Publisher's summary

Meet Maimun - an orphan who couldn’t imagine how unfortunate it would be to discover a stone that makes him forever lucky. Fleeing a powerful demon named Asbeel, Maimun stows away aboard the ship Sea Sprite, where he encounters a cast of characters well-known to Salvatore fans: Captain Deudermont, Drizzt Do’Urden, Wulfgar, Catti-brie, and the dwarf Bruenor. Drizzt becomes a mentor to Maimun and aboard Deudermont’s ship, they sail the treacherous seas of the Forgotten Realms. Hunted by a demon, haunted by a mysterious spellcaster, and chased by a pirate, Maimun, with Drizzt’s help, must unravel the secrets of the Stone of Tymora before his luck runs out!

Great story but overly explained

72 chapters into this book before Salvadore starts writing like normal. for whatever reason the 1st 1/4 of the book is repeated over... and over... and over... again. I found myself skipping 30 seconds forward just to avoid the constant recall to the start of the book. then it was more fun timing the skip button as not to miss any advancing story then listening to this story. after 71 chapters my patience was rewarded with a great book...
Was it worth all this. YES

It was OK

Far from Salvatore's best work, but a decent listen nonetheless. Worth a listen I guess.

The tie-in to other R.A. Salvatore works.

While this story ties in to some of the best from R.A. It is a stretch to have a twelve year old carry this journey.

good story with some familiar names

Figured I'd listen to it since it mentioned Drizzt. But he's makes an appearance here and there. The main character is primarily with Capt Deudermont. In a quick description, its about boy who was cursed with an item that he must destroy before it kills him. And of course there are those willing to kill him to attain his cursed item for its magical properties.

Long

The story is long and sometimes drags out. Otherwise it was a great story! And loved how it ties into the ice wind dale trilogy.

Wild Ride

Really liked it. Typically, hate and love the complex characters. Good cameos too. Read this book!

An OK story

Overall I would say out of all the books I read by Salvatori this is one of my least favorite. I didn’t really care for the narrator, and I found the main female character to have a really obnoxious accent. Way too many of the same phrase, really made my teeth grate

Written from a childs perspective can be hard...

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

Maybe. Why i would because it is not a terrible read. Why I wouldnt, because I prefer a ton of other books that I would recommend first.

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

Most interesting is the story itself, I like the plot, the bad guys, good guys, fantasy characters. I love hearing about Drizzt, Bruneor, Wulfgar and Cattie Brie from a third perspective. Least interesting is the main character and his main companion. I have a hard time "believing" a child his age could accomplish the feats he does and I think the writer is trying to write from a boys perspective, which is also hard to deal with because I no longer see the world from a "woah is me, I am 8 years old and nothing is fair" perspective.

What about Ramon DeOcampo’s performance did you like?

He does the voices very well and diversely. Although he read a little too slowly with too many breaks for me so I have him on double speed.

Was Stone of Tymora worth the listening time?

Sure. I have aaaa llott of listening time ;P

Any additional comments?

Not the Authors best work, but definitely a better read then some fantasy out there.

A definite must listen for Salvatore fans

We NEED a sequel for this series now! "The Rise of the Pirate Queen"
And please keep the same narrator.
