Another good story

I am so enjoying these fantastic stories. David Tenant’s performance is great. Production on speaking volume could be better, but still outstanding. Lots of laughing and smiling.

Loved the story

I’ve loved the movies for a long time and never got around to reading the books. This has been fun and having David read has made it even more so.

Tennant does not disappoint

Narrator David Tennant makes an already terrific story even better. Cressida knows how to write a Viking tale, and this book is as good as the first.
