Perfect voice

Rosalyn Lander is the perfect voice for the entire Drow community. Her portrayal of these deliciously evil characters were right in point.. well done madam, well done.

British Drow?

I've listened to every single Drizzt book, from Homeland to Lolth's Warrior. I am used to the characters sounding a certain way, and while the narrator of this one does a great job of telling the story, her accent made it harder for me to really get into it. Every single Drow, and other characters like orcs, now have a British accent, and in one instance I'm pretty sure there was Scottish accent as well. They just don't sound right.

Great start to a great story

The story is amazing.
The narrator does an excellent job.
I highly recommend this book.

Excellent

love this story. Dark elves in their own element. Great characters, betrayal and murder. what happens next!

Fun Romp thru the UnderDark

What made the experience of listening to Dissolution the most enjoyable?

great portrayal of these characters that would otherwise be the antagonists.

What other book might you compare Dissolution to and why?

well the rest of the series..Obviously if you enjoy menzoberranzan but would like a tale not centered around Drizzt this is a must have.

What does Rosalyn Landor bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

I don't generally review books..but I wanted to comment on on the Narrator. She's fantastic her voice reminds me of Marina Sirtis's.She has a great pace and cadence.
As I grow as a listener from a pure reader a good narrator has become as important to the experience as the quality of the writing. Any fan of Dnd Fantasy will find Rosalyn an enjoyable listen that really delivers an excellent performance

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

nah it was all fun

Any additional comments?

my review goes for rest of series.. I don't want to say more for fear of Spoilers
