poorly written fantasy, or a long child's book?
Is there anything you would change about this book?
this is where im confused, the book isnt marketed as a teenage book or a pre teen book, yet nearly all adult (i dont just mean sex or gore here) themes are seemingly purposefully removed. i mean i know the lad is a teenager in the book but i had more logical thinking as a 14 year old than this feller has and a much broader range of emotions.
so this young man and he is young is rubbing shoulder with one of the most supposedly beautiful women in the known world and never one has a slightly raunchy thought. he also has these powers but seems to mope and never apply teenage rage. its like the author was writing a book for children about a teenager but has forgotten what is like to be both? its just poor, and it didnt need to be put out there for the world to see.
there are noble pirates? petty old men, witches that are ugly and monsters galore. its just to much copy and past ideas from other works with no spice or fire to liven it up. so in answer to the question yes i would change lots. either choose a subject audience and tailor your work accordingly, or write a grown up book and do it well . this half half nonsense is just frustrating.
If you’ve listened to books by Shae Ford before, how does this one compare?
i don't be leave so could be wrong. narrator was a good lad in my opinion for grinding through this book. but wasnt an amazing narrator in himself.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
he seemed to have odd accents for people who lived in the same area. why would the main character a hill billy mountain man who hadn't had a bath till recently have perfect English? no sense or thought put in. and all his voices where husky or squeaky. i mean please.
If this book were a film would you go see it?
no infact i would boycott it and go to the hauge court as it would be a crime again humanity
Any additional comments?
if you have a massive amount of money or a credit doing nothing that is the only way i could recommend this book. it lack whit, humor and grace and tries to stand in the big boy park but falls short.

Love this series
Would you consider the audio edition of The Fate's Forsaken Omnibus to be better than the print version?
I haven't 'read' this book but I thoroughly enjoyed the telling of it. The narrator was fabulous and I have no hesitation recommending this audio edition but i don't think anyone can justifiably say audio is better than print so I'm not going to.
What other book might you compare The Fate's Forsaken Omnibus to, and why?
If I had to I guess it might be David Edding's series as they also have gentle stories with love and adventure
Have you listened to any of Derek Perkins’s other performances? How does this one compare?
No, but I will be look for other books he has narrated
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
Epic battles for blood and love

Second book not worth the listen
Story for the second book is very bad, seems like nothing happens the whole time because everyone is too scared to do anything.
It’s disappointing when the first book was better

Struggled to get into this one
I found this book by means of enjoying previous preformed by Derek Perkins.
I struggled to get into the story and 10 hours in I didn't relate or care about any of the characters so gave up!

Fate's Forsaken Omnibus.
Kael a young man who saw his parents slain by the mad King and is being brought up by the villages healer longs to be accepted as a hunter. It's his essential good nature to help others that guides him into trouble whilst at the same time wins him allies.
Shae Ford,s delightful narration of these books draws you on and brings Kaels adventures to life as he tries to find out his 'Quest' that evolves around him without him realising.
Looking forward to 'Dragonsbane'

Wonderful story telling
I really enjoyed the story and especially the narration, defined characters so well. Book 4 awaits.
