Unabridged Audiobook
Excellent book, but not an easy listen as a audiobook. Might be because I'm American, and had to look up many things to understand the English history references. The book is read by the author, and she doesn't have distinct character voices. I often couldn't figure out which character was talking or narrating. Lots of changing time frames and characters in this book, so it's almost impossible to follow as an audiobook without going back to the book. Demands 100% attention, which is hard for driving and listening.
Could not finish this - too many chapters with little continuity. Reader has a nice singing voice but reading, not so much.
i rarely give up on books. but I did in this one. it's lovely sometimes when the author also narrates the book, but this is one situation where it wasn't a good idea. I found her very difficult to follow. also, it didn't feel like a lot of continuity in the storyline and between chapters. I would find myself replaying sections over and over. Eventually I just gave up about a third of the way in. I hate doing this, but I also know there are so many great books out there waiting for me.
