It can lay low a dragon or heal a wounded warrior. It is the most sought-after magical power in all Faern. And it is in the reluctant hands of Shandril of Highmoon, a young, orphaned kitchen-lass. Now she's on the run from half of the evil sorcerers in the land, not to mention their relentless minions. But with the help of a handsome young wizard, some rough-and-tumble Knights of Myth Drannor, and a certain old mage of Shadowdale, she just might manage to stay alive. At least until tomorrow.

Unbeknownst to mortals, the gods had been summoned together, and among them was Mystra, grown proud and willful in the passing eons. With the others, she was about to be stripped of her godhood. The secret of her power gave her an idea. She made certain preparations, looking always for one who would be her successor.... But until that person's ascension, her power must be preserved.

Worst Narrator I've encountered.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I can't get through this book. The reader reads it as if it's poetry... not a story... it's mind numbing...
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Different reader.
Would you be willing to try another one of James Patrick Cronin’s performances?
Hell no.
Any additional comments?
Please have this book re-read.

What disappointed you about Swords of Eveningstar?
EVERYTHING.BADLY WRITTEN, NOT ED'S LEVEL FOR FANTASY. THE WORST IS THE NARRATOR OF THE STORY, WHAT A GIRLY VOICE FOR HEROS.
Would you ever listen to anything by Ed Greenwood again?
YES I'VE READ OTHER BOOKS BY ED AND HE IS USUALLY A TOP FANTASY WRITER.
Who would you have cast as narrator instead of James Patrick Cronin?
ANYONE WITH A MANS VOICE.
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
NO.

I could literally narrate better
The terrible narration feels like it's being read by someone learning English as a second language and has no experience with acting, auditing for a local amateur theatre show.
Please, use Victor Bevine next time.
