Lifelong friends, they went their separate ways. Now they are together again, though each holds secrets from the others in his heart. They speak of a world shadowed with rumors of war. They speak of tales of strange monsters, creatures of myth, creatures of legend. They do not speak of their secrets. Not then. Not until a chance encounter with a beautiful, sorrowful woman, who bears a magical crystal staff, draws the companions deeper into the shadows, forever changing their lives and shaping the fate of the world.

In ancient days, sorcerers sought to learn the One True Spell that would give them power over all the world and understanding of all magic.... The One True Spell was a woman, and her name was Mystra - and her kisses were wonderful. It is the time before Myth Drannor, when the Heartlands are home to barbarians, and wicked dragons rule the skies. In these ancient days, Elminster is but a shepherd boy, dreaming of adventure and heroics. When a dragon-riding magelord sweeps down upon him, though, the boy is thrust into a world of harsh realities, corrupt rulers, and evil sorcerers.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Long ago the gods chose a great hero to act as their agent in the mortal world and to stand against the demonic spawn of Chaos. The gods gifted their champion, Daemron, with three magical Talismans: a sword, a ring, and a crown. But the awesome power at his command corrupted Daemron, turning him from savior to destroyer. Filled with pride, he dared to challenge the gods themselves. Siding with the Chaos spawn, Daemron waged a titanic battle against the Immortals. In the end, Daemron was defeated, the Talismans were lost, and Chaos was sealed off behind the Legacy - a magical barrier the gods sacrificed themselves to create.

Pure action, little plot
Victor Bevine does a great job narrating these books. That being said, the quality of the recording of this one is pretty bad. There are a lot of skips, and sentences cut short to silence as if they were stopped too early when switching discs or something.
As for the story; I wasn't super impressed. There wasn't as much depth as the Homeland trilogy, there were a lot of random characters they expected you to know that you had no idea who they were. Same with the town names in tentowns. There were some things that didn't make sense, such as the super demon Errtu bending his will to Kessel, literally just because he felt he could wait it out? If he's as powerful as they claim him to be he'd crush Kessel, even with the power. Also, pretty much the whole book is action. I like the action, because Salvatore goes into great detail in the battlefield, but I want a decent plot too. It all kind of just happened, then there were several battles and of course an all out war. There just wasnt enough build up with backstory or anything. Seemed like the 1st half of the book should have been expanded to make book 1, then take the 2nd half and make expand it to make book 2
I didn't hate it, but after enjoying the first trilogy so much, I was disappointed in this one. Here's to hoping the 2nd of this series is better!

Salvatore continues to impress
One thing I've loved about Salvatore's writing style is he seems to thrive when he wants to be abrupt, and this story has really shown this. There were a few major moments where I had to rewind just to confirm that Salvatore had really done what I thought I heard, and I'm constantly impressed.

An epic war story of Icewind Dale
The story is a compelling narrative around a conflict between barbarians, cities, and hordes of monsters in a frozen wasteland.
The narrative is well paced; slow and creeping descriptions when subtely is afoot, and racing descriptions of violence in the scenes of combat. It is a testament to Victor's understanding of situations in the book and takes a lot of skills to read, voice, and comprehend what lies beyond the text of the pages.
There are some descrepencies in the editing that seem to abruptly end the narrative or hang for such a period of time that I check my phone to see if it's still playing, though these are rare and stop after chapter 25. There was even a sentence completely cut off once... It was during a description of a scene, however, so not any loss in the story arc.
These were minor bumps on the road and should not deter anyone interested in the best trilogy following the legendary drow Drizzt Do'Urden.

Exceptional Performance, Good Story
The narrator of the book is really great. Voicing is very consistent and gives life to characters. Enjoyable enough to overlook some very large holes.

First Book I Ever Read!
This is the first book I ever read and to this day I still enjoy rereading it. The Audible app allows me to work and listen to my favorite books. The voices are done well and even with works noisy background my phone easily is loud enough for me to hear the tales.

slow start, amazing finish!
this book starts off slow but when it picks up it's amazing. The author paints a vivid picture of the battles and does and excellent job voicing the characters bringing them to life.
