"Love the story"
I really enjoyed this story. However, because Audible started with the second book in this series, I think there were some things in this book that I did not fully understand. Clearly there were some relationships and issues that required context from the previous book to grasp. Still, it was a great story and I hope we get more.
"Very entertaining & well narrated"
I hadn't read/listened to a Geoffrey Knight book before, but loved The Riddle of the Sands. An exciting story, well developed characters, and first class narration.
"Terribly Read"
Not really a waste of my time, but certainly not time well spent!! It was poorly read, Poorly edited, and had way too many gratuitous sex scenes. The villains in the story are best described as
Less gratuitous sex!!! better editing!!!
Dry!!! But the worst is that the audio track was poorly edited. There were a surprising number of long pauses, repeated words, and repeated sentences. All things that you would expect to hear during a live performance, but also expect to be edited out of the recording. I doubt that Isaiah had anything to do with the editing so I will just leave his performance as Dry!!!
I suppose it was worth the time but just barely.
