About this listen

When Jorn Vjostersson returns to his native village after a stint in prison, he can’t decide which new addition is worse: the abusive imperials who want to sell everything that isn’t nailed down; or the peace-and-love hippies who think eating magic mushrooms is a form of protest.

The only positive is that he lands unrestricted access to flying, rideable reptiles called wyrms. He'd leap atop one and start a rebellion by himself, but things aren’t so simple. Wyrms are no match for the imperials’ court wizards, nor can they take on an army of professional wyrmriders.

What Jorn can’t know is that it's all about to change, because there’s more to the mushrooms than it seems, and the peace-and-love bunch has their own plans.

The Elder Wyrm is inspired by classic fantasy works and is imbued with dark, goofy, and dry humor.

For adults.

consistently excellent narration.
Story - 3.5 stars. A very imaginative story with Jorn being flung into all sorts of places and situations and slowly being forced to figure out things important to their world. It was sometimes rather like being on some weird drugs as listener, some of the new events and people were really bizarre and didn't seem to fit the story very well until everything was somehow tied together at the end. Jorn wasn't a likeable character to begin with, but he improved as the story continued.
