Worth Buying All Six...6 out of 5 stars

Narration was masterfully done. Story is Excellent. I hate when publishers break an entire story up. I bought all 6 audios in this Spices Series. So far, I just finished Book 5 & I feel as if I've Learned something new, helpful, and I would not have these lessons learned w/o the series. It pulled me right in. Each ending chapter is, indeed, cliffhanger. Which makes for an incredible adventure..from the heights of society to sailing the high seas to being taken hostage. What else could we want? Clean, Historical, Christian Fiction. 6 out of 5 stars! Great Job to both L. Bonner & this amazing Narrator!

Excellent audio and book

So far, despite the atrocity of the story line, I am captivated by this historical work.

A Good Book For Insomniacs

The story is dull with little substance and has a strange ending. The narrators voice is soft and everybody sounds alike. I think it would be a good audio to play for someone with insomnia; it could lull you to sleep and you wouldn't feel like you had missed anything.

An amazing series . . .

I have listened to the whole series but will only write this one review, because I imagine that once most people listen to this opening part they will continue on to the remaining ones.

The series is beautifully written and deeply moving. It is essentially about the struggles of a young woman in the face of one of humanity’s worst atrocities. Although Christian in orientation, it does not provide pat answers. A beautiful romance is also thread throughout the story.

As far as narration, I am amazed at the work of Mary Sarah Agliotta. In fact I found this series because I had come across my first book so beautifully narrated by her—and just had to listen to her again. After having listened to almost 200 audiobooks, I can say that she and one other narrator (Juliet Stevenson) equally share the space as my top narrator!

loved the story

Mary Sarah is a wonderful author, loved the story. but the marketing has much to be desired.

A book that MIGHT be a good one, Terrible reader

Would you try another book from Lynnette Bonner and/or Mary Sarah Agliotta?

Perhaps the author, but NOT the reader!

What did you like best about this story?

an interesting storyline

Would you be willing to try another one of Mary Sarah Agliotta’s performances?

NO

What would have made this romance irresistible?

A different reader, and a bit less melodrama

Any additional comments?

I'm not sure if the book itself is overly melodramatic, but the way it is read makes it sound horribly so.

Good story but...

This is an enjoyable book, but it is not complete. You have to continue with a new chapter or set of chapters by down loading another section. This creates an inflated cost and is difficult to manage when listening on trips. I hope I never start listening to a book broken up in such a manner again.

Historical Romance

Struggled to finish. Did not enjoy the book. Did not enjoy the style of that time in history.

Getting a fraction of the full story for full price

I am an audible member and used a full credit to buy this book and part two of the series for a second credit thinking, like other series novels, that each would be a complete story. I have listened to both and the actual story has not ended. Each is only a little over 2 hours long (most no else I have bought are over 8 hours long) and just leaves you with no resolution to the story so you feel the need to then go get the next part of the series. I feel like I have been scammed by this, having to spend four times as much for a complete novel-that is if it ends at four books...
The story itself is good, a little flamboyantly written but the plot catches and holds your interest. It's just too bad that I have come away feeling like I was the victim of a scam. Unfortunately, although I would really like to know the outcome of the plot; I refuse to continue to pay more than this book is worth to do so.
