This was a fun historical retelling with a reimagining, or extra storyline added to the musketeers of history. It made me dig into some French history comparing what time period this was based on what I knew from other stories. So that is a positive. The audio was a neat way to read/listen to this story for sure, because the narrator did do a great French accent and pronounced the French words very well. However at times the accent/pronunciation did get me confused as I listened because sometimes the words sounded close and if I’d been reading the print book I wouldn’t have been confused. It was mostly having to do with the names of people. The narrator did also leave big pauses between parts of a conversation, but then no pause at all often at where I know there had to have been a space or something in the book to represent a new section/scene beginning. Otherwise it was a great story! I received a hardback copy from the publisher to read for the library book award committee I’m on, but I ended up fitting in the audio version from my public library in the end.
