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)?

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.

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

overall I loved it

Axe does a serviceable job of narrating the tale but needs to work on his characters, they all sound the same. Overall I loved it, but Peter Mcnichol was better.

Bad story telling of a great book

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

I would if they couldn't find the previous audio book of this series.

How could the performance have been better?

If the Narrator would pronounce the Characters names right.Great story just couldn't get into the narrator.

these books never disappoint me

love all these books have read almost every single one of them I have read this series about 3 times

Exceptional

To mock narration is to mock ones own inner voice. Open your mind, see greatness.
