Reseñas de la Crítica

"The story is exciting and its action fast-paced as the forces of good and evil are pitted against one another... Sure to delight the series' fans." Booklist)

Accent is annoying

I liked the book but the narrator is horrible at accents and should not do them. The hawk brothers sounded Greek, Transylvanian or like a Yiddish grandpa. Or a combination of all. I r was hard following a conversation between the hawk brothers because they all sounded the same. His voice is nice. Just don’t do accents

Slow starter

The story line pulled together from other Valdemaren series, if you had not read them previously it would have been less interesting. The narrator was difficult to listen to. I prefer his other narrators.

Good story, ok narrator

As always, a good story by Mercedes Lackey!

Narrator over emotes a bit, and you never quite forget you're listening to someone else read, and just get lost in the story. Also, the narrator didn't listen to any previous books based in Valdemar and pronounces names differently than other narrators do. Why does this even happen?? Why not get all readers on the same pronunciation page?

Good but I feel like the story needs more editing

The story and its idea are good, but I really felt like it took way to long to introduce the characters and the environment. Six hours into the 13 or so hour audiobook and The reader was still not given the arch of the plot, but a lot of repeated information. The book finally started picking up at about nine hours in, but I felt it left the climax and the conclusion feeling rushed and under detailed compared to the early on description. I did like the story, I really just wish it were better balanced.

The narrator had a good variety of voices, and did great at the beasts, however he portrayed what felt like a condescending or arrogant tone throughout a good portion of the book. I felt this tone would have had a bigger impact if it were less used as it made the book frustrating to listen to. No one likes being spoken to that way, including the listener.

Great I have read all of Mercedes Lackey books.

I hope that they do the other two books in the series . I have them in book form but its great to be able to listen while driving or busy with work .

Worth the Wait

I have been waiting for this series to finally be put into audiobook format since I got an Audible account. I've seen a lot of bad reviews about narrator, but I think he does a great job. You DO have to get used to his style though, but it's the same for all new narrators for me.
I got lost in the story just like when I read the books. I'm so excited to listen to the rest of the series.

Really enjoyed this book!

The authors are two of my favorites and the actors reading was really well done.

Quality of storytelling

the quality of storytelling and narration are best I've ever seen. The story is engaging and compelling.

The storyline is interesting; narrator over emphasized words and use unbelievable accents, detracting from the narration.
