at first I thought, wonderful, a magical blacksmith Story where they actually focus on the craft instead of it being a footnote in the story. But every time they were working on a piece it kept describing how she realized that it wasn't just a piece they were working on but a part of history and how they were it's keeper. it was fine the first four times it happened but man this was every five minutes or so. im pretty sure it took up most of the book. The virtual voice was ok i guess. it kept pronouncing bow as in bow of the ship instead of bow and arrow context. but I think subconsciously my brain new it was an artificial voice because I just couldn't focus on it for long. it was monotone and really droned sometimes.
a redeaming quality though was the pieces the blacksmiths were working on. they were creative and interesting especially the last job but maybe instead of saying over and over how they realize that they are the preservers and custodians of history through their work, take some time and describe a story of the person who wielded said weapon. not a bad book but I hope the next one will but much better composed

dwarves have always been a favorite of mine ever since I saw Peter Jackson's lord of the rings and later the Hobbit. Markus was right when he said he was worried about people's preconceived notion of what dwarves should be. But I can honestly say he did a fantastic job of keeping true to my preconceived notions of dwarves while adding new and cool ideas of how own that adds to the mix instead of taking away from it . well done Markus looking forward to the rest of the series.

I have finished frankenstein and now Dracula. both were written brilliantly and I now understand why Dracula has lasted through the ages even as a horror story. The cast did a fantastic job and I would recommend it to any reader or listener.

I've read this series before but wanted to take it up again. Tim curry has a voice that was made for story telling and this story was a perfect match. full of suspense and subtle humor and all the while has you on the edge of your seat with this griping story

As with all horror, this is not a happy story but written so well that it held me captive to the end even though I have already known the story for many years

I had seen the movie long before listening to it. and the story has many wonderful qualities. suspenseful and creepy its the kind of book that will send shivers down ones spine. but the questions raised about the lore and origins of the creature make you thirsting for more. absolutely wonderful book
