Excellent book on the American struggle for Independence

This book is an excellent overview of American history with a background of colonial America up until the ratification of the US constitution. Middlekauf does an excellent job laying out the facts with little insights into each event. It is a throughly researched book that gives enough context to each improper and event during this period of American history. The reader also does an excellent job reading out this book.

The epic conclusion to a fantastic trilogy

First off, Peter Kenny does a fantastic job. He gives life to each character and there are hundreds of characters throughout this trilogy. He’s one of the best for audio books.
The story is also epic. Andrzej Sapkowski is a fantastic Writer. His style is addicting to listen too and he really fills out the world around the characters. He has such a realistic view when writing. Things often don’t work out, which gives every interaction and battle a feeling on not knowing what will happen next. The characters are well written and the conclusion to the series is full of highs and lows.
I highly recommend the Hussite Trilogy and the Witcher novels. David French, Andrzej Sapkowski, Peter Kenny, and all those involved worked very hard and their work payed off. These are some of the best audio books.

Tolkien writes one of the best novels of all time. The adventures of Bilbo is a story that keeps you wanting to hear more. Also Andy Serkis does an excellent job reading this book. This is a great listen and one I will return and listen too.

This book was an intriguing description of apocalyptic Moscow. The story is well written and easy to follow. The main character has many harrowing experiences and has many different philosophical revelations throughout the book. The narration was also spot on. The narrator was able to have different voices for each character and did a great job. Overall a great listen and I look forward to listening to the sequels!

An epic sequel in the Hussite trilogy

This book is riveting. Sapkowski has really outdone himself with the second book in the Hussite trilogy. Lots of intrigue and suspense are bound in this book. The way he describes these events of the 15th century almost makes them believable in this historical fiction novel. The realistic way in which he writes always leaves me guessing or thinking the worst might happen. Great book and Peter Kenny did a fantastic job as usual narrating this book! I highly recommend this book and look forward to the 3rd book!

Great book for those who know already know medieval history

I enjoyed this book especially since it was part of the plus library. But I do feel as most of this book went over my head. I knew a little bit about medieval history and listened with the intent to learn more. This book is focused mainly on major topics and went through details and how this affected the times. This is a good book I can tell, just be warned if you don’t have a large knowledge of medieval history, because this book goes deep.
