With this combination of performance and story, this first book in the series can only be rated as high as possible, and invites the listener to order the next one before the first is finished so there is no time spent waiting to continue the adventure. So, with that sound base, Ms Clare has written a thrilling story built around a love story that is realistic and exciting. While McKinnon's rangers are a fictional group, they are accurately patterned after ranger groups that were active on the American frontier during the 17th & 18th century. Having read a number of fiction and non fiction works about this period, I am familiar enough with it to see that Ms Clare has done her homework and brought the truth of the time to the fiction of her story. Obviously in a historical novel, the story must be true to the history. Now to judge the story there are a number of things I look for.

Griffith does an outstanding job with realistic accents and emphasis making his reading truly a performance not just a reading. Performance always contributes so beginning there, I'll say the Mr. There are a number of things that contribute to how well a book can be rated.
