Publisher's summary

Don't miss the gripping conclusion to Salvatore's New York Times best-selling Transitions trilogy!

When the Spellplague ravages Faerûn, Drizzt and his companions are caught in the chaos. Seeking out the help of the priest Cadderly—the hero of the recently reissued series The Cleric Quintet—Drizzt finds himself facing his most powerful and elusive foe, the twisted Crenshinibon, the demonic crystal shard he believed had been destroyed years ago.

Horrible narator ruined an awesome trilogy

Would you try another book from R. A. Salvatore and/or Mark Bramhall?

By R.A. Salvatore yes, by Mark Bramhall no

Who was your favorite character and why?

Drizzt

What didn’t you like about Mark Bramhall’s performance?

the naration was just horrible, the pronunciation of things just sounded like it was being done horribly wrong to be sarcastic.

Any additional comments?

This whole trilogy needs to be re done with Victore Bevine and I will gladly rebuy em all.

Bring back Victor B

Dude has a good voice and all, but my teeth grate every time he pronounces words. It's Pickle Bouldershoulder, not Pie-kell... djsidjsisksjjxbedhsjxhfuudneb ex zkej

ugh...

OK, sometime narrator change is needed but after more than a dozen books in WHY change the friggin pronunciation of several names? Weak character voices as bad as it is and name changing is too much. I haven't seen it in print so idk if it is spelled pickel or pikel, but this reader has destroyed what one of my favorite side story characters.

Narrated

I cannot stand the guys voice, I get that he wants to put his own spin on things. No excuse for pronouncing Pickle wrong.

Narrator

Bramhall is one of the worst readers I've heard he has no change to his tone during a fight or as any thing comes to pass In the book. He Diminishes the writing and the flow of the book

Narrator needed to do his homework

Again, I complain about the narrators lack of researching before taking on this trilogy. It is hard to enjoy a work when, with every other word, you are either rolling your eyes at pronunciations or mocking them. I am sad to say that I am glad this trilogy is over so that I can continue with the previous narrator in the upcoming books. The stories are fine but when worm is pronounced werm it gets agitating!!

Good, but still not Victor Bevine.

Finally on this last book in the series, I finally got used to the new narrator for the series, but it's still not the quality performance that Bevine accomplishes in the previous books.

It's so heartbreaking though. So heartbreaking.

This book is great.

Under the pressures of WotC, RA Salvatore needed to advance the timeline of the series to match the rest of the Realms. This particular book ties up a lot of the loose ends that the "transition" creates. It is very beautifully done.

Also, a lot of people hate on Mark Bramhall, but I think he does a great job. People love Victor Bevine, and so do I, but if Mark had been reading these from the beginning no one would say a bad word about him... except for the "Piekel" thing. :)
