What made the experience of listening to In Ashes Born the most enjoyable?
I was introduced to Ishmael & friends in a version read by the author. The first person narrative just seems right to listen to, as if you are listening to a friend recount a tale.
What was one of the most memorable moments of In Ashes Born?
Ishmael’s conversations with his Tai Chi instructor. Plus there were subtle call outs that made me laugh when I got them.
Have you listened to any of Jeffrey Kafer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
This is my first time listening to Mr Kafer. It was a different experience – not quite the same as the author reading, but I feel he did a great job.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
The realizations by Ishmael of just how blessed he’s been. I have a feeling the next book will continue that theme. Also, #1 sponge.
Any additional comments?
I’ve loved this author for years – I’ve listened to the first series several times and appreciated in a new way each time. If you just like an adventure, it’s there, though the tone of this book is a bit more reflective than the Trader’s Tale.series. I’d recommend you start there to fully appreciate this new series.
