    "Great adventure"

    It is a great story that keeps you interested all the way through. As it is broken into two books within theft of swords so it makes it easier to read.

    Story
    "Theft of Swords is a swashbuckeling good listen"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Theft of Swords to be better than the print version?

    I am looking forward to the remaining books in this series. Michael J. Sullivan takes you back in time (or is it forward in time) to a place of mysteries and intrigue filled with talented good good guys and really bad guys. The story moves quickly and is a really good listen. You can escape into another world of challenges and successes. Be very careful that you do not listen to this story while riding on the Interstate. You may just miss your next planned turn off and end up 50 miles or so out of your way.


    What about Tim Gerard Reynolds’s performance did you like?

    Tim Gerard is able to play the different parts so that you are able to see the new character talking no matter the gender or age. He listens well and is easy on the ears.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Could have been an all in one sitting book. I just do not listen to books that way.


    Any additional comments?

    I am looking forward to the next book in the series.

    Story
    "A Modern Day Tolkein!"
    If you could sum up Theft of Swords in three words, what would they be?

    Captivating, thrilling, and adventurous


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    It's difficult to pick only one,but I'll choose the protaganist Hadrian Blackwater, 95% of the time he found the silver lining and he was a hero to the end.


    Have you listened to any of Tim Gerard Reynolds’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    No, this was my first listen and I really enjoy his writing talent.


    Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

    Definitely, but too many hours to pull off that goal.


    Any additional comments?

    Thank you Tim Gerard Reynolds, I hope you will permit Audible to release your final book of the trilogy: HEIR OF NOVRON. I downloaded it to my Kindle, but I look forward to the audio version. The narrator does a teriffic job.

    "Unique and enjoyable medieval adventures of theft"

    Unique and enjoyable medieval adventures of theft and swordplay with the hope of more wizardry to come. The reading was excellent and the story wrapped up most loose ends with intelligence and justice. Nice to share in the adventures of a couple of hero rogues and there is no fault with the reading/acting.

    "Another Gem author signed by Orbit!"

    This first installment is a HUGE throwback to a more fun and relaxed storytelling method. This is not to say that there isn't sufficient drama, darkness and excitement. I am just saying that this story is brought about in such a way as to be equal parts slap-stick partners meets classic fantasy. It is a VERY enjoyable listen with a talented narrator. Kudos to MJS and I CANNOT wait to hear more!

    This book is an amazing story. Love the good guys and hate the bad guy with a twinge of romance.

    No - but I will certainly look now.

    "Innovative? No. A great deal of fun? Certainly!"
    What made the experience of listening to Theft of Swords the most enjoyable?

    There were times withing this book I found myself saying "this series hits every fantasy cliche ever conceived and... I just don't care!". If you are in the mood for pure swashbuckling fun in a deep, fully realized world, or you're looking for a palate cleanzier after a George R. R. Martin/Joe Abercrombie marathon, then series would make a fine addition to your library.
