Stina Nelson - she is Poppy, Cass and Kieran personified. Her voice is simply perfect for this series. Now that she has the enunciation of the word “eather” under control, this book was a delight. 


ARTICULATION  - clean and clear. 
BREATHING – controlled, volume, consistent, project appropriate, low mouth noise
DELIVERY – solid and in the spirit of the text and author’s intent. Timing and pacing is extremely appropriate. Varied and not too predictable. No editing issues. 
EYE BRAIN MOUTH CONTROL – accurate and effortless delivery.
CONSISTENT – high energy, good articulation, breath and pitch control.
ANALYSIS – understands the story arc and characters.
CHARACTERISATION – brings to life. Distinct and consistent in tone, attitude, age, accent. Voices match characters. 
SEPARATION- clear and decisive for both performers.
INVESTMENT – the emotional connection helps with visualisation.

WARNING, don’t listen to this one unless you have read ALL the other books up to this point. It is definitely a FAN book - and I loved it. 

This book is exactly what the title says - a compendium, delightfully comprehensive too. While we have snippets of the delightful and incomparable Miss Willa woven in between, don’t expect this book to be a full narrative piece. Personally, I would NOT recommend this as an audio read. I think as a physical book it would make more sense and would be a great companion to the full series reads. 

The snippets of narrative that are given throughout are delightful and decadent. As a fan it did have me questioning a few plot twists that should come. I think this book was a brilliant idea to get the whole and complete stories of both the “Blood and Ash” and “Flesh and Fire” series into one book. A great review of an epic story. The “fan” can easily see how the books are interrelated. Also a fantastic idea to have those stories reviewed with the knowledge that more the story will continue well into the future. Bravo Miss Willa and JLA.
