About this listen

Brash, cocky, and unbeatable with a sword (well, almost), Sam of Haywood is the most promising Paladin trainee in the kingdom of Thule. The only problem is that Sam is really Lady Samantha, daughter of the 17th duke of Haywood, and if her father has his way, she'll be marrying a Paladin, not becoming one.

But Sam has never held much interest in playing damsel in distress, and so she rescues herself from a lifetime of boredom and matrimonial drudgery. Disguised as a boy, Sam leaves home behind to fight demons - the most dangerous monsters in Thule - alongside the kingdom's elite warriors. Pity that Tristan Lyons, the Paladin assigned to train her, is none other than the hero of her childhood. He hasn't recognized her, but if he does, he'll take away her sword and send her packing. As demons wreak havoc across the land, rebellion stirs in the West, led by a rival faction of warriors. A war between men is coming, and Sam must pick a side. Will saving the kingdom cost her life - or just her heart?

I got bored the first time I listened to this book, I couldn't get into it. But I tried again and managed to stick with it. I enjoy the story, as unoriginal as it is. It was a nice escape from the real world. But the narration lets it down, the woman reading the book feels the need to make a lot of comments Sam makes into really snarky comments, not how I would have read them in print at all.

I enjoy the story, but the narration lets it down

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
For me: a really weak story and I regret the use of a credit. Others may enjoy this book, just not me.

Really got this one wrong

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
This was awful. It never rises above formulaic duff. Very childish and naive.
The narration is terrible. The woman's voice grates.

Terrible.

Avoid
