Some good idea, just bad execution

Im gonna be pretty critical, I'm sorry in advance. First, the narrator is better than the previous one, but still rough at times and some of his voices are just not working like natalior (the bard). It's really distracting and negatively impact the experience.

Most of the book i just couldn't care about what was going on. The dwarfs exists i guess, not sure why they were in that book. They used a good chunk of it for little to no impact on the story for a long time and then they finally do something and.. nothing... huh ?

The whole series is just weird, the timings are off. i feel like it's a bunch of ideas put somewhat together fast to get the book out in a deadline. I'm sorry if I'm a bit blunt but it's how i see it. i really don't think im gonna get the 3rd book, we will see. i feel bad leaving this review, especially since the book doesn't seem really popular (2 reviews) but i just don't see the appeal that others saw. Good luck to the writer, i think you have a lot of work to do.
