Critiques

the pagan's cup


(4 stars)

Not Hume's best, but entertaining. Hume has this bad habit of furnishing false leads as if they were true. He also brings in solutions with no foundation. After a couple of chapters I got used to the accent and meter. There is more to reading a story than pronouncing words.

a twisted plot


(4 stars)

all comes right in the end. Reader’s tone is a bit flat and expressionless, but he did a decent job.
