Almost word for word sadly - not recommended - just look at the original house of the dragon book.

This series got me into fantasy/grim dark and I’ve never looked back. Get this book! Characters are witty, battles are gory, the twists keep coming. Just. Wow. This 3rd in the series is amazing in every detail measured.

IMO these 2 are the best in this genre - dark fantasy lots of action, enemy perspective, so well written, magic not overdone.

The guy is simply the best writer out there, so detailed but so much violence. Political intrigue, surprises only the great George RR could imagine, oh and more violence. The heroes like video game characters, with jaw-clenching, heart ripped out of your chest strength, the magicians real magicians. A 10/10 on every scale and Pacey is a master also. Dive in (......also book track distracting at first then great).

Going on 1000 books and Earthcore and Mt Fitz Roy are too of my favorites. Love the new take on aliens, it is refreshing, and Ray Porter excels as always. He is the eminent SF narrator and does every character justice. Bravo!

Everything you wanted and waited for, Sanderson does not disappoint if you are just coming across this series go back to Book 1 and listen. Love the 40 hrs for one credit too!

Write from the POV of the dragon or the enemy (see Rodorf in the Wolfric series)... this is the only way to write. Too much SF is written from good guy POV see just about anything read by RC Bray and that’s garbage even if the character is flawed. 5/5 to everything Duncan Hamilton

The wells been running dry on Vietnam memoirs but I want to assure any vet reading this that we do care, we do want to hear your stories. This one is well written, gives more background from the soldiers eye on khe sahn, and has a great narrator. Excellent work!

One of thousands of reviews but you never know with these epic-magic combos this one is great and the narrator makes it feel like GOT I’m sold!

Literally in the soldiers shoes, all the action recounted. One of my favorites bc it isn’t just regiments moving around on a map. Macro view is not what I’m looking for. Excellent job giving just enough overview and the gritty details. Well written great narrator.
