Story
Robin of Locksley is dead. Maid Marian doesn’t know how she’ll go on, but the people of Locksley town, persecuted by the sheriff of Nottingham, need a protector. And the dreadful Guy of Gisborne, the sheriff’s right hand, wishes to step into Robin’s shoes as lord of Locksley and Marian’s fiancé. Marian never meant to tread in Robin’s footsteps - never intended to stand as a beacon of hope to those awaiting his triumphant return. But with a sweep of his green cloak and the flash of her sword, Marian makes the choice to become her own hero: Robin Hood.

Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

Publisher's summary
Audie Award, Distinguished Achievement in Production, 2012
Arrogance and innocence, hubris and hope - 24 haunting voices of the Titanic tragedy, as well as the iceberg itself, are evoked in a stunning tour de force.
More than 2,000 men, women, and children are on board. Here on the first-class promenade is millionaire John Jacob Astor, who hopes his return from Egypt with his pregnant teen bride will invite a minimum of media attention. And here, in the third-class common room, a beautiful Lebanese refugee, on her way to family in Florida, discovers first love. And there in the distance, shrouded in darkness, an ancient iceberg lies patient, awaiting its encounter.
The voices in this wholly unique re-creation of the Titanic disaster span classes and stations, from Margaret (“the unsinkable Molly”) Brown to Captain E.J. Smith, who went down with his ship; from the lookout and wireless men to a young boy in search of dragons and a gambler in search of fools with money to lose. Slipping in telegraphs, undertaker’s reports, and other historic records, poet Allan Wolf offers a breathtaking, intimate glimpse into the lives of two dozen passengers and crew, told with astounding emotional power.
Critic reviews
“How do you tell a dramatic story when you know that everyone already knows the ending? Allan Wolf has combined meticulous research with open-hearted poetry to craft the story of the Titanic in a fresh and compelling way. A remarkable accomplishment.” (Helen Frost, author of Crossing Stones and Hidden)
"Allan Wolf has imagined his way deep into the cold, dark waters of history and has come back carrying a couple of dozen voices that he discovered there, voices whose authenticity is not only convincing but compelling. With the publication of this fine book, we know at last - and we know as well as sisters and brothers - some of the people who went down with the Titanic.” (Ted Kooser, former US Poet Laureate and winner of the Pulitzer Prize)

Highly recommended & bittersweet story
Would you listen to The Watch That Ends the Night again? Why?
Yes. It is entertaining, despite the tragic end to come. Even the iceberg had a voice.
Who was your favorite character and why?
The voice of the rats. It was so unexpected.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Having so many voices really made this story. I think the book alone would have less impact.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, I prefer to savor it a little at a time.
Any additional comments?
Despite the many books about the Titanic, I think this book has a lot to offer. At times, I almost felt myself aboard the ship, and became so thankful that I was on land as I listened.

A favorite no matter how many times I’ve read it or listened to it…
This has been one of my favorite Titanic novels as I absolutely love its presentation on the written page in verse. Incredibly creative! The audio version also did not disappoint. I highly recommend reading along while listening to appreciate fully the written art that’s on each and every page.

It could have happened that way
What did you like best about The Watch That Ends the Night? What did you like least?
I enjoyed the varied experiences from a wide cross section of the passengers and crew of Titanic. The rat and iceberg were a little irritating but not too offputting. Their contributions were brief enough and gave the author a chance to add a little change of pace to the story.
How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?
Actually this was a unique telling of the story. The compartmentalization of the story feed everything piece by piece but it still had a timeline flow that worked.
What does the narrators bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
They brought distinctive voices to each of the characters. Each character was given a depth of personality that helped bring the story to life
Do you think The Watch That Ends the Night needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
No, the voyage is over
Any additional comments?
This was a bit unusual but not bad at all really. The author weaves facts with fiction to make a compelling story. It was worth listening to. I would say a good read

Uncomfortable subject handled gently
It was eerie to hear the voices, from real life and fictional characters as they were on an unknown journey, to their deaths. The monologues were perfect for revealing the characters makeup. I felt I knew them well enough to form a slight emotional bond, which made the historically known ending feel like losing a fellow passenger on a recent cruise.
The Titanic hit “the ice” on my birthday, which as always made a extra connection for me with her sinking in the early hours of the following day.
Getting back to the work, the writing was very good and the monologues gently paced you on the 5 days of Titanic’s first and only voyage. The final chapter gives the real life biographies of the real characters and who the fictional characters were representing. The character “the ice” had some very chilling monologues (I just had to write that😏).
All over a good work, which is why I give it a very strong three stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Compelling retelling, evocative performance
I rarely review a book, but wanted to comment on this one, especially in light of the reaction of the other reviewers to the ice and the rat. I found the retelling of the Titanic's tragedy compelling, which is high praise when the material is so familiar, and the performance was stellar.
First, this is not a history book, but poetry. If you come to it expecting a straight history, you will be disappointed. I liked the ice and loved the rat. As I was listening, the commentary of the ice reminded me of the chorus in a Greek drama. As for the rat, have you ever before given a moment's thought to the rats that also went down with the ship? I don't know which of the cast read the rat, but it was perfect, vividly portraying a real rat, scuttling about in the dark. I also thought that the handling of the post office, which another listener found repetitive, had the same effect. The reading of the simple, repeated words brought the mailroom and it's work vividly to life. I also enjoyed the clever promenade sections, sometimes backing up to listen to them again, and was impressed with how they were woven back into the narrative at the end.
The language of the book was evocative in a way that a straightforward narrative could never be, and gave depth and human richness to the characters, both the good and the bad. I must say, however, that as fine as the book itself was, I'm not sure I would have much liked it as a print read. This is writing not for the eye but for the ear, and the narrators in this recording deserve five stars and more for the color and life they brought to it. I had originally downloaded this free from the public library, but partway through purchased it from Audible. I knew even before the end that this was a book I wanted in my permanent library.

Creepiness & Conjecture
As an avid reader of Titanic information and stories, I wanted this book for a long time. Finally, it was in a sale, so I got it. My excitement quickly turned to unease and then downright disappointment. What seemed to be a novel idea as a way to tell some of the Titanic's story became littered with thinking icebergs and a creepy, disgusting rat king! Don't get me wrong; I'm all for original thinking and approaching this oft-told tale from a different porthole; however, the rat king was just too much. And some moments with historical figures I felt were too much conjecture and too little fact. Again, I realize this is more of a fictional tale inside the psyches of various passengers, animals and objects...but it just sank for me. I think the narrator did well with the material, but he can't save this one for me. I made myself finish it, but I was unsettled by the end of it and, honestly, a little queasy. I'm going to see if I can return it.

Not Enjoyable
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
Less iceberg and rat narration would have been nice...
What was most disappointing about Allan Wolf’s story?
the way in which it was written, I couldn't get into the story, one that i already know so well.
How did the narrator detract from the book?
I think it was more the character than the narrators..
You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?
Interesting concept, but one that didn't work for me - possibly with a different story?
Any additional comments?
I just couldn't finish listening to the book. The manner in which the story was told, a story i know so well and love so dearly, I just couldn't wrap my head around it.
