The Kingless Land

The Band of Four Series, Book 1

By: Ed Greenwood

Narrated by: Wanda McCaddon

Aglirta is known as the Kingless Land. Once prosperous and peaceful, it has now fallen into lawlessness, studded with feuding baronies engaged in a constant state of war. The only hope for peace lies in the legend of the Sleeping King, destined to rise and restore peace when the Dwaerindim stones are recovered.

Lady Embra Silvertree is the sorceress daughter of a bellicose baron with an eye towards world domination. She has been imprisoned by her father, who hopes to use her as a magical battery to fortify his castle. When a pair of good natured rogues attempt to steal one of her jewel encrusted gowns, they are quickly enlisted as allies to help her escape and, with the aid of a shape-shifting cleric, to seek out the Dwaerindim.

Critic reviews

“Pure listening pleasure….Enthusiastically recommended.” ( Library Bookwatch)

Not a bad start.

It's a fun read, but definitely has that first book new series feel! Still it was solid enough to make me interested in reading the next. The narrator does a very good job!

Awkward Paused and a Good Story

Narrator would periodically pause for just long enough for me to think my app had crashed.

Well performed, good plot but dialog

This was a good story that was well performed but the dialog was a bit confusing at times. sometimes closer to an Old English and others more like contemporary language.
overall, I enjoyed it!

Unwanted pausing

this book would pause unexpectedly and pick up again several times throughout the play back

Hard To Follow

The story was difficult to follow because of the sudden change of scenes with no warning. I’m an avid Audible reader and I have never had this much trouble following a story.
