The storyline was well written but the narrator was difficult to focus on and had a limited repertoire of character voices.

Enjoyed!

One of Walter John Williams, best books in my opinion, beautifully written, and the audiobook is a delight to listen to

Great story

More magical than I would choose but anchored in a plausible context. The writing is fluid and effortless, which I haven’t experienced with other books so far by the author. The narration was also the best that I’ve heard from this particular narrator.
Altogether, very enjoyable.
