the ending wasn't what I thought, but I can't wait

the story was tons of fun, and I like the ending, but it wasn't what I expected. I can't wait for the next book. I know there's a trilogy and there's other writings by the same author that are very good.

Great Book, poor reader

To chime in with how most people have felt about Robert from the other book’s reviews, he’s just not a great reader. Heard his phone go off a couple of times (yes the ringer, not just vibrate). Really weird long pauses for no reason. Idk if this is on him or his editing team or what the case is. I don’t have time to sit down and read a book very often, hence why I listen to these audios, so I’m still going to listen to this series (that I’ve luckily already read a while back, just revisiting now) because it’s convenient. But I’m going to be mildly frustrated the whole time, I’m sure.

Pretty Entertaining

I liked it for the most part. Some parts of the story were a little too obvious, but that was kind of expected.

Great story Funny Narration

the book is just as good as I remember when I read it 10 plus years ago and I enjoyed it dearly as far as narration the best part is at 33:42 in chapter 15 when something important happens and a plot twist is dropped when you hear a random person who isn't the narrator saying from further away " Whaaaat?" made the whole book that much better

to me the narrator is a bit aggrivating, the book its self is good though

throughout the book there are numerous big audible gulps the narrator makes and on chapter 14 or 15 at the end you can tell they are not alone narrating the book or it just didnt get edited out as someone in the background has a reaction to a turning point in the story. the story is good 10/10 but the narrator could be better with delivery

SPOILER ALERT!

Well, I took a while for the book to get to the point. I could actually hear the narrator swallowing. Didn’t like the unnecessary I can’t explain to you right now parts. The 2 friends served nothing. They hurt more than they helped through out the book and they were just not needed to keep the interest. I usually like Williams books but this one was really slow. Also, when they changed the rules they could have changed more of the rules that were truly inhuman such as slavery or the remaking of heirs or trafficking of heirs to claim for the particular family or faction or making more than one place a safe haven for all factions. We’ll see how fast their population will increase! I hope this book do tie in with the others. We’ll see. Yes I am going to listen to all of them whether I want to or not because I want to rate them fairly. But so far this is my rating. I hope the books improve.

It was a lovely story, great voice, bad editting

Where does The Warrior Heir rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I read the books as a teen, and shared them with my girlfriend who loved it. We've heard this reader before and like him, but the editing is not super great, weird pauses.

Best book I've read since Twilight and Harry Potte

What made the experience of listening to The Warrior Heir the most enjoyable?

The story was gripping. I hated to put my listening device down! Also, unlike many books I've listened to lately, there was a happy ending which topped off the experience nicely.

What other book might you compare The Warrior Heir to and why?

I hate to compare things to Harry Potter, but it's the closest I can think of. There's more to the main character and his past than he is originally aware of, and fresh aspects of his past and destiny are revealed as the story progresses.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Robert Ramirez?

Perhaps. He was a good narrator, but not as compelling to listen to as some others I've heard.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was particularly moved by the solution two of the main characters found to the difficult problem facing them. I can't say more without spoiling it for someone who hasn't read the book.

Any additional comments?

I definitely recommend the book, even though I'm not giving it 5 stars. It's in the "I like it a lot" category, and I'm extremely picky about what I give 5 stars to.

loved it

despite what the reviews said I went ahead and got the thing and was not disappointed the narrator is not as bad as they say

Such a good voice

Honestly, I loved this story when I first read it. But after hearing this performance by Robert Ramirez, I feel like I deprived myself the first time around. Such a good voice. There were a couple pauses that were a little long, but overall, I can't wait to find more books he read.
