Copying and pasting my review for each book:
This was the series as a child that really kickstarted my love of the fantasy genre. Unfortunately, I picked up The Dragons of Deltora first unknowingly, then came back to this original series so was robbed of what I thought was the most amazing plot twist of all time. But now I'm listening to this with my husband, who was never much of a reader and never heard of this series and it still holds up SOOO well. Emily Rodda tells such a compelling story, so rich and varied without prententiousness or desperate need to overly describe; I appreciate it even more now over 20 years later, how well it was written and what an amazing story it was. This is the first book series, and without prior media like movies or shows to fall back on, that my husband has truly taken an interest in. This is still one of my favorite series of all time, and the narration by Ron Haddrick is phenomenol; perfect pacing and a storytelling tone. I am so happy to revisit this series and share it with my husband, and now I'll get to vicariously experience the plot twist 😁😁😁

Loved reading the story so decided to do Audiobook to revisit it on my long commutes. A bit of adjusting to Peter Kenny's style but after listening for awhile, I've decided he is a very good narrator, and this book in English is a pretty difficult one since it's translated and words can be a bit odd. He does bring vibrant life to the characters, and I see he does try to differentiate all the voices as best as he can (which is difficult, there's LOTS of characters that come and go). My only issue is sometimes he hits the accents too hard and when he gets dynamic in volume, he sometimes goes too soft, so the combination results in me missing some words at the tail end of sentences, and repeating on gratingly high volume (which is a bit harsh with his voices). I laughed out loud at his pronunciation of Dandelion lol. But overall, I appreciate his growling Geralt, a great performance of him 💙

Emmy Award-winning actress Tatiana Maslany narrates a brand-new special edition recording of the first audiobook in the worldwide best-selling trilogy from Suzanne Collins! In the ruins of a place once known as North America lies the nation of Panem, a shining Capitol surrounded by 12 outlying districts. The Capitol keeps the districts in line by forcing them all to send one boy and one girl between the ages of 12 and 18 to participate in the annual Hunger Games, a fight to the death on live TV.

Revisado: 06-25-22
Read the books previously, loved the narrator's rendition; perfect emotion, cadence, her voice is really her acting out what happens in each scene. The only "complaint" I have is while I love how her volume goes up and down to drive the story and make it dynamic, her voice occasionally goes too low so that I can't hear what she's saying (I usually listen in the car)

One of Jane Austen’s most beloved works, Pride and Prejudice, is vividly brought to life by Academy Award nominee Rosamund Pike ( Gone Girl). In her bright and energetic performance of this British classic, she expertly captures Austen’s signature wit and tone. Her attention to detail, her literary background, and her performance in the 2005 feature film version of the novel provide the perfect foundation from which to convey the story of Elizabeth Bennet, her four sisters, and the inimitable Mr. Darcy.

The people of Krynn have known war in past ages. Some are still alive who remember the triumph of good at the conclusion of the War of the Lance. Still more remember the devastation of the Chaos War, which ended the Fourth Age of the world. But now a new war is about to begin, more terrible than any have known. This war is one for the very heart and soul of the world itself.

Awesome story that I remember, bad narration
Revisado: 03-04-22
Loved this story as a child so getting to relive it through audiobooks as an adult is a delight. i'm sad because the cadence of narration by the narrator is good but it's her extra squeaky rendition of elves forces me to give this story less than 5 stars. She hits the make voices a bit hard sometimes which is fine, but the male elves are little and squeaky and it makes me so mad and snaps me out of the storytelling. I was on Chapter 20 and when an elven male spoke right after a kender spoke, the elf had a HIGHER-pitched and shrill voice! And her rendition of Gilthas is also high-pitched, higher than his wife's which is sad. But Chapter 20 I literally gagged out loud from the higher-than-kender voice. Makes me sad.
