Reseñas de la Crítica

Wonderful historical fiction! Excellent read! - Diana Gabaldon

Suspenseful

Not knowing the history of our beloved, Alex, this puts it all in perspective. Brilliantly written and read. Anticipating part 2 coming available on audible .

Brannan does it again!!

Wonderful story. Julia Brannan is a fabulous writer and an equally fabulous storyteller. I have loved getting to know Alex (& Duncan and Angus etc etc) in his childhood and youth, prior to Mask of Duplicity and The Jacobite Chronicles. Amazing characters and deep emotional engagement. The narrator’s were all top notch. Historical detail was brilliant as always. I am a Julia Brannan devotee. What a talent!

Well developed characters.

I’ve listened to all of the books in this series and highly recommend them. The characters are well developed and writing makes you feel as though you are there in history. I’m eagerly awaiting part two of this book. I must also say, the narration by Will Watt is excellent. I can’t imagine anyone doing a better job, he’s really talented.

Great historical novel …. Jacobite Series 💕

The depth of the tale, the history and love the development of the characters. Love the journey of Alex through college education and society education.

Wonderful work

Both the book & narration are great. Even after the 3rd listen. Would love to see these books as movies.

Masterpiece

This is another Masterpiece from Julia Brannan! I didn’t want the book to end. The narrators were fantastic, especially Will M. Watt. I can’t wait for the next book.

Relationships

I love everything except that I have to wait for part 2. best series ever.

Wonderful!

A great part of a huge story. Fills in much of Anthony's wonderful story, can't wait for Part 2! As always, the narration is perfect. it is amazing how many distinct voices Will Watt can do

Excellent Historical Fiction

Julia continues her brilliant writing and research with The Baronet’s Tale Anthony I. She gifts her readers with new adventures, as Alex studies abroad and becomes a man. The friends he makes along the way are splendidly written. I always learn so much in reading all of Julia’s books! Looking forward to Anthony II.

Enthralled

I am a huge fan of Julia Brannan. All of Julia’s novels are so well written with character depth and great historical research woven into her compelling stories. The audio version is narration perfection and delivered by my top favorite narrators. In fact, I was introduced to JB’s books when MJW narrated “A Whore’s Tale.” Excited for part 2 and more from Julia Brannan. Part 1 was an exceptional read and I love that Julia is doing individual novels of the main characters in her series.
