Publisher's summary

A thousand years ago, the armies of the Arcosian Empire, led by Mornhavon the Black, crossed the great sea and tried to conquer the land of Sacoridia - and during Karigan G’ladheon’s early years as a Green Rider, Mornhavon’s spirit, sensing weakness in his prison walls and seeking vengeance, began to wake.

With the ghostly help of the First Rider, Karigan had managed to drive off the spirit of Mornhavon - but for how long, no one could know. And now, the descendants of those Arcosians are ready to strike, reaching out to claim the land their forebears had tried to conquer. Worse, these vengeful enemies had spent generations honing their powers of dark magic - a force against which the Sacoridians had no defense….

3rd book and still an interesting story

Would you consider the audio edition of The High King's Tomb to be better than the print version?

I haven't read the written version.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The High King's Tomb?

The scene in the tombs where Keri. is dressed in black.

What about Ellen Archer???s performance did you like?

She is WONDERFUL! She doesn't read the words she puts so much feeling into the words. Ellen is easily in my top five narrators and I have listened to over 150 audiobooks.

Any additional comments?

Some say this book wasn't as enjoyable as the first two books. I have to say book three is just as interesting as the first two. We simply didn't have a BIG battle to deal with, just little skirmishes to move the characters around. I think I would be disappointed if every book had the same plot formula to it. This book took a small step back to allow the reader to take a breath, but it doesn't mean that this book was boring by any means. As the story goes on the life around K gets larger and the author spends a little time in different places with different characters to keep it all going. Otherwise we would spend time with the main character and wonder what was happening at the wall or K would show up at the wall and we wouldn't have a clue as to the struggles that occurred there. I enjoyed this story just as much as the other ones and couldn't put it down.

Missing the last few minutes of the end

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

yes I would! I love the entire series so far

Have you listened to any of Ellen Archer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

The voices that she does are just Awesome

Any additional comments?

I love this series! And I thought I had screwed up somewhere, but the last few minutes or so from the last chapter are missing! It just stopped mid sentence.

It's a great listen!

What did you like best about this story?

It's an interesting story line and the reader does a great job inflecting the voices of the different characters.

Any additional comments?

You need to read the series in the correct sequence - but all three of the books are great.

Good but not as good as the first 2

If you could sum up The High King's Tomb in three words, what would they be?

I like this series, I like this book. The only down side here is that the story tends to bog down occasionally. It does however pick back up and remains interesting.

The narrator does a good job and this is overall a good read.

excellent

With the different voices and the description of the characters you can literary close your eyes and be literally with karigan and westrion in the Grey world watching and experiencing everything karigan does.

Voice actor is incredible

Ellen is able to do a incredible variety of voices for the different characters and remember what each one sounds like to the T. At some points, I forget it’s just her reading. The story itself is fascinating with just a touch of romance. Anyone who likes/loved Lord of the Rings or The Hobbit is sure to love this series as well.

great story

This is another well told story in a great series. I will relisten to this series again.

Strayed from the path

First I have just found this series so the knowledge that I will be waiting 4-5 years for the next is sad. I was so enthalled with this story and love so many elements of it that are unique in the fantasy genere and yet classic. However I think Britain caved in to the trend toward darker themes happening in publishing these days. I was not impressed with the ending ot the authors treatment of Karagan in this volume. The Narration is wonderful and the story is very good but uts heading in a direction that might put me off the next book.

Another gripping continuation of Karigan's story

I really enjoy Karigan's adventures and truly love how the narrator tells the story! It's amazing how she creates all the different characters and lets their adventure come to life! Enjoyed this book better than the second. Looking forward to the next.
