Fun Realmslore Compilation
I always appreciate a Forgotten Realms compilation, and this one was as good as any. However, there were but if these stories that focused on Elaith Craulnober, and I have always found him to be very bland and uninspired, and took away from the otherwise fun stories.
Narrator had a few problems with pitch that made things awkward at places: one moment, it seemed like she was half-whispering, and the next she would read in a normal tone of voice. It made for a difficult listening experience, especially since I have on bone conduction headphones and usually listen at full volume owing to my hearing problems. Having to rewind several times really took away from the experience.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
