Wow! This is one epic book. It is such a great mix of Fantasy and Historical Fiction. It does start off a little slow but picks up pretty fast. Clarke's footnotes alone could be made into a book of short stories. My only complaint is how long it is. I feel like she could have made this into 3 separate books. I listened to this as well as reading the hardcover. Simon Prebble does a great job narrating with different voices for all of the different characters found within this massive book. If you have the time, it's a must read/listen
