But sometimes the same narrator for one book can be really good for a different book, so I try to give them the benefit of the doubt. :)starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-47566363841016201382012-06-20T20:24:31.770-05:002012-06-20T20:24:31.770-05:00Really great review!

Maybe if my TBR pile gets smaller I'll pick up a copy. But for now I have a lot of "great" books to fill my time :DAshleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03490794166647799624noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-7130861651803344902012-06-20T12:06:25.612-05:002012-06-20T12:06:25.612-05:00I don't usually listen to audiobooks cause i f...I don't usually listen to audiobooks cause i find the voices less than appealing but maybe one day. Anyways, i like your review. very thorough, the book does have an alluring cover and i've heard a lot of people going on about the plot but sometimes when you have a lot of expectations you tend to get disappointed. I hope i read this with my cup empty and not expecting too much.Shane @ItchingforBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299725578226281943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-42777296774940607962012-06-19T15:02:48.990-05:002012-06-19T15:02:48.990-05:00I generally like historical fiction, but I prefer ...I generally like historical fiction, but I prefer it with at least a smidge of fantasy for sure. The truth is rarely as pretty as what we imagine, and I'm less likely to pick up something based mostly in truth. Guess I should have researched this one a little better, and I might have liked it more if I'd known what I was getting into.starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-4627389659287795102012-06-19T14:59:31.494-05:002012-06-19T14:59:31.494-05:00It sure wasn't!It sure wasn't!starryeyedjenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15841350560201331032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-15806047403089238962012-06-19T13:51:54.480-05:002012-06-19T13:51:54.480-05:00I don't know what it is about historical ficti...I don't know what it is about historical fictions, because I usually end up liking them when I <i>do</i> read them, but it seems like I always have to be somehow forced into reading the damn things (unless they're historical fantasies, in which case I'm all about it). <br /><br />Maybe it's like you said and I just can't get excited about the sad truths involved in some of these stories, even though I appreciate them <i>after</i> reading it. So I'm not sure that I'll ever pick this one up without being nudged into it, even though it sounds like it might be pretty good. In a sad, but honest way.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09040331919135317537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2773985780576975329.post-84499114717895563482012-06-19T12:36:53.202-05:002012-06-19T12:36:53.202-05:00tnx 4 the review
