Monroe is a strong storyteller.  She spins a tale that is easy to engage in.  I think the narration could be improved so that it is more consistent.  It sounded like narrator changed in this book for individual characters.  Also, sometimes the accent was "off." Though this series is historical some of the content didn't fit the era. Great story though.
