Book 1 of The Guild of the Cowry Catchers was awesome. And it will just get better as more books come out. Abbie took the world of Panamindora, which I love, and pushed it into the adult world. Prophet of Panamindora had it's dark moments, but there is no denying that Cowry Catchers is leaps and bounds above that. The plot is complex, the characters are deep and well thought out. One of the best parts is the listener really can't like any one character completely. The main characters are either mean, naive, oblivious or shallow, which is a nice touch of realism. For a book who's job it is to mostly set up the backstory and plot, it has plenty of action and plot twists. And it even ends in a cliff hanger! Everyone should go listen to it.

Plus I'll have art in one or more of the episodes in the next book.

I'll have to add this to iTunes when I get home.
