Fun Historical Adventure with Great Narration

I really liked this book when I read it so I decided to listen to the audio version and it did not disappoint! The narrator was sooo good and made the story even more fun to listen to. The writing was witty and clever, and the storyline kept me interested the whole way through. It’s a shorter read, kind of like a novella, but it still felt satisfying while leaving me excited to see what else this author comes out with.
