About this listen

In the fourth book of the multi-author Sundering series launched by New York Times bestselling author R.A. Salvatore, Richard Lee Byers introduces Anton Marivaldi - a renowned reaver with an insatiable thirst for bounty and a moral compass that always leads him toward the evil he's never tried. Endless, pounding rain afflict the Sea of Fallen Stars and the coastal regions surrounding it. Harvests are failing, travel and trade are disrupted, and civilized forces are giving way to the deluges caused by the storms. In panic and despair, many have turned to the goddess Umberlee, Queen of the Deeps, offering her sacrifices with hope that they will be spared the inevitable reckoning of her perpetual tempest. Evendur Highcastle, undead pirate captain, risen from the depths to assume the mantle of Umberlee's Chosen, takes advantage of the people's desperation to strike for both spiritual and temporal power in her name. Vying with Highcastle for the hearts and minds of the people is Stedd Whitehorn, a little boy and the chosen of a god thought lost to time: Lathander, the Morninglord. In a time of such upheaval, Stedd’s message of renewal and hope runs in stark contrast to the savage ethos of Highcastle and his waveservants.When Anton captures the boy in order to collect Highcastle's considerable bounty, the reaver is quickly caught in the riptide caused by the sundering of worlds.

Fine story, bad narrator.

I struggled to finish this book because the narrator was so bad. He has a rich voice but his delivery is bad. So much so that it can be hard to tell who is talking, and the lack of breaks between scene changes makes it difficult to get what is going on

Feel bad for the author

I tried to ignore what I read in the reviews about the narrator and come into this neutral and open minded but this chap really has ruined this audio book experience, his voice is so good and has so much potential but sometimes it's like he's only just learned how to read out loud or has forgotten what he's doing? most of the time you don't have a clue what's going on or which character part it is and the pace is all over the place, such a shame because the story seems like a good one, I've read the first 20 odd book in order and started again in audiobook form but doubt I'll read this now.
