Critic reviews

"The narrators, all good actors, dramatize the unusual characters with clarity and deliver natural-sounding dialogue. Their even pacing helps listeners track tricky plot twists as the stories build.... Fans of Salvatore's work will be enthralled." ( AudioFile)

Excellent bridge book!

The book filled in a few gaps for me that before were only events that had been mentioned but without much elaboration. The author drops little golden nuggets throughout the drizdt series and it was nice for some of those events to be written and compiled.

Entertaining short stories

The stories are fantastic, entertaining and well-written overall, though the details in some contradict those in others. However, the author notes in the beginning that they were written over 25 years so its understandable that they evolved and changed. Most stories are action and have at least one fight, but a few are more introspective. My favorites are the ones narrated by Sean Astin and Will Wheaton, both about dragons, and Guenhwyvar narrated by Tom Felton. Least favorites are probably the one narrated by Ice-T and David Duchovny.

Enchanting

It was a new and amazing experience. Love the cast lots of thunder listen highly recommend.

Mostly great... but

When a narrator is attempting an accent... she probably should not vocalize a distortion of the WRITTEN word when the story never indicates other than a vocal word. Most people with accents fail to restate what they heard in a manner different than stating what is written poorly. Yet, several narrators spoke a distortion of the written word not the character claimed solely vocalized word.

Excellent

Great stories and excellent readers.
Ice T did say saword which was disconcerting but his reading was great. He tells a story like a man of his type would tell a story. I appreciated his candor.
