Members Reviews:
Hero becomes the Rogue
For the most part this series has been very entertaining. This is by far the worst of the series so far. The book turned into one big soap opera, with a story line that shows Kydd to act like a spoiled rich teenager. The hero has become the rogue, and his position not only slips with the admiralty but with this reader also. The only saving grace of the book is the performance of Rodska.
Romance
Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
I would only recommend this to fans of the series. You have to listen to it to move the storyline ahead. It was slow moving and pretty boring. The romantic storyline did not seem plausible.
What could Julian Stockwin have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Less high society drama.
What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?
Love stories narrated by Christian Rodska.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
No.
Not the best
More a series of related misadventures than a cohesive novel. Hoping the next one returns to previous form.
A seafaring adventure series jumps the shark
Pseudo spoiler alert. I'd enjoyed the Kydd series up to this point, but this book devolved to a love story with only a smattering of adventure. Kydd is bitten deep by ambition, finds improbable love, throws it (and is career) away at the end for even lees probable love, and gets broken for it. Renzi has become a shell of the enjoyable character he was, still irritatingly in the "will he, won't he" phase with the ever present Cecilia who still manages to Inexplicably climb the social ladder despite having no means, family title or (ahem) husband. Oh yeah, three of the thirteen chapters contain a woefully undeveloped sea tale. This is the book where the author jumps the shark and loses me. There's more books in the series, but I won't waste my time with Kydd's 17th impossible climb from ruin while Renzi and Cecilia continue to play sycophantic fiddles.
Bad Ending
I was very disapointed with the ending! Ruined the whole book for me. Will not listen to anymore of this series.
