Not the best of what Dragonlance has to offer

Hard to finish this one... the narrator did a great job with what he had to work with.

exceptional narration

narration was great. he made different voices for characters and kept them up flawlessly. awesome job. the story itself was good as well. maybe not as great as the traditional writing from Weis and Hickman but still good. a lot of people say to skip this series because it's not Weis or Hickman and the story isn't good and isn't needed to continue on. i disagree. I read the first book of the next trilogy and felt I had missed too much so I came back to do this trilogy. I'm glad I did. dont take the debby downers opinion. read it and enjoy. I will keep this spoiler free but I just want to say there are alot of shocking things that mess with your emotions in this book. almost too much. let's just say this writer keeps it real.

Narration in terrible

I hope this guy doesn't have kids he reads to. And I wish these narrators would at least learn some background on what they are reading.. Almost all the names are pronounced wrong. And whoever let him chew gum while recording should be fired...

a Dragon's Tale

I had read this many years ago. Loved it then. The narration was done very well. Great story and performance.

Love it

All in all, I enjoyed this book a lot more the second time around.

Yes, there are about four incorrect facts in the book, but I see this as an editing failure rather than a writing one. Yes, some of the dialogue is a bit on the ridiculous side. But it's still a wonderful story with great characters. The new ones are well developed and the existing ones are true to their sources.

Highly recommend to any Dragonlance fan, especially those who have thus far dodged the Fifth Age.

great old book!

the narration was on point, 1 reader doing different voices for each character and creature, very impressive! and great story, had to immediately get the next book!

not very exciting.

if you've already listened to the story where these dragons are defeated, don't listen to this one. very pointless story lines and abruptly ends.

Great adventure

This was an epic adventure and my first Dragonlance book! More to come! I can’t wait!

narrator is terribe

annoying narrator nearly ruins a decent book. his voices and characters are terrible. he does a redneck kender.

Great Story!

Best DL story since Chronicles! Excellent, well developed characters and story. A bit of a odd start, but soon became a very engrossing epic! The narrator was pretty good, maybe my second favorite behind Richard Topol. Although, like some other have noted...the dragon and kender voices are a head scratcher. The dragon voices make me think of a constipated and irritable elderly person who has run out of prune juice. The kender...sound like hillbillies...a voice much more suited for gully dwarves. It throws me off when I envision Blister, who is a very likeable character. Other than that...spot on performance by the Josh Clark! Looking forward to the next book!
