Falls flat

This book seemed rushed in the writing of it. It fell flat in comparison to the previous books. It made me wonder if anyone edited it. The repetition is irritating. If I had to hear "Ewald's Gift" one more time!! The ending was extremely weak.

Not amazing at all.

This is a decent story line but I’m not sure if it was the lady reading it or the grammar layout that was painful to listen too.

Wonderfull

I love listening to Lesley Parkins reading, a wonderful addition to the story. The story keeps the nerve till the end, and an unexpected twist at the end. I miss a little more ruling by the Queen and some more daily life, but the mysterious and magic is quite believeable.

Finally!

Finally, finally, finally we get some resolution and answers! This was fraught with tension but also I went, finally Gruoch! Take charge and turn your life to what you deserve! This was a highly satisfying ending to the series!

Completely immersive wonderfully written.

As one of the last books in the Highland series this book is as strong and powerfully written as the first. The detail that comes from the historical investigation of the true story of Lady Macbeth interwoven with the story telling that carries you through a powerful depiction. The old religion is respectfully mentioned and the harrowing details of beliefs and realities of lie and death at the time work Into a powerful tapestry of a story.

ls this the end

Really enjoyed this series, l only hope that it is not the end as there are many spin-off that could continue the story. The narrator was excellent, top job and could follow the story from their voices which doesn't always happen. Will not spoil the saga but will say if you enjoy this type of story you will not regret purchasing this series.
