I will admit that the reason I bought this book was to have Tom Hiddleston whispering in my ear. However, saying that I have listend to this version of the book twice as I actually got really into the characters and the story. There are times when you can tell this this is an abridged version as the story seems to 'jump' and the flow is lost. Characters are well thought out and from what I know about this location and period in history the author has done some good research to place the characters and story in the correct context. I have added the unabridged version of this book and book 2 to my wish list so I can find out what happens next, even if the velvet tones of Mr Hiddleston are not caressing my ears.

Enjoyable

I was really surprised to love this book. I only picked it because it was Tom Hiddleston narrating it. Yet the story is Fabulous. I love it. Tom does a fantastic job with it. His many voices bring it to life. His enthusiasm made me smile. I have listened to it 4 times already.

The lovely smooth voice of Tom Hiddleston really elevates this. Enjoyable enough easy listen though somewhat clichéd.

Silly but enjoyable yarn

I really enjoyed this story Tom Hiddleston did a fantastic job with all the characters voices and you could feel there personalities. you really end up rooting for Yan, tetu and side. I hope Tom narrates the sequel at some point.

easy to listen to again and again.
