Dragons of the Dwarven Depths

The Lost Chronicles, Volume 1

De: Margaret Weis, Tracy Hickman

Narrado por: Sandra Burr

The Companions are back in this first volume, which features an untold story from the War of the Lance. The beloved heroes return: Tanis, Raistlin and Caramon, Sturm Brightblade, Tasslehoff, and Flint Fireforge. Old friends, such as Riverwind and Goldmoon and Laurana, travel with them. Old enemies are here too, as the companions encounter new adventures and new dangers in the very beginning months of the War of the Lance.

This book starts with the celebration of a wedding. The companions believe they have slain the evil Dragon Highlord Verminaard. They have rescued the refugees from Pax Tharkas and taken them to a valley in the Kharolis mountains.

After they are attacked by the Dragon Armies, Tanis and Flint are sent to search for the long lost dwarven kingdom of Thorbardin, hoping to persuade the dwarves to give the refugees shelter for winter.

Each of the other companions face their own trials. Raistlin remembers that, according to tales of old, the key to Thorbardin lies in the haunted fortress known as Skullcap. The others want nothing to do with this accursed place, but Raistlin feels strangely drawn to the ruins, and he persuades a reluctant Caramon to accompany him there.

Sturm becomes obsessed with finding the legendary Hammer of Kharas, and his obsession nearly plunges the party into disaster. Riverwind, now chieftain of his tribe, is made the reluctant leader of the refugees and worries that he is not suited for the task. Tika Waylan must decide if she has the courage to undertake a perilous journey to save those she loves from certain death, while Tanis Half-Elven wrestles with his faith in the newly returned gods.

But it is the dwarf, Flint Fireforge, who faces the most crucial test.

Loved the book. Loathed the narrator.

The book was great! Loved being able to fill in the gaps between the first two Chronicles books.
The narrator was awful. Her character voices were deplorable and her pronunciations were very American-ized. Agonizing. Should have used Paul Boehmer again.

Tasslehoff is unbearable and names are hard.

The voice use for Tasslehoff Burrfoot is by far the most annoying and unpleasant voice to listen to I have ever heard by a narrator. I hated it from the first time I heard it and almost deleted the book from my audible library. By the end of the book, I hated it just as much and I can only pray that I don't have to listen to it in future books. The narrator also mispronounces very common names in this series that have very simple phonetics.

Love the Series but the Narrator....

I've downloaded several books of Raistlin, Cameron, Tanis, Flint, Strum, Tass...this list goes on. I've enjoyed everyone and the narrators glance been decent until now. The narrator of this book is terrible it was a struggle to listen to its entirety. Please redo with another narrator for the benefit of the benefit of listeners.

Great fill in the gaps. People seem to love burr but I found most of the male voices not very good.

Tas was like nails on chalkboard for which is hard as he has a lot of lonely.

bad voice overs

the voices are horrible. like the lolli-pop kids did them. its awful. they should have used the original voices
