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 . . .

Good but different

I finished this listen this afternoon. Loved being back in this world and hearing the next part of the story.

I know others have mentioned the change in narrator. Admittedly it takes some getting used to. However, Stuart Crank is very good in his own right. My mind is still programed to expect Gildhart Jackson though.

Rounding this off, Enjoyable story and can't wait to listen to the next one.

Why a different narrator?

Spoiled by a different narrator giving different voices to everyone. Got through it as quick as I could to get back to the proper readings

Great story. Creative and gripping storyline . Poor narration.

Wow!! I was amazed by how terrible the narration was. Did the narrator do absolutely no research? Often the characterisation of the voices bore no relation to the characters’ history, background or personality. I’m sure the accents were not even stable for each character. No effort was made to use the same pronunciation of names as the narration of previous books in the series. It was one thing to have such poor narration but how did it pass the editing process? Unlike the previous books it was difficult to know who was speaking, so often I had to listen to some passages more than once. A great example of why not to bit off more than you can chew. Hopefully this narrator will stick to something simpler next time like a biography, as he actually has a nice voice to listen to. I can give him that. Saying all that, it was still worthwhile listening to the book because of the story.

Why change narrator?

I have been following this story now for some time. Changing narrator at this point ruins flow. I mean why is Trogadon suddenly Scottish?

New narrator is a mistake

great storyline but the change of narrator really do ruin the experience.

He is simply too different from the previous one. Way too posh and dry

God awful reader

I love the story, which as it’s the 11Th book in the series is pretty obvious but this performance was appalling! Why did they use a different performer instead of Gildart, the voice I’ve come to rely on for this series? It was as if the performer had never listened to a single book prior to reading this himself, the voices were wrong and lacked depth and the pronunciations were nothing alike the previous 10 books! Thankfully the next book returns to Gildart as the performer!

Change of Narrator but...

...if it was a necessary change, it wasn't a totally bad one - just needed a few chapters to get used to slight changes in character voices.

I'm really enjoying the series and will be 'story grieving' when I finish them all!
