Squire Derel

Knight Protector, Book 1

By: Rachel Ford

Narrated by: Lynne Ennis

In the fires of war and death, she'll make her own destiny.

Ana Derel was never meant to be a knight protector. She was never meant to be a squire. She was supposed to marry well and raise sons who would become knight protectors.

Ana had other plans. After years of hard work, Squire Ana Derel has earned the respect of her peers. She's a crack shot and lethal with a blade. She's weeks away from earning her own knighthood.

Then a deadly ambush leaves her charred, defeated, and wanting justice. With the South readying for war and the North demanding answers, Squire Derel finds herself alone in the epicenter of the coming storm. Alone, until she meets the enigmatic Knight of the Shire. Will their unlikely friendship be enough to prevent a war? Or will war consume them, too?

Lovely

This book was amazing. I enjoyed the adventures, and the characters and their environments were depicted beautifully.

A tough read for me

I had a hard time with this one. The beginning of the book was very uneventful. I had a hard time sticking with it. The ending was better when the dragons finally entered.

Wonderfully done.

A very interesting and exciting story. However it does leave you guessing what happens. As far as the narration goes I was very pleased with the narrator, she done a wonderful job bringing life to the characters. I would recommend this book.

An enjoyable book.

I quickly found myself listening for longer than I had planned. That 'just one more chapter' kept me up longer than I planned. The narrator did a wonderful job giving g voice to each character.

Slow start to an epic dragon-back demolition derby

I will say this was a good story and the only fault I have with it doesn't warrant me giving it a lower score. When listening to audio books I tend to prefer those that grab my attention from the start and keep my mind from wandering off. Unfortunately, because of the need to set the story up properly for the end, I often found my mind wandering for the first couple of chapters. I do feel that if I personally was reading it rather than listening, it would still have received a 5-star rating. I mean how many times does one hear discombobulate in a story and more than once.
