good, but a few misses

#1 shame they changed narrators for the last book.
#2 I found vlora became petulant and childish at times which for the worlds best general didn't sit right
#3 the last section of the book ran out of legs and punch.. overall still enjoyed series very much,

A brilliant finish to the series

I've loved this series, and I hope that Brian learns to write faster. Pity about the need for a new narrator, but he did well.

Great finish to the trilogy.

Was a great story, but the only reason I gave it a lower score was the switching out of the reader. Christian Rodska made these trilogies for me, he's characters and voices were amazing and to switch him out on the last book was truely devastating!!! not that old mate wasn't good, it's just he wasn't Christian. he's made it for me. Maybe they'll remake it with him again! But it's too late for me.

great series, great narrators

Despite the narrator changing, both have done the series justice. Worth a read. I hope there will be a next generation in the powder mage series. I feel the next series might go the way of steam punk…

Great book, poor narration.

Great story displaying the brilliance of McCellan. It is however let down by the narrator who does not meet the high standard Christian Rodska set, often not catching the essence of the characters. This book needs his touch to be a brilliant audio book.

New narrator

The new narrator isn't as good as the first one imo, but he's still good

Excellent Series

Addictive, beautiful and satisfying. Brian McClellan is a truly excellent writer and the perfect example of a student outperforming the teacher (Brian was a student of Brandon Sanderson).

Great writing and finish but narration is a miss

Like the other readers, I was very disappointed with the narration. Most of the characters sounded the same so it was difficult to understand who was speaking. I bought the Kindle version.
It would be good to get Christian Rodska could narrate this final book.

Disappointing

I loved all the other books in both series with Christian Rodska narrating - just really disappointed that they changed the narrator for the final book. Made it unlistenable for me and I didn’t even get half way- going to buy the kindle version and read it to see how it ends.

I’m sure this narrator would be fine if he did a whole series - but the change just took me completely out of the story - all the characters are completely different - how does Styke now have some stuck up nobleman voice??? It’s like this narrator didn’t even listen to the Rodska versions - if you’re going to change narrator at least they should listen to the previous and try to stay in the same realm for the characters.

Very unfortunate
