4.7 out of 5 stars from 529 ratings
  • Great story line but…..

    The storyline alone is 5 star worthy. Very interesting plot, multiple characters to follow along with and fall in love with. But I am deducting for two stars. One: the narrator’s voice is annoying. I get that he’s supposed to be an “old man” but it’s forced. But now I’m into the second season I’m used to it. The second and more annoying thing is the author talks for atleast 5-10 minutes after each episode. He acknowledges that this is annoying to some listeners, but still does it into season 2. ... more
