story: meh; narration: horrid

The stories were okay, nothing special. But I REALLY struggled to listen to the whole thing. All the male voices sounded like overly-dramatic, overly-enunciating, snooty pirates. No actual pirate characters.

amazing storytelling

absolutely fell in love with the powdermage world and leaves me wanting more and more

McClellan is an excellent storyteller his skill shines in these select short stories.

Narrator is terrible

Every time she spoke, it was like my fingernails were being pulled out of my skin whole. Her voice acting was absolutely terrible and she continually missed pronounced the names from the original narrator of the book. Which was super annoying. This was almost worth returning the book because of it.

I loved the story's

I loved the most of story's, the murder at the kinnin hotel dragged at times but other wise the story's were great. I didn't like the person who narrated because all the names were pronounced differently

Great books for the powder mage fan

The performance would have gotten more stars but the narrator kept pronouncing names wrong I've listened to graphic audio versions and they pronounc everything correctly

well that was fun

a review requires fifteen words. I have only a few more to go. Good stories. Will listen again someday

They’re both wrong.

Everyone is taking the narrator through the coals over her mispronunciations, but according to the author they’re both wrong. According to Brian McClellan, he pronounces Tamas as ‘Thomas’.

That notwithstanding, I still don’t enjoy her as much as a narrator. She’s not BAD, but I don’t like how she places emphasis. Sometimes she feels more like how I would read a story to my children when they were younger. Not all the time, but I think that’s where my dissatisfactions comes from with her.

Do I dislike her enough not to listen to the rest of the stories? In the near future, sadly yes. Maybe I can come back to the series after a break, but I couldn’t handle more of her right now.

excellent story

excellent story, subpar narration. these books give an excellent look into the powder mage universe. however the narrator seems to struggle with pronouncing names. she also struggles to make her voice take on a deeper tone(which was unnecessary) for some of the male characters and ends up sounding a bit comical. kinda like a little kid trying to sound like a grown up. honestly it does become a bit distracting for a while maybe even annoying. thankfully the stories are good enough to drown out the performance. loved seeing the main characters of the powder mage trilogy at different points in their lives.

Very good story - narration is off

At first I thought the main characters were twelve years old based on the narration
