A Soldier’s Vow has a little bit of everything from finding
love from afar, jealousy, pain, sorrow, death, fun, at times humor, love, lose,
starting over, sadness as the author spins a story of fighting, dying and the
pain it brings with it. You will have your heart ripped out only to have it
thrown back at you as you turn the pages waiting to see what twist the author
gives you next. I really enjoyed the story and thought the plot was wonderful. This
is one story you will not be able to get through without it touching your heart
and soul from so many different angles.
Ms. Kahn really needs to get some type of filter. Her
narration is wonderful but there is a bad echo throughout the audio. Her character
voices are great, she puts emotion in her audio’s. Her voices are very pleasant
from her normal voice to her character voices. Her male voices are wonderful,
her children voices are a delight and her women ones are delightful. There is
no background noise but for the echo. There are a few places where she repeats
wording. The volume stays the same throughout. You always know who is talking
and what they are feeling. I really had no trouble picturing the scenes from
the battles to the love these two share as well as the pain from the lose of
friends and love ones. I did very much enjoy the audio and most likely will
listen to it again. The narrator must really work on her sound system and get
rid of the echo which does take away from it.
Winnie decided to do what she loved best and went to Paris
to do her part by sharing pictures of the war from the good and bad side. Being
a woman in this time period it was hard for a woman to take on a job such as
this. They didn’t want her near the front line. Over time she got what she
wanted and met the love of her life. This is a very hard time for her setting
on pins and needles waiting to see if Henry would make it out alive so they can
start their family and love each other until the end of time.
Henry wasn’t very nice at first but overtime he came to
understand what drove Winnie. He has lost so many friends. Winnie was good for
him in her he found a soul mate that really pulled him out and took away the
nightmares of the things he saw. She might not have been there in body but her
soul got him through some very tough times.
There are so many wonderful characters and some not so nice.
The author gives you a well blended mixture of drama, happiness, sorrow and
pain as she pulls you in with her humor. There will come a time when you will
just want to cry at the injustice done to this couple from those around them.
To really tell any part of this story would give too much of the plot away. I
promise you will be very entertained but you best have a tissue ready just in
case you need it. My heart broke and
went out to this couple more than once. I did laugh with them as I wrapped my
heart around their soul trying to bring them peace. What a wonderful story that
really pulls you in. I had trouble putting it down. It is well written with
such passion. I am really looking forward to reading more of her work.
