Very good but a little sloppy

Revisado: 08-06-23

Like many, I came for the books after watching the show. I was very happy to read these, but the writing is not perfect. Maybe due to the translation but the language is average, and the lore references many European fairytales despite being set in an alternate world. Still, the story is nice, and I am glad to have read it.

Unlike anything I have read before.

Revisado: 07-13-23

I admit I have put off this classic because I was intimidated by it, but this fear was unwarranted. I found the language enjoyable and almost funny throughout. The book dropped some sage truths with a unique perspective. I am so glad I finally tried this book. The reader was top tier in this performance and no doubt owns a share of my praise.

completely messed up and amazing

Revisado: 06-20-23

The book is remarkable. The language, although fairly low reading level, is evocative and unique. Many of the stages of the protagonist are subtly relatable, giving a sober meaning to the unrealistic story. Not every assertion of the book is universally accepted but allow an author an opinion. Warning, depressing as all hell.

entertaining and intelligent

Revisado: 06-01-23

the book was intelligent, enjoyable, and helpful. an interesting, sometimes new, perspective. The voice acting for any female voice was bad but not a real issue.

Another great one with an equestrian side

Revisado: 05-04-23

The story was very pleasant and, as always, I love the authors manner of speaking. The equestrian side story was majestic and beautiful. I was very glad to listen to this novel particularly, even amongst the 10 or so I have already heard from Mary Stewart.

another good one from stewart

Revisado: 04-12-23

The story is fine, and the characters are likable, but I keep coming back to Mary Stewart for the language. The reading level is not terribly high, but the common words are used masterfully with a signature that I could recognize without a title page. If you like her you will like this.

great author another winner

Revisado: 01-20-23

This story had some odd elements, but writing style and performance were great, but it was a little hard to take some of the story seriously.

another winner

Revisado: 10-28-22

If you like one Mary Stewart book chances are you like them all. The language is beautiful and yet easy going. The story is much the same as all her books with a new heroine but I love them all so I am not going to say that is a bad thing. The voice actor was perfectly acceptable.

great as always

Revisado: 10-24-22

Most of Mary Stewart's novels are essentially the same story, the merlin series excluded, but I love each one. The heroines are all unique and I love them all. The language is beautiful and sophisticated but the read still feels comfortable. I am pleased with this purchase.
