Narrator not very good

I thought this book was decent generic fantasy, nothing special but entertaining. The narrator might be the worst I have heard, she mispronounced words, had a whiney annoying voice at times and the sound volume seemed to go up and down.

Bizarre Pronunciation

Loved the story. The narrator still hasn’t learned how to pronounce words, both real and fictional.

Good Douglas Niles Book

Where does Black Wizards rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Enjoyed the characters and always a fan of Douglas Niles.

What about Dara Rosenberg’s performance did you like?

I enjoyed her voice and the characters a lot. Second book I have heard narrated by her and she does not disappoint.

Great book. Reader OK.

This story is amazing and fun... Though I might be biased being a fan of the Druid class in Dungeons and Dragons. The reader incorrectly pronounces many if the terms, the worst veins the goddess Chauntea. It's not a big deal though. Great read and audio format was a nice convenience.

Good story, bad reading

I don't know if it was early in Dara Roseburg's career or what, but her reading style is broken and disjointed. So much so that it is sometimes difficult to even enjoy the story, and her pronunciation mistakes and littered thought the entire book. I'm hoping by the third one she has improved, but if the second is any indication, it's unlikely. great sorry, mediocre reading.

A New High King, Another Battle But War Is Not

We learn of the High King and find out a greater power is contributing to the problems in the Moonshae. I highly recommend this book.

A questionable performance of a decent story

The story is decent for a RPG-based novel, maybe I shouldn't have re-visited the material after reading a lot of these as a teenager in grades 5-9. The performance is mediocre at best, with some voicing choices very confusing, and a number of places where the cadence and pronunciation should have been corrected with additional takes and editing.

The narrator made this very distracting.

Great storyline. The narrator was clear, however her enunciations of certain words were incorrect, the break up in the voices was distracting and her choppy reading was irritating.

Narration Just as Hideous as First Book

I loved this book when it first came out, so I purchased the trilogy on Audible. That was a huge waste of money. I couldn't get past the 1st chapter with the narrator saying Fuh-folk when 5 seconds on the internet will tell you Ffolk is pronounced Folk. The narrator also pronounced Bhaal not as Ball but Buh-hall. Truly terrible making me stop listening after 1 chapter.
