Loved it!

I've listened to many Sanderson books but this was first dramatized version and I don't know how I'll go back. The immersion is hypnotic and I did not want to stop listening. The story is incredible, whimsical, unique and rememberable. Every character is played out so well, kudos to everyone involved on this project. If you're on the fence about getting it, don't be just get it! You will not be disappointed in the dramatized version.

Obsessed - the Princess Bride meets Dr. Who

Best book I’ve read in a long time. It’s rekindled my love of stories. I will for sure be reading all of this author’s books!!!!

Phenomenal performances, phenomenal journey

Whether you’re new to Sanderson’s work completely, or a seasoned Cosmere vet - if you like fantasy or whimsical journeys, you ought to love this book.

I adored the performances and execution here by Graphic Audio, stellar work by all involved.

Delightful, Start to Finish!

Fantastic, fun, and sincerely heartwarming! It's an excellent performance, and some of the best use of music and SFX I've seen in dramatized version so far.

A fun whimsical book

A little hard to follow at times but I enjoyed myself. Great amount of twists and turns

Awesome story! Some voice actors didn't deliver though

*There's some spoilers at the bottom of the review.

This is a great book! a must read for all of the Cosmier fans. I love the way that important are dropped on a whim.
There were a lot of good voice actors, especially Tress, but some were a little painful. Salay's actor didn't have any emotion and Crow's was only a little better.

*A little spoilers bellow



I would have really liked the voice of Huck to be different actor. It was easy to me to tell who Huck really was because they had the same voice. It made the reveal at the end not very much of a reveal at all and I'd have preferred to try to piece it together with the clues that were given.

Nothing beats Graphic Audio!

After loving the book, I just HAD to get this dramatized version, and it enhanced the story!! Love it!

Amazing Cosmere Story

This story is a masterpiece in world building, foreshadowing, and payoff. Each element that gets introduced usually gets some kind of payoff later and it's wonderful. The story stands alone, but is even more fun if you have several Cosmere novels under your belt. Especially knowing WHO the narrator is, it makes it more fun and enjoyable to listen to his often wise or humorous off-comments.

The production and voice team did an amazing job of performing and mixing together the audio and sound together. It was so cool to hear a door open, or a ship bump a dock, rather than the narrator say "the door opened" or the "ship bumped the dock". I enjoyed every minute of listening to this book and production. Well done!

Delightful

This book is playful and fun! I was genuinely (and pleasantly) surprised by the dramatic change in tone from other Sanderson books.

It’s difficult to make me laugh out loud, and even more difficult to get a laugh out of my husband, but we both found ourselves chuckling- especially in response to specific characters.

Hopefully Mr. Sanderson writes more stories like this one. I will gobble them up as quickly as he can churn them out.

Amazing Tale!!!

Brandon Sanderson is an awesome storyteller. Took one chapter and I was hooked!! On to the rest of the cosmere!
