It was a lovely story, great voice, bad editting

Where does The Warrior Heir rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I read the books as a teen, and shared them with my girlfriend who loved it. We've heard this reader before and like him, but the editing is not super great, weird pauses.

Best book I've read since Twilight and Harry Potte

What made the experience of listening to The Warrior Heir the most enjoyable?

The story was gripping. I hated to put my listening device down! Also, unlike many books I've listened to lately, there was a happy ending which topped off the experience nicely.

What other book might you compare The Warrior Heir to and why?

I hate to compare things to Harry Potter, but it's the closest I can think of. There's more to the main character and his past than he is originally aware of, and fresh aspects of his past and destiny are revealed as the story progresses.

Would you listen to another book narrated by Robert Ramirez?

Perhaps. He was a good narrator, but not as compelling to listen to as some others I've heard.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

I was particularly moved by the solution two of the main characters found to the difficult problem facing them. I can't say more without spoiling it for someone who hasn't read the book.

Any additional comments?

I definitely recommend the book, even though I'm not giving it 5 stars. It's in the "I like it a lot" category, and I'm extremely picky about what I give 5 stars to.

loved it

despite what the reviews said I went ahead and got the thing and was not disappointed the narrator is not as bad as they say

Such a good voice

Honestly, I loved this story when I first read it. But after hearing this performance by Robert Ramirez, I feel like I deprived myself the first time around. Such a good voice. There were a couple pauses that were a little long, but overall, I can't wait to find more books he read.

great read but ok listening

I enjoyed the book but the narrator was all monotone good story if you can deal with his voice

Mediocre overall, Could use a re-record

Struggled with performance, alot of long pauses and mic problems. Story not too bad otherwise

Great story with a lot more potential.

the story was very good, built a world and ended in a satisfying way. my only comment would be the narrator's performance was flat and and monotone. I still enjoyed the story and would recommend it.

Audio feels a bit dated, but didn't distract from story

Check the sample to hear how it sounds, most issues are just small background noises or pauses that could have been edited away.

My personal favorite was at a certain moment when you could hear a "What?!" in the background at the end of chapter 15 (no spoilers).

Overall, it's worth listening to unless you need perfect audio (comepletely understandable, you will be hearing it for hours).

the ending wasn't what I thought, but I can't wait

the story was tons of fun, and I like the ending, but it wasn't what I expected. I can't wait for the next book. I know there's a trilogy and there's other writings by the same author that are very good.

Great Book, poor reader

To chime in with how most people have felt about Robert from the other book’s reviews, he’s just not a great reader. Heard his phone go off a couple of times (yes the ringer, not just vibrate). Really weird long pauses for no reason. Idk if this is on him or his editing team or what the case is. I don’t have time to sit down and read a book very often, hence why I listen to these audios, so I’m still going to listen to this series (that I’ve luckily already read a while back, just revisiting now) because it’s convenient. But I’m going to be mildly frustrated the whole time, I’m sure.
