Critic reviews
"[Eddings] draws once more on his particular strengths, combining heroic yet humorous characters with exotic settings and tangled politics to create a fast-moving fantasy that will appeal to his large readership." ( Library Journal)

Pure BOMBASTIC fantasy
Could not get over the narration and the level of fantasy thrown at you from the beginning.
The narration is awful, way to bombastic.
You can take a listen in the sample and see if you can stand it.

Awful narration
One of my favourite series ruined by truly awful story telling. Lasted 2 chapters before I quit it.

Old school fantasy but with terrible narrator
I read this many years ago, thought it would be good and nostalgic to revisit on audible. The story itself is still good, classic fantasy but the writing is abit dated now. Still enjoyable if it wasn't for the narrator, I don't know who thought he was a good choice as he is terrible. Might be me being English but I struggle with American narrators. The voices he puts on are all similar variations and some are just downright annoying, which is even more annoying when it's a main character. They should have got someone like Sean Barret, Simon Ambrose or Steven Pacey to do it.

Dreadful narration
We'll gloss over the monotone delivery and minimal characterisation and get straight to the thing I can't get over.
The narrator pronounces the word "worship" as if it was a naval destroyer, he says "warship". It's infuriating and the crowning glory of a dreadful performance.

Good book, horrendous narrator
as the title says, almost unlistenable bacause of the narrator.
He has the most monotone voice that makes it almost impossible to differentiate between characters and if it is supposed to be an intense scene or just a normal conversation,

This should be a fantasy classic!
absolutely an awesome story, knights, magic and a really nice twists. keeps me coming back to it. This version is really nicely read, I am about miffed about the random music bits at the beginning of some chapters.

Nothing Spectacular
The story is fairly shallow and tropey, characters don't have a massive amount of depth. Kind of gives Saturday-morning cartoon vibes.
I was very disappointed that the only two non-white cultural analogues are universally stupid or evil without challenge or exception. Magic also seems poorly defined, being the ultimate deus ex machina whenever the plot demands but seemingly nobody's first solution to any problem despite its obvious utility.
As for the narrator the dialogue is fine but I found the narration itself in between is oddly stilted.
Overall it was fine, not bad enough to make me turn it off but not good enough that I'd ever want to revisit it.
