Esta reseña ha sido escrita para Sorteo de miembros LibraryThing.
This story is about Anwen and Kaeso, two people who are now enemies, but have memories as lovers in a previous life. Anwen is a pirate who crosses paths with Kaeso, and has every intention of killing him when she finds him on a ship that she has taken over, but keeps having memories of the life she lived in the past and this man being her one true love. Instead of killing him like she originally intended, she not only saves his life, but also unleashes the love that they once knew.

This book is very well-written with strong characters and great descriptions; however, it wasn't my type of story.

(english review at the end)

Dette var et hyggelig dykk inn i romantikkens verden
en verden jeg sjeldent besøker.
Fortellerstemmen til Dennis Kleinmann er behagelig med et hint av skotsk, men likevel lett å fatte. Jeg satte opp tempoet på stemmen litt etterhvert og fulgte setningene bedre etterpå.
Jeg likte hovedpersonene Bethoc og Malcolm. Historien er enkel, men likevel uforutsigbar.
Historien er spennende, men den fenget aldri. Kampscenene og hverdagslivet beskrives litt tynt. Og Bethocs sterke følelser har gjerne for lite bakgrunn til å fenge ordentlig. Malcom som er like viktig i boken, er like tynt beskrevet.
Denne boken fungerer godt, men jeg skulle ønske den gikk dypere inn i hver person og situasjon, gjerne fra flere sider. Jeg savner bakgrunnshistorier fra Bethocs liv og familie.
Hist og her er det ting som ikke passer: Rom som står ubrukt i årevis; Jarler som regerer blant pictene. Små ting som ikke berører kjernen av historien og som kunne ha blitt utbrodert og endret til det bedre.

Dette var min første lydbok, og jeg brukte noe tid i begynnelsen på å lære meg å lytte. Det må jeg øve enda mer på.

Jeg mottok denne Audible lydboka gjennom LibraryThings "Member Giveaways" progam fra forfatteren Cornelia Amiri og ønsker å dele min mening med denne anmeldelsen.

The Scottish Selkie
A novel by: Cornelia Amiri
Narrated by: Dennis Kleinmann
Audible edition (Audible.com, 2013-10-21) 2. edition lenght 05'47''16sekunder

This was a pleasant dive into the world of Romance
a world I seldom visit.
The narrator voice of Dennis Kleinmann are comfortable with a weak scottish lilt, but still easy to grasp. After a while I sped up the voice a little and followed the sentences better after that.
I liked the protagonists Bethoc and Malcolm. The story is simple, yet unpredictable.
The plot is nice, but the story never grasped my attention.
I found the scenes of battle and daily life scantily described. And the strong emotions of Bethoc has to little tapestry to carry my whole-hearted attention. Malcom are as imortant and as scantily fleshed out.
This novel works out well, but I'd wish it fleshed out the characters and scenes a little more in detail and pespective. I miss some background stories of Bethocs life and family.
Here and there Malappropos intrude: Rooms unused for years, Earls leding the Picts. Small tings that don't touch upon the core of the story, which could have been be and embroided upon and changed to the better.

This is the first time i've tried to listen through a novel. A new experience and I spent some early chapters learning to pay attention to the narrator. I will need to practise my listening skills more.

I received this Audible book through the LibraryThing "Member Giveaway"s program gifted by the author Cornelia Amiri, and wish to share this honest review and hold true to the gifting terms and myself.
