Dragons of Autumn Twilight

Dragonlance: Chronicles, Book 1

De: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrado por: Paul Boehmer

Lifelong friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.

No one expected them to be heroes.

Least of all, them.

Classic book; terrible narration

Would you listen to Dragons of Autumn Twilight again? Why?

No. Not until they decide to get a competent narrator.

What did you like best about this story?

Classic fantasy based in the world of Dungeons and Dragons. Descriptive language and colorful characters.

What didn’t you like about Paul Boehmer’s performance?

He reads like a robot and emphasized every syllable in every word. He reminds me of some of the folks on NPR..not in a good way.

Any additional comments?

Do not waste your money on this audiobook until they get a proper narrator. Buy a physical copy and read it in your own voice, you will be much happier.

Good Perfromance

Would you listen to Dragons of Autumn Twilight again? Why?

Paul Boehmer has done a good job with this. I'm sorry Ax Norman didn't get the chance to re-record the books himself, as I'm sure he could have done a good job too. Unfortunately, his previous performance was not excellent. I'm back to reading Dragonlance books thanks to Audible, so I'm reading the War of Souls series and listening again to the Chronicled and I admit I was at first disappointed. That's why a second listening is "necessary", to reestablish "order" in the universe!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragons of Autumn Twilight?

I've always loved the inn scene, when we meet all the main characters. I think the authors did a great job there of introducing the characters, give information about them, and proceed with the story. Laurana's introduction too is a memorable moment for me. I remember when I read it the first time twenty years ago, I was besotted with her!

Have you listened to any of Paul Boehmer’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No, it's my first. Good job, nice characterization, the pacing is flawless. When you realize you want to go on listening to the rest, the performer has done their job. This guy certainly works. :-)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I do not like that. because I think it's too much information at once. I like to listen to audiobooks in more than one sitting in order to savour all the elements.

Any additional comments?

What about the legends? Do Audible plan to re-record those novels as well?

great book poooooooooor performance

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I love this series bit the reading was very tough to listen to.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragons of Autumn Twilight?

These r some of the best charecters, only Salvatore does a better job.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

the narrator struggled witht th eflow and his voice was almost painful to listen to.

Did Dragons of Autumn Twilight inspire you to do anything?

No

Any additional comments?

no

Enthralling story and narrator!!

I had started this book on paperback and thought it couldn’t get better until I started listening to it on audible!! Man! Paul Boehmer sure knows how to bring a story to life. Now when I read it on my own, all the characters have the voices he chose for them! The story was reminiscent of Lord of the rings but still very original. Love all the characters and can’t wait to get all the books in the dragonlance series!

love this book

great listen in between dnd sessions! perfect fantasy! this is most definitely worth the price.
