Discerning Grace - I listened to the audiobook first, then read the book. I found both interesting, intriguing and immersing. It has been decades since I read a book of this genre that had proper language and almost proper actions for the time period and setting. Grace was a bit too modern with her thoughts and actions, and spot on with her poor decisions at times. I enjoyed the fact that the focus was actually on her learning her ship duties and pulling her weight. The support characters are well developed. The romance was not in the unrealistic, silly style, but rather realistic, slow maturing. Some of Seamus and Grace's thoughts and actions annoyed me but overall the story was time pleasantly spent.

Audiobook: Narrated by Siobhan Waring. Length: 10 hrs 35 mins. I listened while traveling using old school technology, the speaker of my Motorola phone. No Bluetooth or earbuds. The narrator did an excellent job with all the characters, and I enjoyed some of the characters and the story more because of Ms. Waring's performance. She kept the volume easy to hear without having to turn my volume all the way up. Source: My Spotify library. 5*

The Ebook was read too soon after finishing the audiobook but it was still enjoyable but not as much as with Ms. Waring. I could hear her characters instead of giving voice to them myself. Source: My Kindle library. 4*
