Publisher's summary

Ages ago, sorcerers of unmatched power sundered a world into four realms—sky, stone, fire, and water—then vanished. Over time, magicians learned to work spells only in their own realms and forgot the others. Now only the few who have survived the Labyrinth and crossed the Death Gate know of the presence of all four realms—and even they have yet to unravel the mysteries of their severed world. . . .

In Arianus, Realm of Sky, humans, elves, and dwarves battle for control of precious water—traversing a world of airborne islands on currents of elven magic and the backs of mammoth dragons. But soon great magical forces will begin to rend the fabric of this delicate land. An assassin will be hired to kill a royal prince—by the king himself. A dwarf will challenge the beliefs of his people—and lead them in rebellion. And a sinister wizard will enact his plan to rule Arianus—a plan that may be felt far beyond the Realm of Sky and into the Death Gate itself.

*Includes a downloadable PDF of maps, sheet music for 'Hand is Flame', and other visuals from the book

A look into a world split apart

A wonderful look into a realm with fresh characters and of the most powerful magic of the infinite becoming finite.

Never underestimate the need for a mixing engineer

I've waited a long time for this book series. The narration is... okay. The narrator has talent and does a great job with voices, while they may not fit the characters they at least make it easy to differentiate who is speaking. The narration between is a little flat, making it hard to pay attention. The biggest gripe is the dynamics. The audio keeps fading from loud to very soft, like the speaker is moving away from the mic, like someone turning away while talking to you. This could have been fixed in mixing with compression! The story itself is great, as others have said.

So happy to have this series!

I have always loved this series since I was young and own all of the hardcovers. This is still a great series with amazing story and characters. Like the others, I will agree others and say that while the narrator was very active and well versed, the accents and voices used just seem off. I would never imagine elves sounding like Irish sailors or Alfred sounding like he was the Alfred from Batman. Just seems the voices don’t match the characters a lot.

Just as good as the original cassette, but more

This was, bar none, my favorite book series growing up, and still is for that matter. I have never finished it, however, due to the fact I don't enjoy reading that much and only the first 3 books were ever recorded on audio cassette, abridged as well. To my great joy and suprise, not only did audible release the entire first book unabridged, but the entire series for me to finally finish. The performance is excellent, though it does leave me nostalgic for the music and sound effects accompanying the cassette versions. That isn't a negative, just a personal bias. I cannot wait to start the second installment and enjoy more of my favorite characters. Cannot reccoment this series enough.

Finally on audible

Cant tell you how many times i’ve searched for this one on audio book. Like others have said this was one of my favorite series back in the day. Still remember the cover art on hardback. Narrator did a great job. I was worried when i hadn’t seen his name before but he pulled through for me. Looking forward to the rest of the books. Downloading now!

An old favorite

I first read this series as a teenager. I loved it than and I still love it. I can’t believe it took this long to make this series into audiobooks. It may be an older book series, but I think it still out shines many of the newer books. It most definitely deserves to go in the history books as pathing the way for the future fantasy gene. Just remember this was originally published in 1990’s when the fantasy gene was damn near impossible to find.
