Echo in Emerald by Sharon Shinn

This whole audible original thing is interesting. In this case, I feel like I might have enjoyed this one better in print -- which is nothing against the narrator. She did an excellent job. There's just something about the language in this one that I think I'd have liked better read. Anyway... Overall I think I liked Chessie a smudge better than Brianna. So, why one less star? Well, mostly I have some unresolved ill feeling towards a certain noble and his view on acceptable treatment of women in the prior novel. Now I'm worried that he won't get his comeuppance by the time the series ends. If anything, I think I was supposed to feel sympathetic to him this go round. No. Otherwise, I got a little tired of the descriptions of Chessie's switching. I felt it went on rather far fast when I got the point.

The plot, itself, is a fun investigation and interesting exploration of parts of the kingdom we didn't get to see before.
