overall not bad

So Rig complains far too much and Blister can be annoying. Otherwise this was a great trilogy well worth the time.

narrator is odd

The story is good but the narration is annoying. The long drawn out speech of the dragons is terrible.

horrible voice acting

The voice acting for the dragons is a deal-breaker. Will make you want to rip your ears off. Shame.

love the narrator

the narrator (and not just in this book) say some of the charcters names wrong

Strong close

As with the previous two, I have mixed feelings about the narrator. Some of his voices are fantastic while others annoy me to no end.

Also like the previous two, it's a strong story with only a few inaccurate facts.

My biggest complaint is that I feel there is just too much going on in these books for how short they are. I really think they should have been between 1.5 and twice the length they were to give appropriate time and attention to everything going on.

Even with that in consideration though, I still highly recommend the series. Really sets the stage for later events.
