![]() ![]() Also a relief to get an unabridged version. This book is like an old friend that is a joy to revisit time after time and I'm pleased that now I can revisit the audio version as well as on the page. I particularly liked that they both seemed to have worked together to make their character voices similar but without overdoing it. ![]() Apart from that, it is a great performance of all the voices and I liked Harriet Carmichael too, although I tend to think Maree's voice is a bit lower than she plays it. You can suggest whispering or shouting without doing it. One slight annoyance is that the sound level of Chris Webster's performance varies a bit too much. I wasn't sure about the performances initially, but they really grew on me. ![]() The central characters, Rupert and Maree are beautifully drawn. they are not perfect and you like them in spite of or even because of their failings. One of the best things about DWJ characters is that they are believable. Traditionally, Earth’s junior Magid keeps an eye on the Koyrfonic Empire, but when his boss dies, Rupert Venables. Jones’s Multiverse has a magical dimension running from Ayewards, where magic is accepted and practiced, to Naywards, where few believe in it and even fewer use it. It stretches across worlds with a narrative that unfurls slowly, revealing things as it goes along. Belated US appearance for this 1997 fantasy from the England resident author of A Sudden Wild Magic (1992). There's a lot going on in it, it is clever, in a subtle way, rather than being in your face. A great interpretation of a favourite DWJ story ![]()

So I think the stories are illuminated in a different way because of the crisis that everybody was going through at that point. And of reaching and looking for help and for comfort. So I feel like the stories did take on a different nuance to me, because everybody was sort of in a place of pain at some point last year. I saw that in these stories, because there are women who prayed for years and years and years for something to come to fruition, or they’re betrayed we have widowhood in this book, infertility I mean, very 2021 problems, and 2020 problems.

The loneliness and code-switching that Ellice describes in the book are very familiar feelings I had while attending private school.
