Great new fantasy. Kim Harrison/Faith Hunter fans

Listened to he books back to back. This is basically a new favourite fantasy series and at the moment, finding one that appeals to a female audience, is available from audible U.K., has an amazing plot and keeps your interest all the way through, is harder and harder to find. The series is billed as a female Indiana Jones working in a world where the old supernatural legends are true. The mythical creatures and archaeological sites seem to have had far more thought put into them than the old film scipts and therefore feel more authentic than the movies I watched as a kid. Stylistically the writing feels like Kim Harrison meets Faith Hunter. The heroine is both flawed enough and likable enough to be interesting and leave room for progression. I struggled with the first few hours in book one, as Owl is a bit childish and superficial for a 27 year old woman but that's o.k. as it works for the series plot and I think may become even more integral to the plot as it progresses. There are a lot of interesting characters in these stories, with human and inhuman motivations sometimes harder to work out than the ciphers and traps on the tombs Owl deals with. Can't wait for the next one. BTW pet lovers, the cat steals the show.

The narrator does really well, especially with all the different accents and the humour comes through much better in this book.
