed off, it wasn't that bad! I mean, Amanda is no Jennifer, but I think she did her best. The characters were good. Lucien's brothers were fantastically evil. I just miss the overall tone of Jennifer as Feyre. I felt like I got to know her, and now it was like a completely different person.
And since this book is over 25 hours long, how were people writing reviews THE FIRST DAY IT CAME OUT!? I don't think half those people even gave the new narrator a chance. They couldn't have had the time to listen to it. So. I admit, it took a while for her to find her stride, I think, but once I got past my initial shock and dismay, and I started listening to the story itself? I was still interested, and I was still moved.
Chapter 44 - with all the high lords? And that scene with the cliff? Oh - and Lord Grayson scene with Elaine???? Come on. It was good. Admit it. Of course, you have to listen that far.
It probably sucks to step into such a popular series, so I say job well done -- even if I wish Jennifer was still doing it....

Why change the narathor ????????
Is there anything you would change about this book?
No, no, no!!!!!!!! This is my favored series; I was supposed to re-listen to them over and over again; now I'm debating to ask for a refund for this one!!!! Nothing agains THIS narathor, but these where not the voices of the personages we love; the voice is weird and no suited for Rhysand or any of the male carachters; very very wrong choice; im just going to finish reading the paper book; the previous voice was perfect :(
What was one of the most memorable moments of A Court of Wings and Ruin?
From the audiobook? None!!! I couldn't concentrate on the book; I kept getting frustrated with the voice; at a point I just stoped listening; I will finish the book by reading the hard copy; which btw is perfect
How did the narrator detract from the book?
It was horrible; nothing agains her, but it was very wrong for this series; a bad choice; the most I got upset because her interpretansion if Rhysand is just bad, no emotion as in previous book( btw: I have listen to 100 time:))
Did A Court of Wings and Ruin inspire you to do anything?
Very disappoint in the voice ( new narathor it's just not good for this series)
Any additional comments?
Bring the old narathor , I'll even buy the book again; this was suppose to be one of those book that I could listen over and over again ; now I'll just have to make it work with the first two :( very upset

BRING JENNIFER IKEDA BACK TO NARRATE THIS - REDO!!
Any additional comments?
Please bring Jennifer Ikeda back and do a redo of this audiobook because Amanda Leigh Cobb just butchers it for me and I'm sure for many others as well. I love SJM's books and I feel Jennifer Ikeda does a wonderful job narrating The Court Of Thorns And Roses series. PLEASE REDO PLEASE REDO PLEASE REDO!

I LOVE THIS SERIES, but the new narrator....
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
NO. There is background noise, seems like her voice is echoing, and I didn't like the idea that we started with one narrator and switched with another.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Amanda Leigh Cobb?
Jennifer Ikeda

Why change the narrator? Horrible decision!
I love this series. I bought every book on ebook, hardcover, and audio version. But I feel almost betrayed by recorded books that they changed the narrator for the last book in the series that is written from Feyre's POV!!!!!!!! Jennifer Ikeda was amazing and brought this story to life. This narrator is not great. She is better for cheesy novels. Overly dramatic, bad acting. All of the intimate scenes were no longer sexy, but corny dime store romance novel-esque in the voice of Amanda Leigh Cobb. The least she could have done was listen to the previous 2 books and tried to mimic the previous narrator. It feels like my favorite TV show recast the main character. This decision ruined this series in audio version for me.

The narrator ruined it for me.
I tried, I really did. I’m 2/3 of the way through the book. I’m half listening. The story is not the same, the characters are not the same, it’s ruined. Missing Jennifer Ikeda I don’t know if the writing changed or if all of it is due to the new narrator. I wish I wouldn’t have wasted the credit and read it on kindle with Jennifer’s voice in my head. It’s really upsetting that the new narrator didn’t listen to Jennifer Ikeda and pick up on the nuances that make these characters. She completely changed the way that they act by inflicting too much too often. It’s like listening to my bonus daughter watching Barbie but with shitty sex scenes.

if you liked it before you'll appreciate this one
I don't why so many coments fixate on the narrator. sure the voice changes but you get used to it and I find she conveys more emotions. as for the story, if you liked it before you'll appreciate the end of the chapter ! even if the "very end" was a bit disappointing to me.
