Perfect Introduction

These prelude stories are the perfect bite-size introduction to the characters and the world of the series. Peter’s voice is perfect and really brings it all to life. 10/10. Zero criticism. Can’t wait to re-listen to this in tandem with the books now to bring it all together.

A fun addition to the main story, deepening the world and characters.

I had a great time with these preludes, listening to them in sync alongside the first book of the main series. The collection of stories did a phenomenal job deepening the world created, and also offering some greater insight into many of the secondary characters in Stone & Sky. To be fair, while I would recommend this to others who haven't read the main books as a means to get a feel for the writing and world, I'm not sure I would have enjoyed it as much not listening in tandem, alongside the recommended book one chapters. That helped add more depth to the arcs.
But either way, it's a fun and well-written collection of stories. If you're into anything old-school fantasy, you'll really enjoy this.

Great introduction to cool characters

This is a fun set of stories introducing the characters from Stone & Sky and the narrator does a masterful job. Really enjoyed these! :)

A great way to get to know key characters!

I listened to this after I listened to the first book so it gave me great insight to many of my favorite characters from the first book. This book is one you can listen to stand alone or you can follow the storyline and go between the two books since before each chapter begins it tells you which chapter this specific story is linked to. Either way great stories and a fantastic way to introduce many of the main characters!
