Reseñas de la Crítica

"[Obert] Skye’s quick-paced, humorous adventure will keep kids of all ages reading this summer." ( Las Vegas Review Journal)

An excellent listen and a good book for the kids

This is a book I started reading in high school and put down. I just recently rediscovered it and got it on Audible and just listened to it in its entirety and it is just as enjoyable now as it was when I was in high school.

Fun Middle Grade Fantasy

It started a bit on the sad side with a young boy (13 yrs) acting out because his mother was sick and he had no other support at home, she dies and he is shipped off to a reclusive uncle he has never met. He gets in to a lot of trouble as he always has done at school and strange things start happening and secrets in his uncle's house cause him to investigate. The story starts a bit slow but it becomes more intriguing and you slowly get pulled in. It's a great book for 5th grade and above for those who like mystery, fantasy and of course dragons.

I listened to this one with my 11 and 15 year old sons and we really enjoyed it. The narrator did a great job, was very entertaining and really good differentiation with the character voices.

wonderful book for kids upto 99

Such a great told story, I wish the rest was done in audiobook format. I've enjoyed it so much I have listened to it 4times.

Pillage is awsome

I really in joyed the story line of this book!!!! It Kept me on my toes:)

I love this narrator!

I love this book! Orbert Skye is my top favorite author and I loved his series Leven Thumps so I wanted more and I found this mini series! it did not dissapoint! I love the characters and the backstories and the fantasy these books have. The narrator is wonderful as well. he did Leven thumps as well and I really like that he gives each of the characters a different voice! He is wonderful to listen to.
I recommend this book and audiobook to everyone!

Good Read

This book was an interesting take on Dragons. also loved how the author gave a great back story to the Pillage family.

it doesn't hold up

I remeber loving this book as a kid but it doesn't hold up as well. it's not bad but eb stevens definetly caries it. the author doesn't know how to write women for sure also the dialoge is often clunky

WHAT HAPPENED?!

😢😢😢 Where is Choke?! Where is Ambush?!!!

It’s been 7 years! Where are the other 2 books on audiobook?!

Migically entertaining

An easy listen. This story is great for both kids and adults. It's an entertaining story of magic and self discovery.
But...WHERE are Choke and Ambush??? We'd love to finish out the trilogy...or Pillogy as the author likes to say.

Ruined by performance

The plot is solid, simple, teen and enjoyable enough. The bits of Steven’s humor that would make it sparkle are lost to terrible a delivery. The performance of character voices is one of the strangest conglomeration of accents I’ve ever heard, and they don’t match the characters in anyway. Furthermore, the actor is sloppy and gets mixed up between their accents. I’m 4/5 of the way through the book and I don’t really care whether or not I finish. I might finish it on paper one day.
