![]() ![]() ![]() Three Mages and a Margarita had all the aspects that I look for in a great story: intelligent writing style that’s easy to read, main characters with depth of personality that I can like and believe in, depth of character in the supporting cast, believable background story and setting and a balanced mix of relationship, tension, action and mystery. I would definitely buy books narrated by her in the future. I think the narration encapsulated Tori's character and the feel of the story brilliantly. Cris Dukehart is a new-to-me voice actor and as a narrated book, I was impressed with her performance loving the pace at which she read the story and her slight tonal adjustments for the dialogue. I downloaded the ebook for free using my Kindle Unlimited subscription and used my Audible credit to add the narration. The prose and pace used was good: the tale never felt rushed and came without any dreaded information dumps or slumps. ![]() I liked her writing style and I found this story easy to read.
