Loved

I really enjoyed this pack it's a little different than what I normally read and had a great flow. Looking forward to listening to the other books in the series I just wanted to take a breakFrom this style story before going deeper into the series.

Loved it

Take a chance I did and really enjoyed it!
I am off to the rest of the story!

A short story told in a long way

I like the premise, there's definitely a path where the main character grows and matures. Even though you may not find the story entirely surprising, it still keeps your attention. I do admit that several battles felt like "didn't we just have that" ? The story seems to have been made much longer than it should be, but the narrator keeps you interested during the repetitions.

It was great but could be much better.

I thought the whole series could have had more world building in general but my biggest gripe overall would be there was not enough set up at all not in anders relationship or with his training. It all just felt sooo rushed. Also the ending was very easy to see coming everything that I thought would happen did and that’s not what I was hoping for in a fantasy world. I felt the magic was very underwhelming and they made anders dragon so weak willled in my opinion she was a wild dragon for most her life but she was sooo shy and timid and always in a great mood with every human. It took me out of the story a little and made her feel more like a pet. The navigator also did a terrible job with her inflections in her voice her mono tone.

I like how elves have a German accent

great book and worth the 22 some odd hours to listen too. 10/10 would recommend.

Great story!

Character development, plotline and performance of kept this moving forward very rapidly. Great book! Get it!

Voices got weird.

The story was mostly good but the narrator's voice choice was a odd. German accents for elves, scottish for human and a sort of caribbean for drawves. I did start to dislike the main character towards the end.

Enchanting!

Fantastic Series, I couldn't
stop listening a really great story!
Narration is a perfect choice!

Great story

Great story, a bit slow moving at points. The person reading, sounded like he had a candy in his mouth most of the time. Definitely worth a listen though.

Absolutely loved these books!!!!

Loved it all!!
Characters, relationships and the world is as a fantasy novel should be.
