![]() If I ever make it through one I will review Book Two. I have unfortunately purchased book one and two. I had hoped that a man who helped fuel fantasy games & novels would have done a better job. Now as my eyesight betrays me I listen to audio books. The second book has a new narrator but it's not the narrator that's the issue here its the writing. he does a good job but he is let down by what he is forced to read. ![]() The narrator tries to breath life into it but is hampered by inane & trite material.

The interactions between the "hero and the maiden fair" get a bit overdrawn and overacted - it feels like watching a bad high school play - but these moments pass and you are then submerged back into the real content of the story. I typically shy away from fantasy novels that broach upon any interaction between a "real world of today" and a fantasy realm, but Greenwood did a passable job of keeping this as a sub-item in the overall content. Please visit your library for the next part of this audiobook." Beyond that, however, I was pleased enough with the novel. Instead, once you finish, it feels as if you should be hearing the prompt "You have completed this part, but not the complete audiobook. I have to agree with the review from "Joel from Canada" - there doesn't seem to be a real completion to this particular book.
