Could have been good

Found the writing jerky. The narrator needs a lot of work. Read like this was her first reading. Wanted to quit listening the first hour in but was working and didn't take time to change books. Also I don't feel I should review something I didn't complete. Won't bother with the rest of the series. And will steer clear of Ms Schroeder.

slow down narrator!

What would have made Footsteps in Time: A Time Travel Fantasy better?

There was a lot unexplained, and the story jumped around a lot and was difficult to follow. But as the first of a series, I figure the author will get better as time progesses. However, the narrator made it very hard to listen to. She needs to slow down and relax. She sounds breathless and high-strung, like she's just about to break, and talks WAY too fast. Tried 1/2 speed, and that helped, but that made strange echoes.

What do you think your next listen will be?

How could the performance have been better?

Kudos to Narrator for some hellish welsh but...

Would you recommend Footsteps in Time: A Time Travel Fantasy to your friends? Why or why not?

Interesting story but other than her ability to pronounce so many welsh words.. the narrator was so very flat and NO edits for "he said" "she said"

Do you think Footsteps in Time: A Time Travel Fantasy needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

The author provides the first chapter from second book but... I probably won't be listening for it...

Any additional comments?

Really disliked the "Author's Note" about the real history.... let me pretend it is sci/fi/fiction -- there is no remote possibility that the time travel part could have happened that way... I go INTO the story wanting to believe the alternate history -- don't tell me how it "really happened" ... I really can find out that information myself !!

Narration is not good

The story is creative and interesting way to learn Welsh history. The narrator did nothing to help make the experience enjoyable.

Narration too fast

Frequently the narration is too fast and gives a sense of anxiety even in calm peaceful parts. Story not strong
