Resumen del Editor

The world of Arkaria is a dangerous place, filled with dragons, titans, goblins and other dangers. Those who live in this world are faced with two choices: live an ordinary life or become an adventurer and seek the extraordinary.

Cyrus Davidon leads a small guild in the human capital of Reikonos. Caught in an untenable situation, facing death in the den of a dragon, they are saved by the brave fighters of Sanctuary who offer an invitation filled with the promise of greater adventure. Soon Cyrus is embroiled in a mystery - someone is stealing weapons of nearly unlimited power for an unknown purpose, and Sanctuary may be the only thing that stands between the world of Arkaria and total destruction.

GOOD BOOK, HORRIBLE NARRATION

The book is OK, and the characters are easy to fault in step with. Overall, it is a good read.
But with an audio book, the one thing that can kill a great story is a bad narrator. This narrator is hum-drum, completely uninteresting. And when he tries to do any kind of accent, it is terrible. He needs to find work reading instruction manuals.

I enjoyed this story.

This was a good listen. The story was narrated well and was quite entertaining too.

Great story - Even better on audio.

Would you consider the audio edition of Defender to be better than the print version?

Yes, the reading of the book added depth and texture to the characters and to the action.

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

I have listened to other performances by Mr. Thompson and this has to be his best. He had so many characters to deal with but he did a masterful job giving personality to each of them. I particularly enjoyed his use of sarcasm and wit where appropriate. There could have been a tendency to go the extreme with certain characters but I think he did a great job of keeping them real. He was also consistent with his characters through what is a long book.

Any additional comments?

Crane's book is engaging and entertaining. The reading of the book brought it to life.

Not bad but

Not what I hoped it would be somewhat of a typical storyline hero and love interest

The books are much better

I reread all the books multiple time and it always captures my attention, I was excited to hear it for the first time and relive the adventure in a new perspective. Turn out it was a huge disappointment since hearing the narrator’s monotone voice and bad accents with little differences between the characters. He sounds so uninterested which is quite unfortunate

excelent book

great book, i couldnt stop listening lol,
i cant wait to listen to the next one

Great book

I can’t wait for the rest of the audible books of the series. 10/10 recommend

great story

I love the story line and the banter makes me smile and laugh out loud

Audio book review

It would have been fine but it stopped after one chapter. I'm sure there's some lame excuse like "oh of course you have to buy it separately for each chapter." I have not the slightest interest in knowing what you're moronic reasoning may be. You burnt me for a measly 7.99. I hope you choke on it. My star rating is negative 5 stars.

The Sanctuary Series us a very unique storyline and I hope to see the rest be recording and put on Audible

The Sanctuary Series us a very unique storyline and I hope to see the rest be recording and put on Audible. I've read them all and enjoy listening to the story again.
