About this listen
Raised among humans, Ori Jones only discovered he was an avian shifter six months ago. Unable to complete a full shift until he reaches his avian maturity, he still can't be sure of his exact species.
But with species comes rank, and rank is everything to the avians. When a partial shift allows the elders to announce that they believe Ori to be a rather ugly little duckling, he drops straight to the bottom rung of their hierarchy.
Life isn't easy for Ori until he comes to the attention of a high ranking hawk shifter. Then the only question is, is Ori really a duck - and what will his new master think when the truth eventually comes out?

Rob M Maskew does a fantastic job of portraying hesitant Ori and superior Raynard, as well as crows and an Eagle. All the voices fitting each bird so well.

Loved it!

I came to know Kim Dare's work from Axel's Pup(which if you haven't tried already, you must try IMMEDIATELY) and I was really excited to try some of her other works.
Duck did not disappoint at all. What a truly beautiful story between shifters that develops so nicely. I loved both characters and how Ori grew with his hawk at his side while learning to accept and love whoever he may turn out to be.
If you're on the fence, I recommend you do yourself a favour and try this lovely piece today.
LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT

🎧 Rod M Maskew gave Raynard’s Hawk an authoritarian baritone while Ori’s Duck got a higher pitched voice and tentative delivery which I loved. I enjoyed Hamilton’s Eagle whose Scottish burr softened his no-nonsense tone. However, the narrator made Raynard sound imperious even when he searches his soul, a pivotal component of his character growth. Though Raynard and Ori have many great moments together, the narrator did not inject passion into the intimate scenes or add tenderness to emotional beats. Maskew’s dry and cool performance detracted rather than emhanced the story.
