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)

This is what Audible Listening is all about!

Once again, Stanek kept me listening until the small hours of the morning. Not only does he have the ability to create rich landscapes, but he peoples these landscapes with characters you want to know more about because they are interesting and real. As ever, Stanek doesn't overwhelm the reader with needless detail in the manner of Robert Jordan, rather he works detail seamlessly into his narrative.

The well-rounded characters are beautifully drawn. Stanek's prose style changes subtly from one character to another, making each fresh.

He continues the practice of devoting a section to one character at a time and shifting between characters to keep the pace brisk. He also lets the read fill in blanks with their imagination which has a much more powerful effect than an overabundance of detail. In fact, I was so glad that every braid pull, skirt tuck, etc wasn't detailed.

Plus Stanek is an author who respects the intelligence of his readers. He doesn't waste page after page backpedeling over every little thing that has happened previously in the story. Instead he picks up where he left off last and moves forward. I strongly recomend this series to everyone who enjoyed good books. These books are rare finds.

it was amazing

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches III was a very good book, because it gave a ton of detail. Robert Stanek did an excellent job giving details. It felt like I was there. Read this book- you will love it!!!

Top notch

The Kingdoms and the Elves of the Reaches books are a fantastic listen for any age! What I love about the books is that they get better and better as the series goes along, going from very good to fantastic to phenominal. The author creates the perfect atmosphere with well developed characters and vividly described landscapes to transport you to another world. It's excellent fantasy and a great listen, but you have to start with the first book to understand this one. It has excellent relisten value as I have relistened to the entire set multiple times and so have other members of my family.

Superb

Wow I enjoyed this book! I just could not stop and I was on the edge of my seat wanting to know what would happen next--even after my second time listening. A must for anyone who loves a good story, well told.

High Adventure and Mystery Await!

This incredible series only improves as it goes along! The external speakers we bought for our iPod was our best investment so far as our whole family gathers to listen to the stories. These stories are one of the all time classics for all ages. We've enjoyed watching Adrina grow into a more mature young woman, Vilmos accept who he is and go on great adventures, Seth battle the elements and unseen foes, and Xith at the center of it all.
