Addictive!

Couldn’t stop listening and I finished it in 3 days. I’ve always been a fan of diablo games so these books are bringing so much depth to the games I’ve played for so long.

Please do the rest of the series!

Fantastic narration, brought the book to life. Eagerly awaiting more parts of the series narrated by Josh Clark.

solid grim and grueling

sucks for the main character throughout pretty much the whole book. it's my first experience with a grim dark grueling setting and I like it.

Not as good as I remember

I read this book back in 2002 and loved it. I was in the midst of Baal and cow runs in Diablo 2 and came across this title in a bookstore and had to pick it up. recently, with the announcement of Diablo 2 Resurrected I was excited to see that Audible had a copy. despite the mixed reviews, I figured I'd give it a listen. While the narrator does his best to hold the listener's attention, it's poorly written and cumbersome at times. Sadly, I can't recommend listening unless you're a diehard fan in need of content.

Gets better towards the end.

This audio book is very detailed so I recommend a quiet place when listening. It is well narrated and written. I recommend it for Diablo fans.

Diablo lore fan must have!

As some one who tries to consume as much Diablo lore there is out there i can absolutely recommend this story. Not perfect but a very entertaining listen. It gives you an extra angle on some of the big names in the history of the overall story.

Really good

I injoyed it. for For me it was like D&D in a Diablo world theme.

A great first audio book

I chose this book as my first Audible book because I'm already invested in the Diablo universe, and this story did not disappoint. The performance was great, with perfect annunciation and pronounciation, and with distinct voices for each character.

The only issue I had at all is petty at best, but some of the writing felt like the author was in dire need of a thesaurus. Take a shot every time eyes are called "orbs" and you probably won't make it through the book.

Great Great Great

Grrrrreat. Great Great. Great Really Great great. greaty great great. great! Super great. Great as well.

Definitely worth the listen

It was a good story and I'll definitely listen to more in the series. My only gripe was that some of the characters sounded so similar. Two characters I thought were the same person for half the book cause they sounded so similar.

only for diablo fans

if you love the diablo world i would recommend it. especially if you're a fan of diablo 2!

this is an diablo story. don't expect alot of world building or character development this is just an side story in the diablo world. with a closer look on some places we know and love. As a fan i liked it :)

Despite franchise. My ears can't stop listen...

... I normally don't find stories based on games, or vice versa, that intriguing or exciting. Yet I couldn't stop listening to this, even when I'm at work. A simple line of story, yet the details are putting me right into that dark gloomy atmosphere I long for. Simple yet so good. :)

Blown away

by far the best Narrator. Great story, very entertaining. couldn't be better imo. hear it

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed listning to this story.
Ive never read nore ever listen to a book before. Very soothening and made me very calm. Couldnt stop listning. The story was exciting and dragged the listener along!
Stay a while and listen!

So close to being good

Yes it's pulpy, but it's largely fun and well narrated. Even so, I would strongly advise against this one just because how bad the ending is.

This is written like the build up to what would be an epic trilogy. Then it abruptly ends with a huge anticlimax.

It's like the author got news that the publisher didn't want a sequel when he was about 99% done, and had to hurriedly wrap it up. It's infuriating.

just ok

I've listened to and enjoyed a lot of audiobooks that covered the lore of the games that i played, but this one just didn't pick my interest. I listened to it until the end, and it wasn't so bad that i would just shelv it, but really i mostly felt i wanted it to be over already.

Dragged out filler

Don't get me wrong, the environment and character building with detailed descriptions is well written, however in this case, it makes the short and filler plot to the Diablo franchise feel extremely dragged out. This fact also made the narration and especially the dialogues sound very slow at times and I sped it up. The narrator itself has a very unique and impressive voice, more-so with all the different character dialogues. It goes together very well with the grim story.

I wouldn't recommend this, but I can recommend The Sin War trilogy by the same author, where the length really allows the world and character building to shine while having a vital plot for the franchise.

Fantastic Narration

Narrated really well with a nice chill factor in the right places and nice to find out the background story to the game

Excellent story

Interesting journey in the world of Diablo . with some familiar names and places along the way, overall a thoroughly enjoyable journey.

absolutely perfect. great narration and gripping.

so good. really great narration from Josh Clarke. I can't wait to carry on the diablo series. hopefully Josh narrates again.
