Sands of Nezza: Adventurers Wanted, Book 4

I listened to the first 3 books in 1 week and fell in love and when i saw that book 4 was out i jumped at it not releasing they changed narrators, it was weird at the start but got use to it. The story was good, a nice ending to the series or a good book to follow on from they can go anyway they want.

After listening to the first two books I could not get into this one as well the narrator was not a good pick for this if they could not get back the person who did the first two. Felt like the narrator rushed the telling of the story

The best part is the excitement of the book. The worst part is that Alex seems to be a hundred years old. His progression from the last book to this one was too abrupt. He seemed to grow in wisdom, maturity, skill, and experience almost overnight. It was hard reconciling this Alex with the Alex from the previous books. The narration is the worst part. The voice is too old sounding for a supposed older teenager. It gave the whole book a 'blah' feel.

Absolutely. It may just be the narration that made the characters seem strange.

I didn't like it at all. Sorry! I don't like saying that. His voice was too mature. Alex seemed like an old man. There were other characters where he didn't seem to get a voice down. For example, one man sounded Scottish, the next time, it's not quite the same. In all honesty, the narration turned me off completely. After the first 3 books had a different man, who also took a little getting used to, to change the voice now, at book 4, was not good. He's also very flat sounding. The overriding emotional tone of Alex and others was vague disdain. It's hard to explain though. There wasn't enough feeling. You can hear excitement, happiness, disappointment, interest, annoyance, etc. in people's voices. A lot of that seemed to be missing from this reading.

Of course. I'd love to hear more Adventurer stories.

The story was well put together. Forman is a great writer and I would probably read anything he put out there.

Alex coming into being a true wizard and earning respect everywhere he goes.

Serpent in the desert

Yes

R.C Bray was good, but the change was not. Please go back to E.B. Stevens for the next book. The one thing I did like about Bray is that he didn't make Alex sound SO unsure of EVERYTHING that came out of his mouth like Stevens did. Bring back Stevens, but give Alex some confidence. That said, the writing and story were still very well done.

The adventures of Alex Tucker and how he is coping with his new found skills. The adventures were wonderfully written. Fairies, troll, etc.

I was so disappointed in the change of narrator. If I was more aware of the change in narrator voices I would have not bought the last book. The other three in the series would've been sufficient. Usually I like to listen to series books and this is the first one that I was very disappointed. I got to chapter 3 and didn't listen to the rest.<br/>I won't make that mistake again. I will check the narrator.

This book was the fourth in the series by M. L. Forman. I listened to them all back-to-back. The first three were read by a fantastic narrator, but I was so disappointed in the narration of this book that I almost did not want to listen to it after the first couple chapters. The story itself was good, but lacked something of the excitement from the first three. That very well may have been to the dryness of the narrator, though.

I like the progression of Alex's character in becoming a stronger wizard, and his mentoring of Tom.

The reading was dry and lacked much for inflection. Many of the voices sounded alike. It was hard to feel involved in the story, and I felt like I was forcing myself to listen, because I wanted to see how Alex moved through his fourth adventure.

The story is worth reading, but I would say that the narrator makes the story not worth the time listening.

If M.L. Forman has more of this series, or will be writing more, I hope the producers go back to the original narrator, who was awesome.

good story but had a hard time when they change reader why must they do that

This book is a paragon of adventure fantasy. In the previous three books the main character, Alexander Taylor, has been learning what power he has and how to use it. In this book he is the overpowered wizard who finally uses his abilities to their fullest.

P.S. the narrator is different than the other books so that might take some getting used to.

Adventure, Intrigue, Mysterious.

Alex, as always, being the main character in the series. My favorite also because we are seeing him so rapidly grow as not just a character but a person. (Though, Sklad secondly because he is one of my favorite recurring characters!)

More emotions, more distinctiveness between characters, women's voices lacked/all sounded roughly the same.

Yes

The sudden change from E. B. Steven's to Bray was unexpected. Bray did fine, but not compared to the other books. Not just his performance, but the editing done later on. It felt like the entire production lacked compared to the last three books, and was overall very disappointing. Again, if you don't look at it in the context of the prior three books, it wasn't bad. But it was hard to be excited by this performance when it was so lackluster compared to the quality of the first three books.
