Good book, but a mediocre point in the series

I write this based on listening to the Abridged version, since there is not unabridged version. But you definitely blow past it pretty quick. The voice acting was acceptable, but not amazing. Previous audio books had superior voice acting with better attention to accents and more imagination.

Altogether, a decent read. But not something I'll listen to again unless blowing through the whole series.

To be determined

Too short was very surprised. I like the story however and will continue the series

Believable

Interactions between protagonist, plot development , having been in the sand there was attention paid to water.

Packed with action.

The narrator read the book perfectly. He brought it to life.

I will look forward to more books from this author.

Great story

Listen to all the other audible books on the series the voice of the Macro and Cato didn't go well with them but I love this series and will read or listen to the rest. Scarrow is the best historical fiction author I have read. This was my least favorite of the series so far but I still loved it.
