In the Aisling Grey, Guardian series, MacAlister has given herself ample room to stretch her humour muscles – and she has proven she has a deft comedic touch. Aisling exists in a swirling mass of utter chaos, with crazy things happening to her at almost every turn. Then again, Aisling isn’t sure she wants to be Drake’s mate since he’s sure to break her heart for a third time.Īlmost from the opening pages, Light My Fire moves at breakneck speed.
Dmitri, Drake’s cousin, is challenging him for leadership of the sept and refuses to acknowledge Aisling as Drake’s mate.
Drake, the sexy wyvern Aisling can’t resist, has just shown up in London and, in addition to making her pulse race, he tells her that the red dragons have just declared war on them. Jim, her trusty demon sidekick, manages to eat the imp king, ensuring Aisling a spot on the imp kingdom’s most wanted list. From almost the moment she arrives at her mentor Nora’s house, events just keep getting stranger. Aisling, demon lord, Guardian, and wyvern’s mate, has just moved to London to finally receive some much-needed training on the duties and powers of a Guardian. It saddens me that such a promising series has been torpedoed by terrible performances.Light My Fire, the third novel in Katie MacAlister’s Aisling Grey, Guardian series, may just be her best yet. I don't know how this was ever approved of the finished product. Also in this installment there are some really weird pauses, long enough to make me check if my earbuds had become unplugged. If that isn't bad enough she has this habit of swilling mucus noisily around in her mouth, you can hear her sucking it through her teeth and swallowing, I find it not only disgusting but distracting. I really don't mind the way she voices every other character but the voice she uses to read Aisling is that of a heavy smoker and old lady. Which brings me to my main issue with this series. The Aisling in my head does not speak the lines the way the narrator reads them. Parts of the story were a little dramatic for me but I wonder if I would have had the same issue if I were reading the books instead of listening. In this story Aisling's relationship with her demon, lover and mentor all progress with a heavy does of hijinks thrown in.
I still enjoy the plots enough that I will see the series out and with only one more book that is not much of a commitment. I loved the first story and is still in my mind the best, each subsequent installment I have liked less and had a harder time grasping the connections and explanations the authors uses. I continue to feel completely polarized by this series. Somebody please get the narrator a Ricola
