Not so captivating narrator
Sorely disappointed - I was looking forward to the Captivating History, and managed to stick with it up to chapter 5, but couldn’t bring myself to keep listening. The narrator sounds like he just woke up and needs a strong dose of coffee; slow, monotone, doesn’t sound at all like he’s interested in the topic, has an American accent and pronounces Edinburgh as ‘edinberg’.

Intro to Scottish history
Scotland has a fascinating history, and this collection is a well constructed overview. Listening to all three books together was a bit repetitive, but coming back to the same areas of history from different angles did help me to remember important periods in context.
It’s a shame that the narration doesn’t use Scottish pronunciation, though - it was distracting to have American versions of names like Edinburgh and Glasgow inserted.
