great

and probably the best narrator there are so many characters in this story and Alessandro gives each one their own voice.

I love it

After wrapping up some of the mysteries from earlier in the series this book winds up wonderfully for the finale.

Exciting to the end.

Loved this book in the series. Especially the ending between Benedict and Brand and Corwin.

good read

enjoyed the performance very much. well written and well read. I am looking forward to the next.

A true masterpiece

If you have never read any Zelanzy then you are depriving yourself of enjoyment of true art. No one has ever written with the style and prose that makes images out of words quite like him. Listening to these masterpieces is just as enjoyable and the pictures come to life in my mind’s eye just as readily. These chronicles are a must read of any true aficionado of excellent prose. Juliani definitely brings voice to these written works. Enjoy. For you may never know true art like this again.
