Resumen del Editor

Exiled from her home, the beautiful dark elf Liriel Baenre wanders the surface world with her companion Fyodor. But even far from the dark haunts of Menzoberranzan, she is not safe from the vengeance of her archenemy. Even as she and her friend sail the dangerous seas of the Sword Coast, a drow priestess plots a terrible fate for them.

And in the depths of the earth, the spider queen Lolth weaves her own webs of terror and treachery.

don't care for the narrator

She ha a really weird inflection on all of the lines, almost talking like a valley girl. it was kinda distracting.

story line is great.... the reader ...

story is great if you are into the drow stories. not only that but it gives another drow life away from the underdark, makes you wonder where the story could go with "little raven"

Excellent book

Excellent book and read this is my second time to listen to it a excellent book

Dara Rosenberg can't read or doesn't know English

I enjoyed the book. MY only issue is the narrator can't pronounce many every day words. I lost count how many times she spoke words incorrectly. Breaks the momentum for me when things as simple as the word "cache" get buchered repeatedly.

bad narration

horrible pronunciation of many different words. countless edits of another's voice into the narrative. overall just really hard to listen to. the saving grace is the story itself. very well written

Very Nice

Excellent work by Elaine. Bravo! Great ending as well, hard to do but done easily. Found this tale concluded with a warm bit of savor.

I hate that I have to listen to this horrible narrator if I want to listen to the books

I really enjoy this series, Elaine Cunningham does a fantastic job at being a new unexpected perception of the drow that is much needed but I cannot stand Dara in the role of narrator for these books. Her voice and inflection have a place but it is not narrating. She’s just weirdly reading sentences with incorrect feeling or awkward pauses between words.

One of the Best Forgotten Realm's Books

Tangled Webs is Elaine Cunningham at her best here in Tangled Web. The story takes full advantage of the rich Forgotten Realms setting and crafts a tale with plenty of action, character development, plot twists, excitement and even a dash of humor. This is the sort of fun fantasy book that you just can't put down.

Tangled Webs builds off the excellent Daughter of the Drow and turns everything up to 11. One half a road trip by sea and one half a intrigue plot the book keeps you guess and the story moving. The new villains and supporting characters are great increasing the stakes to their highest yet. Liriel and her companion continue to be great characters. As a protagonist Liriel continue to be a delight with her flippant attitude, love of life and proactive willingness to confront her foes rather than wait to be attacking like most heroes.

Once again the audio quality is the only really negative here. While the reading is better than the first the recording quality and editing are really terrible and need to be brought up the level that this novel deserves.

Disappointed after a good first book

Would you try another book from Elaine Cunningham and/or Dara Rosenberg?

I would try another Elaine Cunningham book but never another book by the narrator.

Has Tangled Webs turned you off from other books in this genre?

Yes!

Would you be willing to try another one of Dara Rosenberg’s performances?

Absolutely not. Her performance is not a hideous as the first book where she split sentences in two and mispronounced half of the words, but it is still like nails on a chalkboard. I sense nepotism that she even was hired to read. She ruined an "okay" book.

Could you see Tangled Webs being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Oh hell no. This story went off of the cliff. Far too many disparate parts and a rushed ending.

Any additional comments?

This series had promise with book 1. They should have stayed in the Underdark.

Narrator

The story is amazing but the narrator doesn't pronounce words correctly like wary and sinew
