Resumen del Editor

Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .

In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince—by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people—and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus—a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.

Dragon wing

One of the best books in the most underrated series of all time. The narrator’s voices perfectly match each character

Great start

I have read these before, years ago - fun to revisit them - thanks, well done.

Finally

Been waiting for an unabridged audio version of these books for a few decades. Thank you!

The voicing was beautiful.

I hope we see a screen adaptation, a proper and a loyal adaptation, of this deep work weaving fantasy with philosophy yet encompassing even more one could tell with these two words.

Couldn’t stop listening

The world building is incredibly well done. Great narration too. Looking forward to starting the second book of the series.

Never underestimate the need for a mixing engineer

I've waited a long time for this book series. The narration is... okay. The narrator has talent and does a great job with voices, while they may not fit the characters they at least make it easy to differentiate who is speaking. The narration between is a little flat, making it hard to pay attention. The biggest gripe is the dynamics. The audio keeps fading from loud to very soft, like the speaker is moving away from the mic, like someone turning away while talking to you. This could have been fixed in mixing with compression! The story itself is great, as others have said.

Love the story

I’ve read this series a few time and love the entire story. The performance is great!

So happy to have this series!

I have always loved this series since I was young and own all of the hardcovers. This is still a great series with amazing story and characters. Like the others, I will agree others and say that while the narrator was very active and well versed, the accents and voices used just seem off. I would never imagine elves sounding like Irish sailors or Alfred sounding like he was the Alfred from Batman. Just seems the voices don’t match the characters a lot.
