Footsteps in Time: A Time Travel Fantasy (The After Cilmeri Series Book 1) (Audio book Version) Written by: Sarah Woodbury and Narrated by: Laurel SchroederThis was a free audio book from the author, Ms Woodbury ask if I would review.Prior to reading this book I read Daughter of Time: A Time Travel Romance: After Cilmeri, Book 0.5 – this book was about Meg and her daughter Anna that accidentally slips through time and meets up with Llywelyn, the Prince of Wales. This particular book centers on a relationship between Meg and Prince Llewlyn, and just as Meg is about to give birth to their child she pops back to her time.Footsteps in Time starts when 2 teenagers, Anna (age 17) and her brother David (age 14) arrives on December of 1282 and interrupts the murder of Llywelyn ap Gruffydd. As the story progresses David will learn that Llywelyn is his father and somehow no matter what happens to David. There are several incidents when David gets in some tight predicaments including meeting up with Edward – David always comes away unscathed. At some point Anna marries and Meg arrives and marries Llywelyn.Yes, I know this is a fantasy but it got a little ridiculous when David finds the wrecked vehicle that he and Meg arrived back in time with, it has been sitting the for 2 years, it is wrecked but still starts and he is able to drive away loaded with 8 knights.This audio book was narrated Laurel Schroeder. I found her extremely difficult to listen to – she would read a sentence very fast then there would be a looooonnng pause and then she would read another sentence very fast then there would be a looooonnng pause – it was very choppy and irritating.I highly doubt I will continue with this series – I found the time period is one I have no interest in and this particularly series rather childishly written.Sorry the best I can give Ms Woodbury is 1 ½- 2 stars Although this isn't my typical type of book to read, I absolutely loved the characters and the way Meg, Anna and David fell in love with their lives in the 13th century. To watch David become a man and a worthy prince, who brings a touch of the 20th century into the story, made it so entertaining! I only wish there was a little bit of romance in this story. ALthough some of the storyline was fictional, the author discloses this and gives the accurate account of the history of Wales on the prologue. I learned so much while being entertained at the same time. Definitely worth the read!
