Drow are the coolest

Great dive into Drow culture and very fast moving and intriguing plot. Definitely using it for inspiration for me DnD campaign.

Elementary my dear drow.

Seemed more like a Sherlock Holmes story than about the workings of the Drow. i kept picturing a Drow with a magnifying glass and one of those funny looking hats. it's weird for Drow to have British accents.

Rosalyn Landor really brings this series to life!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Absolutely. My favorite thing about it is the voice acting. Rosalyn Landor's narration sounded odd at first. The pronunciation of some words and phrases were strange, but I soon got comfortable with it and found that it actually enhanced the feel of the setting and the culture of the drow. She is also exceptionally great at making each character sound distinct, without resorting to outlandish accents. She does both male and female voices well. I can't stress enough how the subtlety of her voices really enhances the listening experience. On top of an already fascinating story, this audiobook series is a must-have for R.A. Salvatore fans, as well as other sci-fi/fantasy lovers.

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

Not quite. I can't listen to audiobooks for much longer than 2-4 hours at a time. I get restless and lose concentration. This series really pushed the bounds of that though. I felt entranced by the story and character interactions.
