About this listen

The Knights of the Gabala were legendary protectors of the Nine Duchies - until they disappeared through a demon-haunted gateway between worlds. Manannan, the Coward Knight, held back. Now he lives in torment.

Yet war is coming to the Duchies - and with it Manannan's chance for redemption. But to regain his honour and save his land, he will have to confront his deepest fear. He must ride through the gateway and seek out his lost companions in the unknown world beyond. And the secret he will learn there will tear his soul apart.

Love the story, voice is great too. Highly recommended. Many poignant reminders for our times in this story: the perils of othering people. Reminiscent of 1930s. One of DG’s best I’d say.

Excellent

I listen to a lot of audiobooks and despite some of the reviews I think this was a perfect narration of a great book. The narrator chose voices for characters well and gave the text a great life

Well read

Narrator was inconsistent with some of the characters voices, though for the amount of characters in the book it would be difficult to remember them all.
Aside from this it is definitely one of the better audiobooks I have listened to. Some books don’t translate well to audio or have poor narration, but this is definitely worth the listen.

Worth the listen

Being one of the first books I had read from D,G, it was great to delve into it again with this great narration.

An Epic Tale

The story is good, not Genmell's finest writing as he definitely improves in later books but still a good "read". However the narration is very measured and slow but character voices are good. I found speeding up the audio to 1.2 made a big difference in the flow.

increase speed of audio to improve the narration

The narrator Ruins the story unfortunately, most characters sound like posh English teats and others sound like they’re your next door neighbour, very hard to distinguish between one character and another.
waste of my money

Narrator ridiculous

Not much to like as the narration detracted from the story. The characters seemed quite stupid.

Terrible narration. Painful to Listen to
