John Lee was great!

Great world introduction - I can see it going in multiple directions. Kudos for snagging John Lee to read!

Lovely writing

I enjoyed this book more than I thought I would, this isn’t my usual genre. However, I’m glad I tried something new, with the exception of one thing. I wanted so badly for young Conrad to mature a bit and think for himself. The only thinking thing he did, in my opinion was his attempt at getting even with his adversary Mumford.

The book sailed by giving you a small taste of swashbucklers and the queens wishes to rid her kingdom of evil.

Loved it

I can't wait to get the next book in the series. a really great listen.

Fully listened to it.

I liked the book the characters were neither too smart or too stupid. They acted like how people normally would. World building was nicely paced. overall the story is nothing groundbreaking but the series is off to a decent start with a good balance of questions and focus on a goal.

the narrator was good and production had no obvious problems.

overall I would listen to it again when the series is finished but likely not before that.

Veery good plot line

Well thought out book and has a very good plot line. I enjoy character development more in books with action and this one moves pretty fast. No boring parts to have to force yourself to listen through. I would recommend this book and looking forward to the second book in the series.
