review 1: Audio Version: Story - 5, Narration - 5This was a fantastic story! I must admit, it took me about 30 minutes to completely get into it but once I did, I was hooked. I listened in less than a day. I absolutely loved the chemistry between the hero and heroine. Their love is so beautiful and though it progresses quickly it is genuine. Sean de Lara is a most gallant and honorable hero, one to go down in history IMO. There’s much more to him than meets the eye. Sheridan is a marvelous heroine, smart, head-strong but not an overbearing harpy. Although there is an annoyance in residence and it goes by the name of Alice but even she is strangely endearing. There is plenty of action and tension due to the political nature of the plot. It’s pretty intense, I was on pins and need... moreles; both nerves and anticipation!The narrator, Brad Wills does this story much justice. This is not my first time listening to Mr. Wills but I was still blown away as if this were my first time hearing him. His voice was MADE for Medieval narration! The tones and voices were on point, I was easily able to distinguish characters and emotion. He nailed all of the different characters. I found King John to be harsh, childish and petty; his character was not favorable to say the least. As a result the narrator made his voice whiney and with a lisp, it was great! I hated the character but I thought this was his best narration as it conveyed the characters personality perfectly.I can’t say enough about this book. Is it worth the credit? No, it’s worth two! I loved it so much I’ve purchased another KLV audio book, Guardian of Darkness which is also narrated by Brad Wills (I can’t get enough of this guy!). This is well worth your time and credit. This is now one of my favorites. Don’t miss out on this one!
review 2: Story about the oppressive, debauchery reign of King John which lead to the signing of Magna Carta. Most ofthe characters are real-life historical figures like the Earl of Pemberly, Joceline, and of course the King. Promising enough however,Lord of the shadows started out pretty-well. I though at first the prose was beautiful and because I've been aticipating it for a whole week, I started reading out loud the first couple of pages. In truth, I am obtuse enough that I may not have noticed what followed if not for a stupid yonger sister's follies pushing the stupidest stunts in my face. Then the dialogues started going downhill too and because I was reluctantly forced to witness such stupidity I became sensitive to more silliness. The first jumping out of the window scene is enough and couldbe amusing if it wasn't followed by more childish, stupid stunts. The rest tha followed focus more on the romance and more silly couple dialogues and polics andstrategy go downhill from there. less
