About this listen

Ahren and his companions journey on to Evergreen, finding new courage after the traumas of the Green Sea. Setting off, then, to traverse the continent in search of the missing Paladin Yollock, it isn't long before they find themselves sucked into a maelstrom of adventures involving a woman who has been robbed, a desperate Cape Verstaad grandee, not to mention a cutthroat city which proves itself a veritable nest of ne'er-do-wells. Controlled by the brilliant assassin Reik Silvermantle, this hub of lawlessness and immorality presents Ahren and his friends with one of their greatest challenges . . .

Great story Bad narration

Great story as usual but So disappointed in the change of narrator! I would rather have waited another 12months if it meant we got the original narrator! If only this one made some kind of attempt to do some similar voices, most of his characters sounded exactly the same you really had to concentrate to know who was talking what made it worse was the audio just wasn’t quite right, the base was all off and it was very hard to listen to through external speakers like in the car, I had to max out the volume and turn off the base to be able to hear it properly, please wait for the original narrator for the next books! I would rather wait!

Different narrator to the rest of the series and too much bass in voice

Great story but narrator on this one hasn't done the job as well as Gildart. It took most of the story to associate the character voices to the other books in the series. And names not being the same pronunciation.

Also the bass rattled every sound system I played this on. I had to adjust the settings in my car and eq on my headphones to understand him.

I wish they would rerecord this with Gildart Jackson like the rest of the series for future listeners. I struggled through this one to continue the series and would hate for people to stop just because of the narrator of this book.

Questioning why the narrator change..?

I absolutely LOVE this series - to begin with I was furious about the narrator change - but he is actually pretty great too, so not the end of the world.
Only real thing that annoyed me (not too badly) was his pronunciation of the name of Ahrens bow!!

Great story.

I was disappointed the narrator changed. It was not easy to listen too after the great narration of all the previous books.

Wow

After 10 books and 5 chapters I'm giving up on this series, just cannot deal with this new narrator. Hope all goes well in the end :)

Why Change the Narrator

Why on earth did they change the narrator so far into the series. It took ages before I could listen to the actual story again. This being said the story was once again full of action and surprises.

Not happy about Narrator Change

I have listened to the series and loved the story of these books and it draws you in. I’m definitely not happy about narrator change on book 11., After hearing the same narrator for 10 books just to have it change, it turns you off abit.

The story is good but please waiting for the original narrator would be better

Love the story

Narrator change this far in?

Another great episode in the story. I'm guessing there was an issue with the original narrator, it doesn't make sense changing this far into the series, we are already invested. can we please return to the original one? I'm in 2 minds as to whether I want to keep listening.

This was the least favourite of the books

I didn’t like the reader, changing readers during a series losses the sense of knowing the characters.
