As good as I remember.

This book was as good as the first time I read it all those years ago. On to Twilight.

Barely okay...

The narrator is the real downfall. Super annoying and distracting. The actual story is so so at best. The writing is mediocre and sometimes ridiculous

Great Story

I must admit, I thought it would be different. While I expected to see the heroes return from the first book. I did not expect that more than a decade had elapsed. It worked out well; however, with the party's heavy hitters trapped in a constant battle, providing encouragement and support, as all heroes must do, while waiting to be rescued. The introduction of the new characters was great and I look forward to seeing where they all end up.

more refined than the predecessor

the story did improve. nice mix of first and second edition d&d rules. i personally love the inclusion of a pit fiend in all of these early campaigns. even if it does wear a little thin. makes me appreciate the phaerimm and the beholder as boss monsters in other stories.

Outstanding narrator!

loved this audiobook, i can't wait to start on the next book in this series.

militades

militades is a paladin of tyre how is he wielding a sword? However great book and great story telling overall. I've run out of forgotten realms books to listen to due to bad storytelling. I have ~80 novels in my collection. This was very refeshing.

Enjoyable! ultimately an enjoyable experience.

I think the story was good but the high pitched voices used for demons and dark wizard gave me "wicked witch" vibes so they never seemed very intimidating. More comical most times. A good story still.

Great fun.

Wish they would publish work like this again. Full of fantasy goodness with no agenda woven in the narrative.

Was this really written by professionals ?

This is the worst audio books I have ever heard. The characters are one-dimensional. The dialogue is awful. The voice acting is marginal. The childish and flamboyantly stupid main antagonist is laughable considering the intelligence cunning and discipline that would be required to survive as even an acolyte Red wizard of Thay.
