Reviews for A Promise Given

[Sharon Wood · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

It was a little slow and predictable but I love the narrator so it made a good listen

[Helen L · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

My favourite part of the book was listening to Annie Aldington narrating it. This particular one, I found a bit frustrating, it did drag on in some places, and I felt a sense of frustration. However anything negative at all is dissolved when you have Annie Aldington narrating your audiobooks.
