À propos de cet audio

Drizzt is back, and facing a world changed forever!

An uneasy peace between the dwarves of Mithral Hall and the orcs of the newly established Kingdom of Many-Arrows can't last long. The orc tribes united under Obould begin to fight each other, and Bruenor is determined to finish the war that nearly killed him and almost destroyed everything he's worked to build.

But it will take more than swords and axes to bring a lasting peace to the Spine of the World. Powerful individuals on both sides may have to change the way they see each other. They may have to start to talk. And it won't be easy.

This book wasn't just the next installment in the long-running saga of the famous dark elf, but the beginning of a bold new trilogy that will help change the face of the Forgotten Realms world forever.

I love this huge series on Audio Book, The narrator is TERRIBLE. Mispronounces names and places. It will take awhile to get through this book and the next two if he continues to narrate.!

Narrator is HORRID!

I am a big fan of the series and this book kept me fascinated in the characters, settings and story. I can't wait for the next one.

Great Series

Story continues and is good, but the narration is irritatingly different. I don't mind the switch in voices as much as I do the pronunciations of places, people and things. It's off putting and a distraction from the story trying to figure out what the heck this new person is referring to when his pronunciation of a place/thing/people is DRAMATICALLY different than previous narrators.

It would be AMAZING if publishers or whoever is responsible for narration could get the narrator to LISTEN to previous books and pronounce the places/things/people similar if not the same as previous. Or even just pop into one of the old video games. Or crack open a D&D book with reference to a place and learn the proper way to pronounce things.

New Narrator = New Pronunciations

I'm not going to talk about the story just read a plot summary online somewhere. As far as the narrator goes, he's very choppy with focusing way too much on the pronunciation of each individual word as he's reading. He gets the names of the characters right but a lot of the names for other things like the names of swords and towns he pronounces those wrong or really obscure compared to Victor Bevine (who in my opinion is the leading Authority on R A Salvatore books).

But I do believe that Mark Bramhall tries his best to deliver as engaging a performance as he can and his performance does improve as you get further into the book. The accents he gives the characters are barely distinguishable at best off the beginning but towards the end it is very clear on who is speaking just based on the accent that he's giving that character. So there's definite Improvement even through this one book.

Still I wasn't a big fan of his tone or the feel of the performance and there was no flow at all. It was impossible to feel captivated by the action scenes because Mark just could not stop with the over emphasis on the pronunciation of each individual word. When Victor Bevine reads, he seems to have an beautiful ability to meld the words and sentences together like Silk.

Nutshell: Mark Bramhall does seem to give it his best and there is signs if improvement as the book continues. Perhaps The Pirate King and The Ghost King will benefit from that.

Narrator is Mediocre does try

the narration almost caused me to quit listening. Victor Bevine did a much better job with the other books.

Poorly narrated

I hate when they change up the narrator it just butchers the experience when suddenly you have to figure out who all the new voices belong to and they reading the names of people and things differently 😒

ugh diff narrator

As expected.

Listening to this new narrator is infuriating. Every person listening to these books loves the story and have committed to hours of listening to Victor Bevine. This new narrator mispronounces every other name as if he never even bothered to learn what he was reading. Khazid’ea is pronounced as hazihea to him and the voices of loved characters are ruined. Brown or sounds annoying and squeaky and Regis sounds like a deep voiced large man. It’s shameful for such an established series to be voiced so poorly and for no one to catch on to all the errors.

I’d give zero stars on performance if possible
