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.

great book poor performance

I really love the book as well as a series however, the individual reading the book really needs to learn the characters proper names and places, and should truly practice a great deal more before ever submitting another book that someone will have to suffer through.

Lovd DnD and storys in this realm!

I was thinking that this wouldnot be as the 3 forst books. But it follows the same "thread" and i was back in the Drsgonlance world.

Narration is not that great, but loving books likte this it is tollerable.

Great story but narrator falls flat

The narrator of the original adventure had greater personality in his dialogue, more accurate and consistent pronunciation, but this one is just reading without passion, clearly did no prep on the story or characters, and all around flatlined the performance. Thankfully the story more than makes up for it.

Outstanding!

once againanother great conclusion to a trilogy superbly written. Tas!! Oh dear Tas doesnt even know the world is in his extreme debt.. Loved it!
