I was a little worried that there was a new narrator for this audio CD. I listened to the first book on audio CD, and was so used to that narrator, and liked her so much, that I wasn't sure a new narrator could keep the same accents, tones, inflections, etc.
Happily, however, I was wrong. This narrator is just as good as the one from the first book. Further, the accents are all spot on - I can hardly even tell this is a different narrator. So, I really appreciated that continuity.
The book itself is superb. It's not often that I find all the book in a series to be fantastic. But, this second book is just as excellent as the first. Moreover, for me, it was a little better, as, in the first book, I found Rowley Picot irritating. Whereas, in this second book, he didn't annoy me quite as much. I even found some amusement in his character. Adelia, of course, was superb and I love her as a heroine.
I'll definitely be reading the whole series, it has me hooked! Highly recommend the audio CD's for both books.
