Pools

Great book read it years ago so wanted to hear it rather than read in my old age

Not very fond of the narrator she read it the same way as I would read to a child

But all in all worth a listen haven't read the other books in the series but will be over next few months

Decent book, horrible narrator

this narrator should do kids books. She is annoying reading this. Not only that she pronounces Tyr as "tire" not "tear"... and it is used a LOT. Where the heck is the editor, director, producer or whatever?! This series is old and caters to entry level of an old DnD system. It is by no means perfect but good enough, but be prepared for the narrator to test your patience.

A great D&D story

This is a great story with good character development. The performance took a little getting used to, but overall good.

Simple enjoyable story, bad narration

So I remember reading this when I was a kid. It is a pretty good low thought dnd book. I can enjoy the book and the story for what it is.

The performer, though, left a lot to desire. Her accents and voice differences for characters were.... bad. Also she pauses when she shouldn’t, and doesn’t when she should. She mispronounced a lot of words and sometimes misspoke and said the wrong word altogether.

Return of a Favorite

Do you have any additional comments?

I loved this Book when I was a kid, It was for me, an excellent step away from the Forgotten Realms regulars and developed some of the most enjoyable characters I ever read in the genre.

If you are a F.R. fan give this a try.

1st Book In The Pools Series

This is the first Book in the Pools series, and I really enjoyed it. I love the way we were introduced to the main three characters by describing how they got their start as Adventures and giving each a goal. If you like D&D you will like this story. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed it!

I was hesitant to purchase the audio book based on previous reviews on the narrator's performance. Listening to the sample I didn't "catch" what others had said as an issue and purchased it. Granted, previous Dungeon & Dragons novels I purchased were voiced by men, i took a few minutes to get used to the difference and warmed to a female voice. Overall, I thought she did a wonderful job in narration and enjoyed listening to a book I haven't read in overall 20 years.

For DnD Enthusiasts

I really like this genre, so, even if its not stellar writing im still hooked on the fantasy world and get pulled into the DnD universe. The story telling and cliffhangers are not near as good as many other books. For example, one telling factor is when it becomes extremely difficult to put the book down at the end of a chapter... i didnt exactly get that feeling for most chapters... but, I was thoroughly entertained. I still looked forward to continue the story and imo this is well worth a read.

A well done sword and sorcery novel.

The sword and sorcery tale was quite enjoyable, just fantasy fun, no agenda or political correctness.

Decent D&D Novel

A d&d book for d&d nerds. Predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless. The mispronunciation of "Tyr" is grating at times, but the synergy between the three protagonists is fun to read/listen to.
