That writing is so ponderous I feel I'm jogging in wet concrete. ***

[@Brice23]

It does seem somewhat tangential at times. Constant effort to keep the flow of perception in line. I am sure that reading the book is far less of a chore in this particular case than is the experience of listening to someone else read it at their own pace and rhythm.

[@escapefelicity2913]

[1] reading is not an option because my eyesight is gone *** [2] I'm talking about the WRITING [RTFM] *******

[@Brice23]

@@escapefelicity2913 I apologize, I was commenting on how the style seems overly tangential. The way in which the author brings his points together seems an attempt at circumspection but it can make the story less interesting in terms of the rhythm of the information being imparted on the audience. For instance if I started off talking about the person who invented scissors and razors, the year, his education, his background, just to explain that I went and got a haircut and a shave at the barber. That is all I was getting at, and culminating with the observation that with such a style the pacing and rhythm of the specific reader could go far to engage with that style such that the reader could take in details at their own pace and stop in reflection of their thoughts before continuing on. Anyhow, I wasn’t trying to give you advice. I was merely making my own observations. I was not entirely convinced that I understood your point of view, I was merely describing mine as well, hoping that it made a bit of sense.

I like viking ships and man-o-wars.

Tip to the guy with the mic inside his mouth, you might want to remove it...

[@4FYTfa8EjYHNXjChe8xs7xmC5pNEtz]

It's kind of hard to get into a swashbuckling sea story when the narrator is a chipper 15 year old girl. Other than that, excellent book.

[@ami2evil]

Better than the drooling mouth breather...

[@SteveShivik]

@@ami2evil who you?

[@anglosaxonbreed]

Bad readers spoil these stories worst I ever heard. Sorry not for me. Very poor

[@crossTempl]

Let me gess no defeats of the english by the dutch will be told

[@jackjosh1981]

😂 😂 Nope

[@Ein_Kunde_]

False. The rowers in warships were neither slaves nor amateurs. They were paid professionals - essentially rowing-mercenaries.

Pahlisodays. PALISADES. These readers are disgraceful

avoid chapter 6 part 3....reader close to mike , sounds like he's licking it....disgusting

[@jamesewanchook2276]

a woman robot omg... !

[@disgruntledpedant2755]

Terrible. Pauses every few words, regardless of punctuation.

[@ami2evil]

I know, it's ridiculous how some of these readers have a mouth full of goo...

[@pnayeri]

Historically very inaccurate! Persian did not have slaves! Cyrus the great had long abolished and outlawed slavery! However the Greeks did have, buy and sell slaves at the time!

[@bradmiller7486]

Also, the Egyptians SUCKED at sea. Not pirates, not exploreres, and only long-disrance trade in their own hulls was down coasr of East Africa.

[@crossTempl]

A great topic really ? with a womans voice bummer
