The Coming of Wisdom

By: Dave Duncan

Narrated by: Donald Corren

The Goddess had rescued Wallie Smith from certain death, endowed him with a magnificent new body, and gifted him with the legendary Sapphire Sword of Chioxin. She asked only one service in return.... So Wallie became the Goddess' champion - and promptly found himself on the losing side in a battle against magics far beyond any the priests of the Goddess could hope to summon.

After eons of exile, sorcerers walked the World again, claiming lands and souls for their Fire God. Wallie quickly found that swords were no match for spells - and how could mere mortals prevail against the powers of magic?

Good story with good narration

Although this is a good story it's a little bit obvious and one tends to think that the hero has been hit on the head once too often.
The narration is very good indeed.

thought out

Its not complicated, its not cloying. The pace is steady and the details match ,decent editing and a fair continuation of the story. the narrator feels like a storyteller, not just someone reading.
four stars is a very good rating
five stars is something exceptional that moves me or connects with me.

Fantastic

Author is one of my faves. Narrator did great job, lots of inflection and emotion. Clear speech, no problems understanding over road noise.. Had high hopes for a great performance and they were surpassed far beyond what I was wishing for.

Entertaining & Fun

Pronunciation!

C’mon, it’s not hard. If you are going to say “in English it would be fo’csle”, say it! It’s only spelled forecastle. It’s pronunciation fox-ul. Also gun’l not gunwale. <shudder>.
