I love this series but the reading sounds automated and is not being read with the correct Cadence for speech

Brutal to listen to

Revisado: 03-30-22

Narrator butchers pronunciations, rushes the storytelling and is bad at female voices. Story is not as good as the rest of the obsidian trilogy but a nice young adult read

Needs a female reader

Revisado: 02-07-19

Normally I don't care who's reading a book but this is a medieval time period book and clearly the reader does not read female voices well. His cadence is way off for how a female would speak. it renders the story a little flat.

the audio recording is poor and rushed.

I have always enjoyed this book. poor recording, speaker going too fast. I had to slow the playback time. I wondered a few times if this was abridged.

adorable alt-tale

I think it would have been a better read than a listen but it was entertaining enough.

Loved it Again

What made the experience of listening to Darke: Septimus Heap, Book Six the most enjoyable?

My son just enjoys the series and the way it curves through the girls stories and the boys stories without sounding like it's only girly or boy

An engaging audio and an engaging read!

Revisado: 05-23-12

Would you listen to The Throne of Fire again? Why?

Yes, my son is the one listening to these and he loves the characters, the interaction and the accuracy to mythological legends.

What other book might you compare The Throne of Fire to and why?

It's actually a better read than Riordan's Heroes of Olympus series because it's better written and a much better set of performers on the audio version!

What does Kevin R. Free and Katherine Kellgren bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

My son loved the interplay between the two characters and how they rounded out the idea of a brother-sister team without making the reading sound dry.

The reality is that I buy the audiobooks specifically so that my son who is dyslexic can stay well read and on his grade level despite his inability to read. He is almost twelve years old and these characters spoke to him. Frequently, audiobooks are read without inflection and without the reality that someone with language deficits needs in order to integrate language. These two readers hit all the high points, as well as covering a variety of accents.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Thousands of Years of Family Drama Comes to Life!
