Wonderful

This is simply one of Raymond’s best pieces of work. Highly recommend that you get it.

Only one complaint

I own every book in all the series Mr. Feist has written and this is one of my very favorites. Only complaint I have with these books is the narrator, Nicholas Guy Smith. I found myself correcting his pronunciation of several names every time he said them. And I have always cringed when people add “r”’s to words: there is no r in the was “saw”and only one in “drawing”. These things really distracted me but the story is phenomenal-one of my all time favorites. I understand further books have a different narrator so I will purchase them here as I sadly would not have had Mr. Smith been kept on.

described beautifully

pronunciation was to English and lost some flavor in names as well as descriptions
