Wow, as I said on Twitter, partway through this episode I became hooked. I really enjoy your narration, and you’re a great writer! I like you style, you write beautifully and I think the pacing of your novel moves really well. I’m so glad I have many more episodes to listen to before I catch up, when I do, it’ll be a bit sad
Keep up the great work!!!
HI Paulette, I like the set up in t he second ep. I think a fool and his money are soon parted. Looking forward to ep 3.
Keep it up, you are doing good work.

Hi Paulette,
I really enjoyed the two episodes so far and am eager to hear what’s coming next (even though you already read chapter 5 at the Zu Coffee reading). After listening to the 2 episodes I have the feeling that a LOT is going to happen, I like the pace of the novel, no chance to get bored.
Your cast members do a fantastic job, too. I found myself smirking when I heard Christiana Ellis’ voice in a scene that is roughly built upon a dragon attack.
I am of course also going to write a review on iTunes, I just wanted to wait for 1 or 2 more episodes before doing so.
So keep up the great work! Alex
