Sequel to The Laughing Cavalier, The First Sir Percy picks up the cavalier’s story three months later. The second novel in Baroness Orczy’s swashbuckling series, this one set in the Netherlands, contains all the same adventurous elements as the novels that follow. Percy Blake, who calls himself Diogenes, is the Scarlet Pimpernel’s worthy ancestor. - Summary by Winnifred Assmann

Reseñas


(2.5 estrellas)

The book itself was not as good as the previous one in the series, being focused more on lies and treachery than on the hero and heroine. That, along with the pronunciation mistakes and inconsistencies of the readers, made it sometimes difficult to follow, making for an unsatisfactory listen.

Sorry

I feel awful giving this review. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings, but most of the readers of this book were difficult to listen to. A couple barely took a breath, and most read in a monotone that caused me to fast forward through it.

mixed bag of narrators
