Amazing.

The story was amazing. The writing was fantastic. The only complaint is if listening not also reading the books, the immense amount of characters might be too much for you.

Master Storyteller of Historical Fiction

I have long been a fan of the books - and have read and re-read several times. The audio book is excellent. It brings new dimensions to the story. The research is impeccable. I will be listening to all of her audio books and hope they keep producing her previous books. Here Be Dragons would be welcome!

I gave up.

Too many characters being introduced. I love novels based in history but I just couldn’t get into this one.
