Critic reviews

"Morrell, an absolute master of the thriller, plays by his own rules and leaves you dazzled." (Dean Koontz)

Cross combination

did an excellent job in combining the first book brotherhood of the rose with characters from the fraternity of the stone, creating a path for a future novel with both characters combined excellent combination and a masterpiece I thoroughly enjoyed.

Built and described the characters very well, especially the four main ones.

Too many characters going back-and-forth. It was hard to keep track of until about halfway or two 3rds way through the book.

Poor narration

The voice actors had very limited range when playing different characters. Women sound like men and everyone has the same accent, even characters from different countries. All characters had two ranges, monotone or excited and nothing in between. The written story is probably better.

Stay away from Ralph

Can’t say much about what appeared to be an interesting and exciting book since George Ralph is the worst reader I’ve run across and I’ve been listening to recorded books for more than 1/4 century. He really must find a new line of work. It’s shocking that the producers of this book allowed him to continue after listening to him read the first few pages - dreadful.

Slow

Like wading through a bog. Repetitive. The narrator has a limited range of expressions. Increasingly boring as the story progresses.
