Surprisingly Decent
I love Brenda Joyce and saw that this book did not get the best reviews. The storyline was good, and the character development was as well. The story is very different, and very deep, with lots of historical details. I enjoyed that it took place just after the French Revolution, as I have never read a book taking place then. Overall, the plot was good, and I enjoyed the book quite a bit.
I wasn't so sure about the narrator's voice at first. She doesn't make very different voices for each character, but she has a surprisingly soothing voice. She also spoke the accents perfectly. I ended up really liking her style, more than i have while listening to other books. I felt more like someone was reading aloud to me, and I was better able to give them my own "voices" in my head.
This book also kept my attention. I couldn't stop listening to it! A good book, and I am truly surprised by the reviews that suggest otherwise.
Yikes!
No hero or heroine here. Just an unprincipled cad and a really pathetic victim. I have read every single one of Brenda's books and simply refuse to believe that she wrote this! Worse - the narrarator's overly exaggerated characterizations made it sound like a really bad play. The kind you get up and walk out on.
