Performance :(

the reader's performance almost completely distracted me from the story, sounding robotic at times, the female roles were almost comically bad

Couldn’t get past chapter 1

There was absolutely no feeling. It was almost like someone was reading a text book. Not sure if the story was better but couldn’t concentrate due to narrator. Discontinued book

Narrator Unbearable

It might be just because it's an older work, but the writing style isn't very good by modern standards. I didn't make it very far, due to the narrator.

Worst Narration Ever!

Could not finish...the narrator was the reason why. Authors should run from this narrator if you want you book listened to.

slow story, but interesting history

I listened to this entire book while traveling 18 hours across the Country. it was good company on the drive and gives different perspectives on people living in times of knights.
