This story took place toward the end of the reign of Henry VIII, when Henry Tudor was married to Catherine Parr. Plus, this narrator was so dramatic that I felt like he should have been reading Shakespeare. And those high pitched imitations grate on my nerves. They either sound male, or like a really bad male impersonation of a female voice. Of the ones I have listened to so far, the male narrators just do not have the voice range of females, so all the characters sound the same to me. I am finding that I do not like male narrators because their readings just do not seem as dynamic as those of female narrators. Unfortunately, the narrator absolutely killed the book for me. I picked this title from the Kindle Unlimited selection as it had the audible narration included, and I like to listen while I am out working in the yard on the weekend. Thought I was getting a Scottish romance.
