it was OK, but...

There were too many characters to keep up with in an audio format.
Also, Amazon is against free speech for what they did to Parler.

A world we've been waiting to see

Is there anything you would change about this book?

There is a trap that fantasy writers often fall into; a classical affectation that comes across grandiose. The style sounds brilliant coming from Ian Fisher, who does a wonderful job in Dwarf: Great War Chronicles, Book 1, but it often stands in the way of genuine character building.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

The world of the fantasy dwarf is one we have needed for some time. Too often the sidekick, Benningfield casts his entire world with dwarves. He builds an incredibly detailed world of dragon-riders, dwarven made traps, and battles between kings. With a cast filled with nobles, it places another barrier between the reader (listener). I had a hard time connecting with the characters. That is always difficult in a fantasy book, especially with the use of thick, tongue-twisting fantasy names.

What about Ian Fisher’s performance did you like?

Ian Fisher was brilliant. He was able to own the thick language and welcome me into the world.

Was Dwarf worth the listening time?

There was a great deal of fun, and once I was able to sort out which dwarf was which, I enjoyed the world a great deal. Benningfield has created a huge world that is a blast envisioning.
