Interesting storyline, mediocre narration.

Revisado: 04-13-25

I’m a big fan of lengthy LitRpG’s, that said this storyline has an interesting theme, characters, and fantasy universe. It loses some points for stressing tedious stat retelling and not really developing characters and their vast interactions.
The narration is near god awful, frequently mispronouncing common words, stumbling through simple sentences, and being so monotone that you frequently find you stopped listening some time ago and don’t care enough to go back and be forced to listen to it again.
I’m hopeful that the series continues and the author spends some time devolving the story instead of just plodding through it. I also hope it gets a new narrator as Prachko is nearing my limit of not desiring to continue the story.

This is an interesting quandary.

Revisado: 03-08-25

This series attempts to weave together themes borrowed from more successful books and falls flat in its attempt at imitation with clumsy execution and disjointed storytelling. The plot is recycled and patchwork at best, and completely misses the mark of the classics it imitates. The characters and plots are blatantly borrowed with minimal attempt to remake or personalize. This confusing and tiresome attempt is best avoided if you can just reread/listen to the originals.

Timeless Epic.

Revisado: 12-27-24

Towards the end of Robert Jordan’s writing he felt rushed and anxious, but then Brandon Sanderson. The culmination of Mr. Jordan’s life’s work is incredible. The twisting narrative and spinning characters are heart wrenching and hope renewing. The story of the 3rd age was such a pleasure. Thank you for this gift.

Truly Prolific

Revisado: 10-15-24

This book is so good you will find yourself re-listening to chapters just to try and fully understand all the connections and implications. The recording is not as well done as others as there are sections where you hear it requesting to switch the tape but the depth of story make it acceptable.

One of the Best Stories ever told.

Revisado: 08-22-24

The world created by Mr. Jordan is one of the greatest stories ever written. I remember as a teen I couldn’t read the books fast enough and listening to it know all the images and experiences flood back. Such a tremendous telling, I hope the failure of AP to capture it never tarnishes the written work.

Well written, near perfect voice acting.

Revisado: 08-14-24

The talent on display here is unquestioned! You can dislike the content but there is no denying the depth of skill brought to bear by the actors. David Gyasi, has an iconic presence and I hope the character he plays makes a prominent return. So happy to have found this.

The Best Series ever written.

Revisado: 08-12-24

Some of the middle books could be re-written with this end in mind, that said this is the best series I have ever listened to. The betrayals, the enemies, the friendships, the love, the gain and all the losses. Over the last two years these books have gotten me through some difficult and amazing times. Thank you to the author, publisher, and audible for it all. This series will be forever on my playlist. I hope they don’t make a crappy movie out of it.

Cutting down on loose ends.

Revisado: 08-02-24

This I a pretty good installment that ties up several loose ends. The story has really progressed and the last big question is, how will Jason rule on the restored throne? Popits’ story poses an interesting option for a sequel or off-ramp.

Incredible story and deep development.

Revisado: 07-01-24

This story is well thought out and the development is crisp and intentional. The start is slow but you will find yourself drawn into every character and event, there is great effort put into making the story interesting and not entirely predictable. Hopefully rest of the series is as good.

Not a great read.

Revisado: 05-29-24

The story line is pretty thin for this book, it felt like a chore list of “oh yeah didn’t we mention this character” 20 minutes on every character ever mentioned. Just not cohesive or fluid in the overall plot or transitions.
