Ok but could use some audio cleanup

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

All in all, this book was somewhat entertaining. The story was interesting and wasn't just a cookie cutter fantasy story. The narration was ok, but could use some editing and audio cleanup. The audio had a lot of background noise that needs to be cleaned up. The narrator's voice is pleasant, but the audio had a lot of background noise that needs to be cleaned up.

Help

You need a new narrator. The person who did this is terrible. Get someone new.

Great young adult story

The story is without sex and language which is a real plus for young adults, children. Was not so keen on the narrator and at times his voices grated but I stuck with it. I liked the characters and how they all learn to work together despite their mistrust. Good message. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

A different type of dwarf story.

I enjoyed this audio book. It was fun to listen to and not the same old story. The narrator makes this story shine. I received this audio book for free at my request and voluntarily reviewed.

no stakes

the narrator did what he could but the story was terribly bland. At no point is there a feel of real danger and after surviving odds for the 3rd or 4th time, all sense of tension vanishes. Not sure I'll invest in the next books. Got tricked because books about dwarves are so rare and this one still managed to actually being about a human despite being amongst hundred of dwarves!

Very entertaining

This arc was provided via audiobook boom and this is my voluntary review i enjoyed this story of friendship renewal war love lost and found as well as betrayal and loyalty tested. It had all of the elements of a good story and kept me listening until the end. The narrator was good

Loved it

Great book. Enjoyed the narration and story. Waiting for the next book in the series.

Audio is terrible!!!

The meat of the book isn't bad, but the sound quality and narration are attrocious.

Very poor editing & post production

I really tried to give this one a chance, but was a true struggle. Through absolutely no fault of the narrator (he preformed well), the ammature editing and post production hurt this book beyond redemption. The sound quality was inconsistent and poor. Extremely long pauses and breaks between sections and chapters created odd and disruptive cadences. The story was bland and unoriginal. Granted, the fantasy genre has been overpopulated, this story was far too basic and uninspired. Credit to the narrator though, as he did not have much to work with and still brought characters to life in spite of poor post production and editing.
