About this listen

In the second audiobook of the Companions Codex, the latest series in R.A. Salvatore’s New York Times best-selling saga of dark elf Drizzt Do’Urden, the orcs of Many Arrows decide to take advantage of the chaos wrought by the Sundering to reignite a blood feud first brought to life in the phenomenal best seller The Thousand Orcs.

mis-accenting

Bevine seemed to struggle a lot with the distinct voices this time around... occasionally confusing one character for another, changing a characters voice throughout different parts of the book, and (who could blame him for this, though...) giving different voices from his past narrations.

I am excited once again to be a Drizzt Fan!

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

If you were ever a fan of the Compainions of the Hall. Then know this, they have all of thier spunk back!

What did you like best about this story?

The fight sceens make me feel like I am there and a part of the fight. Regis has a backbone and is earning his keep. The best Part . . .Someone learns to have a little fun.

Which character – as performed by Victor Bevine – was your favorite?

Regis. Hands down

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

It's all about the support system.

Any additional comments?

I cannot wait for the next book.

R.A. Salvatore did another amazing job

I've always really enjoyed reading R.A. Salvatore's tales. Victor Bevine did a great job bringing the tale to life!

Drizzle FTW

Salvatore never fails to impress. I've been reading this series for over 15 years and each book continues to build amazing characters.

Excellent

Great book leaves you wanting the next one, as with most of Salvatore’s books. Can’t wait to listen to Vengeance of the Iron Dwarf. Victor Bevine is awesome as always. Highly recommend the companions codex

Great Story Bad Narrator

How am I the only one who isn't thrown off by Bevine"s inability to pronounce "lived" and "bade" correctly? Why doesn't someone in the studio correct him? It's utterly baffling. If Salvatore wasn't such a good story teller I'd stop listening because of Bevine. Sigh.
