Vinus Solamnus wrote: The practice of magic is secretive, inherently deceitful, and dishonorable. Those who practice magic are forbidden to enter the knighthood, nor should they be connected to the knighthood in any way.
The boy with a rare gift for magic was born in Solamnia, a nation that despised and distrusted mages. His father tried to beat the magic out of him. The knights threatened him with imprisonment and exile. He endured tragedy and heartbreak. Yet he persisted with his magic, for the sake of the magic.
One friend stood by him when others persecuted him, a young man who was studying for the knighthood. No one could understand this unlikely friendship.
The knight was Huma. The boy took the name, Magius. The two would one day become famous in Solamnic history, fighting together to defeat the Queen of Darkness.
But that future is distant, far down the River of Time.
For now, this is the story of an unlikely friendship that would one day change the world.

I grew up with DL and read the original trilogy as it was released and they were and still are, truly magical books. The relationships between the characters, the edge of your seat adventures and the literal heartbreak at times was astounding and makes this trilogy truly one of the best of all time.
This latest release is awful and is not helped by the ridiculous narration.
Firstly the story: it’s a well trodden path that those familiar to Krynn know well, unfortunately the telling here is extremely dry, and told from 10000 feet, without personality, like reading a history book, but that isn’t the only problem. The character’s relationships are forced, don’t read true and at times over simplistic and childish. Magius comes across as a moron and Huma isn’t much better. I could go on but won’t.
Secondly the Narrator affects stupid voices for the characters which makes them sound like they’re out of an 1980’s cartoon.
If this was a children’s book I could perhaps forgive it, however it is not as some of the material is pretty dark but dealt with in a glittering way.
If you are a fan and want to read it I’d skip the audiobook and actually read it. That said I wouldn’t bother and re-read the original instead.
Not Very Good!
