Very good book
Good story and a good performance. The only thing I didn't like was the f...ing music in the beginnig and the end. Enoying and distracting.

Great book
The usual excitement and suspense, with a great storyline,the only small criticism I would have is Walker ( one of the main characters )was a little overplayed

Pity the book is not unabridged
Loved the series for a long time, but the narrator could definitely have been much better. A favourite from years back, unfortunately totally spoiled for me by being unabridged. The whole story is much richer than this.

excellent audio book
I read this book many years ago. As an audio book I think I enjoyed it even more. My only criticism would be the narrator's interpretation of the voices of the characters. But overall 5 stars.

Gutted
So disappointed when I discovered to little to late that this was not an unabridged version of one of my favourite series growing up.
Sorry Sam Fontana but I could not listen to your narration past the 2 minute mark!
Sincerely hope that an unabridged version is released with Scott Brick narration. I have been listening to the complete Shanarra chronicles in order and now feel I can’t go on☹️. It’s a good job I have read the books before.

Awfull narration
The narrator was ridiculously overdramatising voices and was almost comical at times. frankly dissapointing and ruined the book. I absolutly love the auther so it was a shame to have such a poor performance. The narrator could have done with dialing down the American action movie voice over impressions by about 50%.

Truly awful narrator
I would much have preferred an unabridged version although I'm not sure i would've been able to put up with the narrator that long. It's a shame that an unabridged version wasn't available though. Ive read the book and missing so much out definitely is to the detriment of the story.
The narration was appalling, there is no other way to describe him I'm afraid. Most of the male characters were delivered in an exaggerated tone such as announcers awards on tv as though reading a notice. The female characters were delivered in a similarly strange manner whikst the dwarf was intoned as though he was a character in a children's novel. Awful just awful.
