About this listen

Rhapsody, n (1542). 1: a portion of an epic poem adapted for recitation. 2, archaic: a miscellaneous collection. 3 a (1): a highly emotional utterance (2): a highly emotional literary work (3): effusively rapturous or extravagant discourse b: rapture, ecstasy. 4: a musical composition of irregular form having an improvisatory character.

Elizabeth Haydon is a major new force in fantasy. Equipped with a quick wit, Haydon has a sharp ear for dialogue, panache with characters, and that essential ability to transport her readers into her own fantastical world--a world so real you can hear the sweet music of Rhapsody's aubade and smell the smoldering forges within the Cauldron.

Rhapsody is a woman, a singer of some talent who is swept up into events of world-shattering import. On the run from an old romantic interest who won't take no for an answer, Rhapsody literally bumps into a couple of shady characters: half breeds who come to her rescue in the nick of time. Only the rescue turns into an abduction, and Rhapsody soon finds herself dragged along on an epic voyage--one that spans centuries and ranges across a wonder-filled fantasy world.

excellent read

I started this book with a paperback copy and halfway through, due to time limitations, I bought the Audible version; beat choice ever! I will be purchasing the next two installments from Audible as well. Epic story with a lovely heroine and great characters and story plot.The author rates up there with Jordan, McAferty and Tolkien. The reader gets your heart pumping in suspenseful areas and does an excellent job giving each character their own voice. a must have in any library!

Definetly an old story but still fairly good

The writing style is definitely of an older style of writing but still a compelling story. The main character can be a little obnoxiously oblivious to the world around her but still offers a dynamic story. It does get started fairly quickly with some high emotional scenes. I would easily recommend this book to anyone.

Bad narration, good book!

Worst narrator ever! He obviously did not like the writer's sexier plot points. Sounded like a tween aged girl. Worth the read even so.

Good book,, overly dramatic reading

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Looked forward to hearing this book after a long time from reading it. The narrator has an off putting way of drawing out words. His tempo or maybe inflection just doesn't quite hit the ear right, personally. It's a good book that starts a series by Hayden that's impressive, but it falls short here.

How could the performance have been better?

Tempo. Inflection. Less, so very less dramatized.

A Detailed World

Really enjoyed this series years ago. A detailed world to get lost in and enjoy. The audiobook flows as nicely as when I read it myself!

Bad narrator

This is one of my favorite stories but the narrator is terrible. Weird cadence, overly dramatic, breathes into the mic too loudly, and the quality of the recording itself is bad, like it was recorded in a closet. Just terrible.

Most captivating story. "Time is a fragile thing."

Started this book so long ago and was never able to finish it. Finally I got the whole story and can't wait to get to the rest of the story.
