While certainly not BAD by any means, the narrator was rather “no frills”. ![]() Narrator: I listened to the audiobook version. I often felt my attention wander during the long sections where nothing much happens. THE NOT-SO-GOOD Pacing: Meandering pacing is something the author is known for, and this being his first book is perhaps even more pronounced. I felt like this was a love letter to cat owners everywhere. Cats to a T: Clearly a lover of cats, the author captures the feline self-centeredness as well as their generous natures. ![]() Language: I particularly like the cat language that is sprinkled in here and there, much like Watership Down, that makes this world feel more lived in and believable. So expect an Epic Fantasy about cats and you won’t leave disappointed. Of course, this is Tad Williams, who forced the publishing industry to invent a new binding system because his books were so long and epic, so that should come as no surprise. THE GOOD Lord of the Cats: This book has more world building and mythology than a book about talking cats has any right to. When I saw that they'd finally made an audiobook, I knew it was time. I’ve wanted to read this book since I was a kid and mesmerized by its eye-catching cover. ![]()
