Darkness Pervades

Although darkness is the very premise and theme of this episode, hope still springs eternal!

good build anti-climatic

The person reading this audiobook is not as good as the other audiobooks read by a different guy. The story itself was great in thought but not as climatic and exciting as the other books have ended hoping the next in the series continues with the same gusto.

great story awful, awful, awful voice acting

The man reading has one voice and that's it, makes listening almost a chore, they really should have found someone else because the characters deserve better than somebody just showing up for a paycheck

Somewhat tedious

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Only if they had already read the other books, and the first book of this series.

What did you like best about this story?

Too much detail in battles, I don't need to hear about every blow. Almost seems as if the book is being padded out with excess words.
The ending just leads into the next series.

What didn’t you like about Richard Ferrone’s performance?

I didn't like the narration, and he pronounces some of the names so differently I thought they were different people for a while.

Story great again

Original narrator was fabulous. Prior narrator was terrible. This one wasn’t bad, although after a dozen books, it would be nice to keep the original, though perhaps he’s no longer available.
