Reviews for A Descent Into the Maelstrom

[Love Louicolas · Rating: 1 out of 5 stars]

As a fan of the author I wanted to hear this tale, for me though, the narrators desire for enuciation over understanding what he was reading, was terribly distracting. i thank him for his effort and hope his technique improves.
