It's been thirteen years since Lucy Sheridan was in Summer River. The last time she visited her aunt Sara there, as a teenager, she'd been sent home suddenly after being dragged out of a wild party - by the guy she had a crush on, just to make it more embarrassing.

Would you consider the audio edition of River Road to be better than the print version?
I have not read the print version, but considering my preference for audio editions of this genre of writing, I'll guess the answer to be a yes.
What about Amanda Leigh Cobb’s performance did you like?
When I read a print copy of any book, I tend to have at the most 3 distinct voices in my head for the main characters - and the rest of the characters tend to have nondescript voices. What Amanda Cobb was able to do with her narration was to give the main characters very distinct voices while, with the subtle use of diction, pause, & even quirkiness, give a lot of the other supporting characters a chance to come alive! This made me pay attention to the "cast" of characters and not just the "stars" of the show! Very nicely done.
Any additional comments?
The combination of the plot style by Krentz and the Amanda Cobb's narration technique, kept me quite engaged in how the whole story would unfold...enough to want to listen to the entire book in one sitting!!!

Viking raiders destroyed Wilda's home. She witnessed the murder of her mother and would have been killed herself if it weren't for the Viking boy Einar, who saved her from his ruthless brother. The blood and murder left Wilda cold and shorn of feeling.

Where does The Viking's Sacrifice rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
In the middle of the pack. The story was beautifully delivered but the story itself could have used more tightening - a lot of repetition of the underlining themes!
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Less repetition of key concepts (it's understandable for a few repetitions to happen, it just felt a little like beaten a dead horse in certain instances!). More conversation between the characters.
What about Amanda Cobb’s performance did you like?
She gave incredible life to the characters and availed each one of them a very unique voice. This latter point is driven home most especially in the parts of the book where dialogue occurs between characters. This for me made an average story a more enjoyable experience because one was able to empatize and
If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Wilda, Run!
