Audio Review: The Refiner by Kristy Marie, narrated by Heather Firth & Jason Clarke (The Hands of the Potters #2)

Note: The audiobook was provided by the author.

Heads up, dearest fellow Dr. Potterheads (and non-Dr. Potterheads)! If you've got an Audible credit saved up just waiting to be used for something absolutely worthy of your aural fixation, then I highly suggest you fork it up for The Refiner, the second audiobook in the Hands of the Potters series. Listening to the first audiobook, The Potter, isn't a requirement, but it's one of my favorites for 2022, so go and give it a listen anyway, okay?

Penned by Kristy Marie and narrated by Heather Firth and Jason Clarke, The Refiner is the story of the eldest Potter brother, Astor (37), who is shocked to find out that he has a newborn daughter and that the friend and colleague whom he got pregnant has passed away. His greatest source of support turns out to be rather surprising as well--his friend's younger sister, Keagan McKeller, who's made no secret of just how much she dislikes him.

Have tissues on hand, listeners, because The Refiner had me teary with all its angsty goodness as much as it brought the wit and humor. That doesn't mean, however, that Astor and Keagan's story is dark and dreary. There is loss and grief, but there is also love, both romantic and familial. Heather Firth and Jason Clarke's narration is wonderfully engaging, a superb accompaniment to Kristy Marie's impeccable writing. Five-plus stars!
