Reseñas de la Crítica

David Colacci is admirable in his narration of this epic fantasy, which is Tolkienesque in its dwarves and elves and magic and quests.... Road of the Patriarch is a bit more adult than the usual fare from this author. This is a gritty and bloody book, with a bit of sex as well." ( AudioFile)

meh

A narrator mispronouncd almost every character name and place. Victor bevine is by far the best narrator for these books. I'm not quite sure why they switched to David Colacci anyway. I can't wait to get to the next book so I could listen to Victor again, by far the definitive Drizzt. He even mispronounced DRIZZT name, he called it DRITZT! made me cringe every time he called him that.... it's like, spend an hour and research the pronunciation for your JOB... -_- the source material was amazing though... thousand orcs will be amazing no doubt. Victor Bevine is back!

Great Book!!! Only one disapointment

Would you listen to Road of the Patriarch again? Why?

Sure, eventually. Great Story and characters

What did you like best about this story?

Character development and past history

What three words best describe David Colacci’s voice?

Good but a bit of a lack of range. Victor Bavine was better in this regard. He is a good narrator though

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

The first 2 books were Victor Bavine. Why change for the 3rd. The change in style was a bit jarring. Other than that it was a great book.

The narrator isn't as good as the rest of the book

Victor Bevine is a better narrator, though it still was a good book and I recommend the series to anyone

Excellent book, jarring change in narrators

I never expected to get to the third book in a trilogy and it suddenly be narrated by a different person. Not only that, he pronounced almost every single word differently than Victor Bevine, which just added to the strangeness.

At any rate, this series is what I now refer people to when they say "you can't do an 'evil' D&D campaign!" because this book exemplified one perfectly! Loved how the book had interconnected motivations and everybody had their reasons to go along, right up until they didn't.

not terrible

thank goodness Victor Praveen took over, I know another review said that and I agree with him. the narrator did not do bad but not near as good as Victor . as for the story it could have been left out of the whole thing but it was neat to try to give some Origins backstory to some of the more interesting opposition

loved it.

it was so good. uayaya ajaja ahaha ahaha ahaha Hahah Shah hahaha hah haha hah

Awesome

I loved the story. I believe the voice of story teller lessened the story some butt I still enjoyed the story.

great story

I enjoy the story but I hate when they change the narrator half way through the series

Good end to the sellsword trilogy

I liked it, but why change the narrator at the last book? The characters were set, their tones well engrained into my brain. I almost didn't start really once I heard how different the characters sounded and the inflections changed who they were. but it's still a good story worth the listen.

changed narrators

the narrator is fine, but it changes the feel from the rest of the series. Victor Bevine is the voice of this series.
