Good story, fair story teller

Caesar's story is compelling. The narrator is a little stiff, the pronunciation of names sounds contrived.

Wow!

What did you love best about Emperor?

A complete package, but this narrator is excellent! Obviously classically trained, he manages all voices most expertly. The story is good, and it must be remembered this is fiction. Die hard historians should look elsewhere.

What does Paul Blake bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

The best narrator I have listened to so far. I will take notice of any other work he takes on.

Any additional comments?

Again, this is fiction. I love "true" Roman history as much as the next person, so I had to remind myself those times the story wandered from actual events.

Great author, bad narrator

This book was difficult to put down, even with a narrator that mispronounced names and made some parts difficult to follow.

Very historically accurate

It's just like you were there. Everything is very vividly explained and you'll enjoy every minute of it.

~ I've listened to over 60 Audiobooks and this one is one of my favorites.

Narrator ruins the story

Kicker-o is how Cicero is said by the narrator. This is one example of many that distracts from the story.

Emperor Series

Easy and exciting listening. Five years ago I read the series and now find myself listening to the story with the same level of interest. The reader's outstanding performance adds an additional dimension to the overall experience.

So brilliant, that it saddened

Would you listen to EMPEROR: The Gods of War, Book 4 (Unabridged) again? Why?

No

Who was your favorite character and why?

Marcus, Julius,octavian

What does Paul Blake bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

His accent was much different from the previous narrator and his prounciation gave me a new different perspective to the names like Cabrera Gaditicus

If you could take any character from EMPEROR: The Gods of War, Book 4 (Unabridged) out to dinner, who would it be and why?

Marcus, I was sad to realize that he will betray Julius and try talk him out of it...Julius could have achieved much more if he was on the side...or may take Julius to talk him to treat and appease Marcus as much he swayed the people.

Any additional comments?

Looking forward to get my credits renewed tomorrow to get the next book...
