Great narrator - Poor story

Revisado: 04-19-25

Much similar to the second book of this series it’s very boring but it’s prose is simple enough that it is easily listened to and finished with easy.

Amazing narration and masterful character driven plot

Revisado: 03-13-25

Wonderfully distinct narration. Each character is clearly identifiable and in a character driven story this is priceless. Highly recommended all around

Old narrator voices young boy

Revisado: 03-08-25

Couldn’t get into this at all. Maybe it’s the performance of an old guy narrating a coming of age story or maybe it’s just I bounced off this story hard. Either way it’s very ok story. You’d have to love Viking historical fiction to enjoy it I feel and I’m merely a peruser of the subgenre.

Very good Roman political drama

Revisado: 03-03-25

Keep in mind this is complete fiction based on real people. It’s far from accurate and even it’s broader points feel off.

But this sort should not be measured by that. It’s fiction. Not only that it’s a very good court room drama and political drama. All with a Roman flair that I can imagine laymen will very much find exotic and enjoyable.

There is weird 10-15 second silent gaps in the audiobook book on random occasions. Usually near the end of a the chapter. But the performance of the narrator is great.

Great narrator ok story

Revisado: 03-01-25

The concept of this setting is great but it sort of does nothing with it. Skimming the surface of what could be greatness. Definitely recommended to urban fantasy fans.

Awful lip smacking narration. Ruined it

Revisado: 12-17-24

I can barely focus on the story as I hear the narrator breathing, his tongue moving around, and the smacking of his lips. The story was not interesting enough to survive this awful narrator.

Good story but inconsistent narration

Revisado: 12-11-24

Accent did throw me off and I struggled to figure out who was talking at times. Only certain character has distinct tones

Nothing happens. Again.

Revisado: 11-03-24

Plot points don’t seem to go again. Things are either forgotten about or not resolved. There is an over reliance on slice of life material. There is zero suspense in this spy novel. Like the previous entry in this “second trilogy” it’s just boring. I’m throwing in the towel. I won’t be continuing.

Disappointing. Boring.

Revisado: 11-03-24

Nothing happens. It’s a slice of life book disguised as a spy novel. There is hardly any spycraft in this book. This book isn’t bad it’s just boring. I’m entirely indifferent to it.

Decent history; Awful narrator

Revisado: 01-28-24

The narrators cadence is slow and it wears you down. So much so this is one of my first reviews on this app! He does this breath thing for the first 2/3s of the book - by the end you either can block it out or you have quit listening.

The book itself focuses more on the Anglo Saxon and Danish reign of pre-Norman rule than I would’ve liked but still find it enjoyable. Greater and more in depth examination of the early 12 century would’ve been appreciated.
