I'm so excited to find you guys! I just finished Tears of Liscor (which TORE ME UP!) I began TWI in November 2023. It's been a wild ride! I don't know anyone else IRL whose read any/all of these - so it's been wonderful to find this podcast! I decided to begin at the beginning and listen to your episodes in order until I catch up with my own reading. I sincerely hope that PirateAba, TWI and No Killing Goblins continues forever! Is that too much to ask? 🤣

Least Favorite of the Series

Revisado: 02-23-24

The Christmas ordeal seemed unnecessarily rushed as well as just plain unnecessary. The Evil Spirits or whatever made very little sense to me. It was creepy as &%ck, but I just didn't get it. Perhaps it'll be better explained at a later date. I didn't mind the length at all! I just thought a couple of the storyline were very strange.

I CANNOT Get Enough Estes!!!

Revisado: 11-21-23

After binging the entire Fatemarked Epic, I was *delighted* to discover this follow-up series. This was a terrific debut to that new series. David Estes' writing style feels very comfortable to be at this point (some 6,000 pages in!) I love his world-building, I adore the multi POV, but most of all, I cannot get enough of his characters! They feel so real and varied. Each becomes fully fleshed-out. They live and grow as people, both individually, and in small groups. They are not without their faults (even the "good guys,") and the "bad guys" are not completely without good - or, at least, a back-story that we learn along the way that explains a lot about how & why they became who they are.

Estes included a neuro-diverse character in Fatemarked (who makes a cameo here in Kingfall, decades later.) Kingfall boasts a blind character. This idea of non-traditional or disabled characters in an epic fantasy was fascinating to me! And these are not the only two examples!

The different lands/continents of Kingfall are quite varied in landscape, biome and culture. The process by which these varied peoples gets to know one another is always a fascinating journey through real prejudices. Their ability to often come to accept, understand, and, sometimes, even love, others can teach us all a lot!

I, for one, do not feel these books are too long. There's a lot going on! And the incomparable Tim Gerard Reynolds could read a telephone book and make it sound interesting! When I find a story that I enjoy THIS much, I want it to go on and on! I don't want it to end! I sincerely hope that we have not seen the last epic fantasy from David Estes! And I cannot wait to continue The Kingfall Histories ... downloading Dragonfall NOW!

Fantastic

Revisado: 08-11-22

I am not a huge fan of Michael Kramer, but I ADORE Kate Reading - and, of course, Robert Jordan and The Wheel of Time have not become what they have on accident. It's a story you just can't help but love!

ok

Revisado: 11-18-19

we didn't enjoy this one quite as much as the others. also, the narrator, though he does an excellent job, speaks the narrator pieces very softly and the character dialogue *very* loudly. this makes it difficult to adjust the volume to a comfortable level.

awful, monitored narration

Revisado: 04-27-19

I could not continue to listen because the narration was so terrible, unfortunately. I'll buy the book and read it instead.

Loved The Story AND The Narrator

Revisado: 05-20-17

THAT doesn't happen very often, does it? This story kept me engaged throughout. It brought smiles and tears. It was gorgeous. The narrator did a spectacular job. I highly recommend this audio book!
