Very good, but way too much swearing for me

Revisado: 04-04-25

The story is a weaving of many points of view leading to full understanding of a war crime and the capture of the criminal many years later. It is well written, compelling and easy to follow despite the many POV (narrator was excellent). The profanity was difficult for me and multiple times I nearly stopped listening for that reason.

Better even than The Winter’s Sea

Revisado: 03-06-25

Bought the day it came on market…I’m a fan of Susanna’s books and Winter’s Sea til now has been my favorite… now it’s my second. I couldn’t stop listening without craving to go back to it. Love the 1600’s English and Scottish history merging seamlessly with plot.

So glad it is on Audible

Revisado: 02-14-25

I remember buying the books in this series the minute they were released back in the 90's. The story remains fresh and fascinating, The audio is straight from the CD's that came out back then, but now in a more usable format. Thank you for releasing this book again!

Mostly loved it…

Revisado: 12-08-24

It’s a feel good book… a kid with no hope for a better life than the dysfunctional family he came from… and how he overcomes it.
It would be 5 star book for me but several characters use intensely profane language. I get it fits the character but it bothered me a lot.

So many F bombs

Revisado: 07-31-24

This to me felt like a young teen fiction but with content I wouldn’t want my kid hearing or imagining . The love and loyalty of a robot nanny with AI, for the child he has watched over for 8 years is touching. The first part of book has the profanity, the rest of the book has non-stop violence.

Interesting Book

Revisado: 07-27-24

I loved what I learned about deaf culture, my knowledge was woefully lacking. I struggled with the profanity, casual sex and a plot that tried to cover too many disparate issues at same time. My personal peeve was that a pressure cooker is not a crockpot nor an instapot but seemed used interchangeably. I was surprised when it was over with too many loose ends hanging. I kept reading because of what I was learning about issues re: deaf culture, schooling, implants…

29 hours and didn’t want to stop

Revisado: 09-26-23

So impressed with this expansive book and the families and intertwining lives. Didn’t want it to end cause I felt like I was right in their homes and loved them.

Two part book…

Revisado: 05-03-23

The first part is a messy bunch of names, relationship, beatings and contract killings. I strongly didn’t like it… but when the court processes for Hurricane Camilla and the action made more sense probably last half of book was enjoyable.

Bait and switch...

Revisado: 04-13-23

Not an action adventure or fictional pirates as listed. It is a girl’s adaptation to the world’s climate change… it includes lots of apocalyptic losses... from family, people to home, to food and safety. Throw in a muted, magical, prepper world with lyrical writing. I read a lot of it... but gave up in the end... it just wasn't for me.

Couldn’t suspend disbelief... or find out why

Revisado: 04-11-23

I love John Grisham books… this one however is an improbable mess. You hang on just to find out... why? From his war experiences in Bataan (he gets to experience nearly every Japanese POW possible scenario) it felt like a school lesson rather than novel. I held on to find out the cause of the murde and such a disappointment. No satisfaction after long, long read. I reread the end multiple times to see what I missed.
