But Maerad has a destiny to fulfill, and Hem issent to the golden city of Turbansk, where he learns the ways of the Bards and befriends a mysterious white crow. When the forces of the Dark threaten, Hem flees with his protector, Saliman, and an orphan girl named Zelika to join the Light’s resistance forces. It is there that Hem has a vision and learns that he, too, has a part to play in Maerad’s quest to solve the Riddle of the Treesong.

Read like a series of lists

The story is fantastic. The narration lacks affect except for generic nondescript foreign accents. I have listened to the other books in this series 2 or 3 times but I haven't been able to listen to this past a few chapters. Why they didn't stay with Eloise Oxer makes no sense to me.

Annoying narration

I really like this series but the narration by Colin Moody really detracts from the enjoyment of this book.

Narration

Liked the book so far, but strangely I found the narration is annoying on any speed setups, the voice has a weird vibration which sounds strange at any given speed, not sure if this is just poorly recorded sound issue

Wonderful book, narration does improve

If you can make it past the jarring narration of the first few chapters, it does settle into a groove after a while. Disappointing that they didn't stick with the narrator of books 1 & 2, but you will get used to it after a time.
