Review 1: Book of the Night – The Black Musketeers Book 1 by John K. Druitt
This book is a departure from the author’s Hangman’s Daughter series. While filled with believable characters and set in well researched historical backdrops including the conflict with Swedes and mercenaries, this book veers into magic and sorcerers as well. All in all this introduces a sense of wonder that is more fun than straight history. The protagonists are young, and a few the plot twists are at times either somewhat predictable or slightly implausible, but young adults and mature fantasy readers should all enjoy this book. Looking forward to the next one in this series!
Review 2: Book of the Night – The Black Musketeers Book 1 by Kenneth Kreager
Having been a fan of Oliver Pötzsch since the Hangman’s Daughter series, the Book of the Night was filled with swashbuckling action, die-hard friendship and a dose of sinister evil countered by a white witch. All in all a fun read. The only reason for the one star markdown was Pötzsch’s choice of narrator. Thoroughly American, he was incapable of even a trace of any convincing German accent, including the total butchery of German names and places. He even spoke the German letter ß as a “b” when it is actually a double “s” sound. Made me feel at times that the story took place in the Midwest. So read it; don’t bother with Audible.
Review 3: Book of the Night – The Black Musketeers Book 1 by Lauren
Narration great for children
I chose not to listen to more than a handful of chapters due to the timbre and intonation of the narrator. I’m assuming he is either very new (unlikely for a well-known author’s book) or was reading for young children. The narration has the predictable, over-emphasized tone of a kindly librarian reading a Winnie the Pooh book. Perhaps the story was good, but it is likely intended for much younger audiences.
