I've listened to the entire trilogy and The Hobbit and absolutely loved hearing them told by Andy Serkis. Now, what do I listen to? Music again?

Story
The company of the Ring is torn asunder. Frodo and Sam continue their journey alone down the great River Anduin - alone, that is, save for the mysterious creeping figure that follows wherever they go. This continues the classic tale begun in The Fellowship of the Ring, which reaches its awesome climax in The Return of the King.

Andy Serkis does a fantastic job of bringing JRR Tolkien's books to life. I can't wait to listen to The Return of the King.

I always loved this book. And hearing it read by Golem himself makes it even better! I'm moving on to The Two Towers now.

A Great Start to a New Series
Reviewed: 05-19-22
I didn't actually read this book. I listened to the audiobook, and I have to admit that listening has probably made this harder for me to review than if I had read it. I don't know how to spell any of the names. I also find my mind wandering a little more when listening than when reading. I took this into account and didn't drop any stars for that.
Garraway does a fantastic job of world-building. I love the idea behind this series. The characters were well-written and enjoyable. I especially enjoyed the Arifel (might be spelled wrong, audio). I might need one of these for myself.
Matt Coles does a fantastic job of narrating. I loved all the unique voices he did and the animated sound of his voice. It didn't bore me at all.
This is definitely one book I would like to read when I get a chance, and I am anxious to see what happens next in the series!

Story
Deep down here by the dark water lived old Gollum, a small slimy creature. I don’t know where he came from, nor who or what he was. He was Gollum—as dark as darkness, except for two big round pale eyes in his thin face. He had a little boat, and he rowed about quite quietly on the lake; for lake it was, wide and deep and deadly cold.

Story
Someone knows my secret and they’re wielding it as the weapon of my execution. I stand accused of poisoning my Gravebriar coven mate. To my fatal regret, I can’t prove my innocence without revealing the truth I’ve long kept hidden: While every other Gravebriar witch are green witches and healers, my magic lies in poisons.

Caster Gravebriar is framed for poisoning her coven mate. On her journey to prove her innocence, she finds herself, friendship, and love.
Great characters, great story, great scenery, poor kitties.
I've only listened to a handful of audio books, so I don't think I'm a good judge of the quality of it, but there were a few places where it sounded like the narrator changed.
