Reseñas de la Crítica
"[A] complex tale...sure to attract fans of graphic novels and classic Tolkien alike....Stanek will likely draw a cult following....This cliffhanger guarantees fans, and those fans will be ready to wield their swords against the Dark Lord in Stanek's next installment." (Voice of Youth Advocates)
Maybe it is more appealing to young readers-- I am an adult, I listened to this as a possible title to hand down to my daughter. If you choose to ignore my minority opinion and listen anyway, I do recommend you go ahead and get the second at the same time, as this first one stops more than ends. You might as well subject yourself both and at least get some closure. I only happened to have both becuase they were part of the summer sale and had such wonderful reviews. I understand there are third and fourth books, but I won't be bothering with them.

Especially in a fantasy novel with unfamiliar character names and geography, this sloppy diction leaves the story in a confusing muddle. For that reason, I find the narrative and characters completely unengaging; perhaps I would feel differently reading the print version.
An audiobook is supposed to be about the audio

I gave this 2 stars due to the fact that i bought all four books in the series at the same time based on the ratings, I have now suffered through 3 of them. By the third installment the story does begin to become a little more clear and some of the details that should have been in book 1 start to emerge, but the journey is not worth the reward in my opinion.
Horrible Narration, detail missing

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
The story was very hard to follow. The accent and recording quality made it harder still. I am very disappointed I downloaded book 1 and 2 because we won't finish book 1 and there is no chance my kids will want to listen to book 2.Not great

The fact the the reader is so fast does not help me to absorb what is going on. For example, in any given "chapter" there will be at least 2 or 3 different character plots that are told. I am sure that if I read the book, I would see a large space in between when one plot ends and another begins. The reader however just continues as if one sentence is ending and another beginning, with little or no indicating pause. It is not until about a minute in that I figure out that another plot has begun. Also, as someone else wrote, I just do not find his voice inviting. I am now listening to the book only to finish it, and think I'll listen to a biography next just to get away from fantasy for a while.
I think "Reaches" is a better read than listen. It is very dense, and I think it would be easier to reread passages, rather than rewind.

So far, so good

Seriously, if someone had asked me how this book was 10 seconds before I heard the "story continues in book 2" bit, I would have said that it's been a slow start but that it looks like it is just starting to pick up. I actually went back to my library to confirm that "Book" 1 has only one part.
I can maybe see if some of the reviewers have never before been exposed to the concept of fiction, but if you've ever read a fantasy book before in your life, you will be DISAPPOINTED by this audiobook selection. If you enjoy plot or dialog, look elsewhere. I agree with others that one's money/book credits are much better spent on Robert Jordan, George R.R. Martin, or damn near anyone else than this audiobook.
The only reason I gave it two stars instead of one is that it might be the start of a decent book. But considering that I will have had to pay at least two book credits (or $40) just to have the possibility of reading a complete book that isn't really that great to begin with, I am definitely passing on the rest of these. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Shame on you , RP Audio!
Is Audible's review system being gamed here?
