Great continuation of the story

Revisado: 02-20-25

I greatly appreciate this second novel in the series and very much hope there will be a third. It’s been great to watch the main character grow, stumble, and find her own place amongst the humans and the dragons of the Serpentine.

A tale after the Age of Fire

Revisado: 09-16-24

I was happy to be able to return to the world and dragons from the very excellent Age of Fire series. EE Knight has skillfully shown how this story set long after the Age of Fire weaves in elements of the original 6 books without rehashing them. EE Knight creates great protagonists, especially outcasts. Ileth is delightful, savvy and strong. Her trials as a house guest / prisoner of war dragged on a bit, but otherwise her story kept my attention and me rooting for her. Cannot wait to listen to Daughter of the Serpentine and I hope there will be a third book coming out soon. Thanks for the great story EE Knight.

A great prequel

Revisado: 01-20-24

Another amazing story based in Kingsbridge before it was even Kingsbridge. Great narrator, and of course awesome writing.

The novels seem to be getting shorter but the quality of characters, plots and stories continues to shine.

Lame enemies

Revisado: 12-06-22

The alien race that our protagonist face are, perhaps the lamest of the series. The Arachnids were mindless killing machines, but at least they were scary. The Thebans were oddballs, but had an interesting backstory. The war between the human homewotlders and those who lived on the rim was interesting.

These bald, golden, tentacled psychopaths are intensely boring. I find myself wanting to skip through any of their narratives. Mainly, I stuck around for the space battles.

The narrator, Marc Vietor, saves this book from being dreck.

All things end!

Revisado: 09-09-22

I started listening to the Saxons Stories 15 years ago, Uhtred of Bebbanburg has kept me company countless commutes to work. Over the span of 13 books, I got to listen to his story from his childhood is elder years and hear the story of four kingdoms become the single kingdom of England. It was a great ride! Thanks Bernard Cornwell

A good short story with an interesting setting

Revisado: 06-01-22

I listened to the Audible version of this quick read short story and thought it was great! Lots of history woven in with compelling characters and plot. It described events in the Canary Islands that I had never heard of until this reading this. The authors words and the narrators voice were a great combination.

A lot of details

Revisado: 06-14-20

I had to seen the movie which was the succinct, exciting retelling done and only a few hours. I think this may be one of those rare occasions where the movie was better than the book.
The full length story was interesting but it’s six hours dragged on with streams of details and names and places. To me, the story has really reached its dramatic / climactic conclusion with the rescue. But it felt like there was another two hours of minutia.

Worst narrator I’ve ever heard

Revisado: 01-07-20

This narrator sounds like she’s flunked out of the William Shatner school of acting where she feels like she has to pause and over pronounce every single word. She poorly tries to imitate children’s voices and sounds like some kind of creepy 40-year-old baby child. I absolutely could not stand listening to her and had to stop. On the other hand, Dr. Ross Greene’s information is excellent and I will be looking for another version with a different narrator. I honestly have no idea how this woman could’ve possibly been selected as a narrator, just atrocious.
