I like Enjoyed Every Minute of This Book

I loved this book overall. I loved the reader, she performed each character well. This book held my attention from start to finish.

To long

The story was decent, but it could have been 3 hours shorter. I enjoy long books but they have to keep me interested. I give this story a C+. I would say consolation is needed.

Loved it!

Loved it! It kept my imagination's attention. Being Haitian, I enjoyed hearing the Haitian Kreyol language. Bravo!

I was very disappointed with a book that had so much potential to be great. Especially the ending, which left me seriously wondering and sad.
Narration was very good!

Great story!

Powerful! I devoured it! Stayed up all night listening! Though the novel jumps from the past to the present and tells the story of four powerful and compelling women, I found it easy to follow. The story is a mixture of magic, fantasy, and history. It kept me interested and entertained. Great narration! Highly recommend!
