Retribution

The Beginning After the End, Book 10

De: TurtleMe

Narrado por: Travis Baldree, Elizabeth Evans

"I'm not your savior."

I didn't want to be worshiped like some deity—an instant replacement for the asuras. For so long, these people looked up to the asuras as gods, but the asuras kept trying to kill them.

Arthur Leywin has finally returned to the continent of Dicathen, but his home is still firmly in the hands of the enemy. His display of unprecedented power brings hope to his allies and fear to his enemies. It also deeply embroils him in a conflict between the godlike asuras, with Agrona Vritra on one side and Kezess Indrath on the other.

With the crimes of his past life haunting him in the form of the Legacy, Arthur can no longer afford to hone only his strength. He must also empower those closest to him or risk losing them all.

Favorite story, but narration SETUP was not great at all

I love this story. I’ve listened to every book 5 times waiting for vol. 10, but was disappointed when it started out without Travis narrating. Mrs. Evans did alright, but for male characters she completely ruins the build ups in between each chapter. I almost entirely stopped listening after chapter 2 when the chapter opened on a serious note in Arthur’s voice(by Elizabeth) but it came out uncharacteristically in her voice and I was left confused and underwhelmed. She did well on female voices, but starting with Travis doing every other book then switching to this new style where each narrator voices every other chapter just throws of the flow of the story. Still gonna listen because I love the story, I love Travis Baldree, I’m giving the new narrator a chance, and it’s bearable in between chapters, but just doesn’t flow like it used too. Great story TurtleMe.

Great addition to the series

Loved the book, but not too happy with the narration changes. I don’t understand why they would make changes this far into the series, and with someone who isn’t on par with Travis Baldree. The two of them switching off ruined the flow. I hope they change it back going forward.

The two different voices

I love this series and the book was no less awesome. I can't wait for book 11. But I was no happy at all withe the 2 different narrartors. I Travis's voice and I hope that going forward it will only be his voice again. Though the other is good, her voice was very distracting and made me want to fast forward past her chapters.

Ready for the next one

Great narrators on this like always. Ready for the next one like always. When will it be out

Be easier on Elizabeth

The story is excellent and Travis once again did a great job with narrating. Unfortunately, Elizabeth struggled a bit with male voices and at times the change in narrator was jarring. I think Elizabeth did a good job otherwise, but if Travis and Elizabeth could voice the characters themselves (dialogue within another POV), the narration may have been less jarring. That may be quite difficult logistically however, so I understand if that’s not possible. I would equate this performance to Lebron vs Scalabrine; both professionals but Travis is so great it’s really not fair to any new narrator to be in the same story with him so far into the series. Elizabeth is a good VA, that is clear to me, but after 9 volumes of Travis only, it was hard for her to measure up. I think people would be less harsh on her had she been here since Vol. 1. Please go easy on her in your reviews, some of them come from inherent bias because Travis did so well for 9 volumes. The story itself climaxes rather early in the book but comes in strong with lore revelations at the end.

SILVIE!!!!!!

I miss my little 🐉 dragon. Love this series, I never get any sleep when there is a new release.

Enjoyable

I do not understand the complaints about the narration. Both narraters were great. I personally like female narrators reading female points of views and male narrators reading male perspectives. The story is a bit of bridge to the next book but I enjoyed the walk across the bridge. I definitely recommend this audio book.

beautifully written

thanks again to Turtleme and Travis for another amazing listen. I'm really looking forward to the next book!

Moooooorrrrrr!!!!

I can’t stop listening to the story. I’ve re listed to it at least 20 times.

My review

If you made it this far it’s obvious you like the story so I probably don’t need to convince you to keep on keeping on . I would like to convey my dismay at having to wait for the next book in the series .
