Ive read the book decades ago which was great, was looking forward to listening to it, but the narration was so terrible, I couldn't get past chapter 1

Narrative is everything

not sure why they used a different narrator.
never sounded right.
Tas.. short for Tasslehoff.. (tassle)
different narrator kinda hurt story.

Excellent story but awful narrator

Best read after the first Dragonlance trilogy beginning with Dragons of Autumn Twilight. The narrator for that first trilogy was excellent but for these next 3 novels the narrator is awful; flat, lacking expression, monotonous, and with inconsistent pronunciation. One extremely irritating aspect of this narrator is that many critical characters names are butchered. For example, when a character Tasslehoff Burrfoot's name is shortened to Tas as it tends to be in the novel the narrator pronounces it "Toz." He also says "RASTlin" in place of "Raistlin" and "Strum" instead of "Sturm" which will drive any lover of the Dragonlance books nuts.

There's also some background hiss or static that becomes irritating.

This and the next two books in the Twins Dragonlance series need to be redone with the narrator who did a good job with Chronicles to narrate these.

The first 6 Dragonlance books are brilliant but only the initial three have been narrated to a good standard. The poor narration for the Twins Dragonlance series just makes a wonderful story seem flat and uninteresting. If you want to enjoy the Dragonlance books read them on Kindle or hardcopy and avoid the audiobooks after the first 3 in the series.

Disappointing.

Did not like the narrator and some of the pronunciation of the names or places but if you want the whole story it needs to be listened to.

Must of got a free Narrator

Tarz or Tuss? karramonnd? The whispered shouting and screaming was weird and off putting. Terrible performance.

This Saga, keeps the story alive.

The wonderful story was soured a little bit by the change of narrators since the last book series. While he tells the story well, his vocalisation of the characters is lacking variety which leaves a monotone, less dynamic feel. It made it hard to keep listening for longer periods of time.

very good

my only gripe is that this narrator used different pronunciation for a lot of the characters and places than the narrator of the previous books (I don't know who is more correct) but that inconsistency irked me the whole book.

Brings back memories of my youth.

Still, like all the Dragonlance books one that can be cherished reading or now listened to.

Good book, poor narration

Enjoyed the book, however the lacklustre narration, inconsistent pronunciation, and zero attempt to alter voices even slightly to help distinguish who was speaking to whom, really let this down for me.
