Great to listen to

I was very excited to see that the next installment of The Eventing Series had finally been released in Audible. I was just starting a new job, and was back to commuting, so I knew what I was going to listen to during my drives. I enjoyed the direction that Natalie went with the story. It was different from the other books and seeing the growth in Jules was great. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to her learning to balance the coaching aspect and the horse training aspect.

There were times when it was really hard to follow along between Peter and Jules. I am finding myself disliking their relationship more and more. Although they do work through their issues, I find that they are a bit toxic for each other and not in an enjoyable reading way (if there ever can be an enjoyable to read toxic relationship). Further, I was disappointed in the change of narrator. I did get used to Naomi by the end of the book, I found her hard to listen to at times. There were plenty of moments where it felt like she paused to look down, take a sip of water, and/or struggled to really connect with the horse world aspect of the story. It also felt like Naomi did not listen to the original performance from Piper and didn't attempt to mimic the way the characters were set up. For instance, Lindsay was way to peppy in her tone. There were times where it was hard to decipher between her and Lacey.

Overall though - I did enjoy the story, and the performance was good enough to get the story out onto Audible.
