Thoughts: This has been a great series. I finished Book 1-3 before starting the Audiobook Diary. Book 4 is just as good as the first three books of this series. Jesse Bernstein does a great job narrating this series. If Frank Mueller and Jim Dale are the best of the best. Jesse Bernstein has put himself on the cusp of being a narrator that I would listen to the book because of him. He's not there yet. I'm waiting for the next book that's not part of the Percy Jackson Series.

Thoughts: The combination of a not so special story and a ho hum narratation made this a tough listen. The toughest part was getting started on this book. The first 45 minutes of this was very lackluster and challenged my resolve to listen to this book all the way through. I would not recommend listening to this book if it will be your first audiobook or your first star wars audiobook.
