The story is a multi-front narrative that really kept my interest through the entire series. This is worth the credit and the time to listen.
Kevin Pierce is one of the all time great narrators and he really helps bring the story alive.
R E McDermott artfully weaves a story of multiple characters on their own journeys, inter-woven with fore-shadowing and splendid detail. Then wraps it all up together in a great ending that leaves some opening for the possibility of future stories.
