Cursed by Fire: The Immortal Brothers by Jacquelyn Frank
3.0
This is very hard for me to grade. I was interested in the story, and wanted to know how it would all work out. This part of the book was quite satisfying. Also some of the secondary characters, including the bad guy, were well done. And I liked the heroine and her personal story arch.
My problem was with the hero, his internal voice was often grating, some of his views deeply problematic to me. I understand what the author was doing, his personality made sense in the context, but I just wasn’t comfortable with him.
The narrator is one of my favorites, I adore his fantasy audiobooks. I am less happy with the kind of romances he gets to narrate.
My solution was to listen at a higher speed, and to jump through the sex scenes.
That way I could enjoy the story without the things I did not like disturbing me too much.
After re-reading the above I came to the conclusion that I really enjoyed the fantasy aspect of this book, but it did not work for me very well as a romance.
