The Wyvern's Spur

Forgotten Realms: Finder's Stone, Book 2

De: Kate Grubb, Jeff Novak

Narrado por: Kristin Kalbli

High fantasy doesn’t get better than this - revisit the classic Forgotten Realms in this 2nd book of the Finder’s Stone Trilogy by veteran authors Kate Novak and Jeff Grubb. More than a hunk of junk, the Wyvern’s Spur has moldered in a crypt for 15 generations until now. The Wyvernspur family’s powerful heirloom has been stolen, and grand wizard and patriarch Drone Wyvernspur is the first to fall to the ancient item’s curse. The family fool, Giogi, is left to find it, but even recovering the spur cannot guarantee his clan’s safety. Fortunately, the famous halfling bard Olive Ruskettle and a mysterious and talented mage named Cat are determined to help. But when betrayal and enchantment threaten Giogi’s progress, he must invoke the spur’s awesome might...or become its next victim!

Comic Relief (Enjoy Mat Cauthon you'll like this!)

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I really enjoy this book. I've read it at least 5 times and the audiobook doesn't disappoint. I've always though of it as an goofy episode of a TV show where the writers are just having a good time and a good chuckle. The story is quite good and very humorous. Giogiani Wyvernspur most notable for his catestrophic impersonation of King Azoun and then having his horse devoured by the Red Dragon Myst is the principal character in this book that stays central to one small town. It gives an excelent look into the "home life of adventurers." I really enjoyed listening to Giogi's issues with his family, his friends, coming to terms with his family legacy. But there is also plenty of action and mystery to make it exciting. Its a great mix. I highly recommend this book specifically to anyone who fast fowards through Robert Jordan's Wheel of time Books just to get to the Mat Cauthon chapters!

Great adventure in the forgotten realms

was great to listen too and well voiced. I had always wanted to read these books but never had the time but the books were a great alternative and I'm glad audible had these. (I did hear a cough in the background once and took it as a hidden Easter egg by the narrator lol)

This is the best book I have taken in

The voice work is sublime. The story catching from start to finish.
Simply astonishing through and through.
A+

great book 👍

azure bonds -> finder's bane -> tymora's luck -> the wyvern spur -> the song of the surials

Do it.

Surprisingly better than I expected. Engaging and entertaining. I initially thought it was going to be filler in the series but it stands well on its own.

Pleasantly Surprised!!

I almost didn’t read this book when I saw Alias and Dragonbait weren’t in it. I’m quite happy I read someone’s review that claimed he read it feeling the same way originally and was quite glad he did. The storyline was excellent. Never gave enough info to allow one to foresee events. You have to read clear through to the end before seeing the resolution of every twist. There are familiar characters and new ones, and some you just can’t decide if you love or hate! The end really gets you thinking!! Can’t wait to read the next one!!!!

Fairly Good Followup

This is a fairly good followup to Azure Bonds, focusing on one of the books primary characters (Olive) and a minor character turned main character (Jiogi).

Alias is mentioned a few times, but this is as might have been expected, a continuation of the Finder Stone which ends up in Jiogi's hands at the end of the 1st book.

Significantly more slapstick and love story elements than the first. A bit less "adventure" but plenty of good D&D monsters to be battled.

There is further mystery introduced to the questions started in the first book which are not brought to a conclusion in this one. Enough so that I am interested in starting the third soon.

Not as good as the first one

while I enjoyed hearing about Kat & Jade, the Wyvernspurs almost all of them are either idiots or a real P.I.T.A. I found the story had plenty of face palms and eye rolls.

I loved this one

I really enjoyed this I been going from the first book from the forgotten realms series and this is my favorite book so far

Entertaining with some annoyances.

Overall a good D&D based adventure book. Story is easy to follow with only a few moments of “huh?”. The ending did seem a bit rushed. Some annoying inflections (I.e. the constant “, girl!” Sentences). Overall a good 3.5 stars.
