A fine and entertaining story

Showed a few interesting history facts and I enjoyed it, however, too many twists to the adventure

Riveting historical fiction

Would you listen to Sacred Treason again? Why?

N/A I don't listen to any audio book more than once

Any additional comments?

The narrator is excellent. Good tone, pacing, accent, and resonance.
If you like historical fiction, you'll definitely like this fast paced, well researched novel. The author's precise command of English evokes vivid, realistic descriptions of setting and plot.

My husband and I only listen to audio books during our long 6 hour trips to visit our daughter. Finding a novel that appeals to our diverse tastes is a challenge! While I found some of the details too gory, albeit true to the times, this novel captured both our interest.

The protagonist

The other books in the series are not available I would like to hear them.
