Publisher's summary

Defying the fate that claimed his evil predecessor, Raistlin opens the Portal to the Abyss and passes through. With Crysania at his side, he engages the Queen of Darkness in a battle for the ultimate prize - a seat among the gods.

At the same time, Caramon and Tasslehoff are transported to the future. There they come to understand the consequences of Raistlin’s quest - and Caramon at last realizes the painful sacrifice he must make to prevent his brother’s success. Old friends and strange allies come together to aid him, but Caramon must take the last, greatest step alone. The step into the Abyss.

Great book bad narration.

Love these books, but the guy who narrated this series was horrible.

Constantly mispronounced names and places.

Definitely needs a better narrator

The narrator only does one voice well, that being Tasslehoff's. Otherwise I'd have given him one star. Why didn't they just reuse the narrator from the Chronicles Trilogy (Paul Boehmer)?

Ax almost ruins the great story

Ax has this fake yell that sounds like a five year old trying to whisper and it is awful. He also regularly gets the inflection wrong, stern when it says soft, loud when it said whisper... his performance is terrible.

Not a surprise but didnt care for narrator.

I didn't mind Ax Norman when he was talking normally and I'm sure I'd like him in a different venue. say like biographies or other informational type writings. but without proper background and research, this trilogy was subpar.

Raistlin fights a goddess

I did not care for the narration. He did not understand the characters. The story was decent, though overly strait forward with zero foreshadowing

Great story, narration meh

Again with the narration. So often the tone and voice used doesn't match the emotion in the story. The narrator often uses a matter-of-fact delivery that doesn't work for everything. Not only is he mispronouncing character names, but mispronouncing basic English words: flaccid becomes flassid and he makes waning rhyme with planning. It's all painful to listen to.

The story is, however, amazing and a delight.

Not bad

if ax Norman started the series with this effort I don't think I would have had such a issue with him.


still think the buyer should get the book.

Great book, bad narration

Truly, the best part about being finished with this book is that I never have to listen to Ax Norman’s voice again.

Great story, cringe narration.

Anything Ax Norman narrates should be burned. i love the dragonlance series, but his lack of creativity and emotion with voices pkus the whisper yelling of a playing school child is horrible.
