What made the experience of listening to The Seal the most enjoyable?
It was so well written and narrated. The story was enlightening. I had no idea about the struggles of the Templars and the machinations of state and church against them.
Who was your favorite character and why?
I loved the old woman.
What about James Gillies’s performance did you like?
James Gillies made the beautiful prose shine. He captured my attention throughout and had me sitting on the edge of my seat with suspense.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
This was a serious book, but there were lighthearted moments with the character Iterius - crafty but stupid as he was. I was moved to tears in the chapters - Castle on the Mountain and Round Room.
Any additional comments?
I highly recommend this book for those who enjoy history and who would like to immerse themselves in a political thriller set in very tempestuous times. I think everyone should know about the plight of the Templars, then they would understand why our world is in such a state today because through Phillip le Bel the banks became the property of the greedy and they still are.
I loved this book and will listen to it again.
