Reseñas de la Crítica

"Paxson's bright fusion of fact and myth is a fine tribute to Bradley and the real-world triumphs and tragedy of Boudica." ( Publishers Weekly)

annoying narration

not my favorite dull over descriptive in some areas maybe would've been better with better narration

Excellent Story!

I very much enjoyed the story. It has made me want to research the actual historical figure of Boudica. I found the narrator's voice to be a bit grating at times although the performance was good.

The reader was so distracting

Just so terrible! Who thought American accents was a good idea? I am so disappointed to end the series on a sour note.

Great book

Best read as the second book in the series. Good start and carries one to want more. Wish I had read the series in order.

Disappointing due to narrator

The change of narrators was significant & disturbing.

It would have been easier to deal with if the narrator had a British, Welsh, or Scottish accent, not a nasally American sounding voice. In my own opinion, it took away from the story & I found myself feeling annoyed & wishing I’d have sampled it first, or at the very least read some of the reviews, I didn’t consider they would change to an American narrator, had I anticipated & listened to a sample first, I would have got the ebook instead. I will be trying to return the title. If I can’t, I’ll slog through it but will get the final book as an ebook. I don’t know how narrators are chosen, but this one was a really bad decision.
