About this listen

Ahren and his companions journey on to Evergreen, finding new courage after the traumas of the Green Sea. Setting off, then, to traverse the continent in search of the missing Paladin Yollock, it isn't long before they find themselves sucked into a maelstrom of adventures involving a woman who has been robbed, a desperate Cape Verstaad grandee, not to mention a cutthroat city which proves itself a veritable nest of ne'er-do-wells. Controlled by the brilliant assassin Reik Silvermantle, this hub of lawlessness and immorality presents Ahren and his friends with one of their greatest challenges . . .

I didn’t like the reader, changing readers during a series losses the sense of knowing the characters.

This was the least favourite of the books

The narration. Not enough distinction in character’s voices. Wishy washy voice of narrator. These are paladins and warriors and magicians and kings and queens. Not someone’s grandmother!

The unsuitable change of narrator

I much prefer Gildart Jackson. Words in this recording are pronounced differently to all the other ones (and inconsistently) which was frustrating to hear. Storyline is good and a key part of the series so worth persevering.

Narrator didn’t do it justice.

Great story but narrator on this one hasn't done the job as well as Gildart. It took most of the story to associate the character voices to the other books in the series. And names not being the same pronunciation.

Also the bass rattled every sound system I played this on. I had to adjust the settings in my car and eq on my headphones to understand him.

I wish they would rerecord this with Gildart Jackson like the rest of the series for future listeners. I struggled through this one to continue the series and would hate for people to stop just because of the narrator of this book.

Different narrator to the rest of the series and too much bass in voice

Real shame in the change of narrators, I struggled to stay Interested with the loss of the distinctive characters voices

Good writing, but didn’t enjoy narrator

Great story as usual but So disappointed in the change of narrator! I would rather have waited another 12months if it meant we got the original narrator! If only this one made some kind of attempt to do some similar voices, most of his characters sounded exactly the same you really had to concentrate to know who was talking what made it worse was the audio just wasn’t quite right, the base was all off and it was very hard to listen to through external speakers like in the car, I had to max out the volume and turn off the base to be able to hear it properly, please wait for the original narrator for the next books! I would rather wait!

Great story Bad narration

I have been really enjoying the whole series so far. That said, the change in narrator for this book is somewhat confusing. Having listened to many hours of storytelling, and enjoying the characterisations so far, the sudden change is somewhat disjointing. It’s halted the flow of the story to a large extent.
Chris’s narration is not bad, but different to gildhert and Chris does not have the range of voices I have grown accustomed to.
I actually began listening to this series as I had listened to Gildhert, and enjoyed his narration of other books, so looked for further books he had read.
The marks I have given reflect drop in standard by comparison to the other books in the series. Whilst the story is equal to the other books, the presentation has made it miss its mark

Strange transition with narrator

Loving the series but changing the narrator almost made me stop listening. It’s like hearing new characters again.

Changed narrator

Why on earth did they change the narrator so far into the series. It took ages before I could listen to the actual story again. This being said the story was once again full of action and surprises.

Why Change the Narrator

I have listened to the series and loved the story of these books and it draws you in. I’m definitely not happy about narrator change on book 11., After hearing the same narrator for 10 books just to have it change, it turns you off abit.

The story is good but please waiting for the original narrator would be better

Love the story

Not happy about Narrator Change
