Story
Some of the parchment pages were the color of cream, thick and substantial, made to last many, many lifetimes. Other pages were thin and desiccated, positively yellow from age, and crackled alarmingly as Van Richten turned them over. There were no ornate illuminations, no fussy borders, only lines of plain text in hard black ink. The flowing handwriting was a bit difficult to follow at first; the writer's style of calligraphy had not been in common use for 300 years. No table of contents, but from the dates it looked to be some kind of history.

When Michael Moorcock began chronicling the adventures of the albino sorcerer Elric, last king of decadent Melniboné, and his sentient vampiric sword, Stormbringer, he set out to create a new kind of fantasy adventure, one that broke with tradition and reflected a more up-to-date sophistication of theme and style. The result was a bold and unique hero: a rock-and-roll antihero who would channel all the violent excesses of the '60s into one enduring archetype.

Great Campaign Setting Reference
While working perfectly well as a primer for understanding the D&D campaign setting of the world of Eberron with some compelling characters, the story reads like a transcript of a table game, and the narrator slips frequently trying to maintain his cast of voices. Still, if you want to know about Eberron, the exposition, even when handled in as clunky a manner as written here, provides no better understanding of the unique, compelling, and magical world of Eberron. definitely a series worth spending the time on despite its many shortcomings as a literary work.

Great introduction to the world of Eberron
Baker’s description of the city of Sharn and the appendix may be worth the price alone. But I found the characters interesting and unique to Eberron. Worth a listen.

A good intro to Eberron
Let me start by saying the narration is excellent. Now, I am not new to D&D but am completely new to Eberron. Before delving into rule books I might never use I wanted to get a sense of what made this setting different from Forgotten Realms or Greyhawk. It does a good job of highlighting at least a part of the setting that isn't traditional high fantasy. My only complaint about the audiobook is that the appendix is at the end (duh!) but really should be heard first (or at least early on after starting the story) to get a stronger idea of the setting. It didn't really hurt the story but it would have made some of details easier to contextualize. I plan on continuing the trilogy.

Thin story stretched too far, narration issues
Interesting world. But the story feels stretched very thin. That and the narrator pausing, I'm assuming because he either lost his place or had to turn a page, and his inconsistent pronunciation of names and places....it was kind of a slog to get through unfortunately.

A New World, a Pleasant Surprise!
This book definitely came as a pleasant surprise. Being new to the world of Eberron, I was delighted to discover a world setting for which I had been searching for a long time, one that combines fantasy and sci fi in such a way that opens up huge possibilities for storytelling and worldbuilding. And the setting for this particular tale is even more enthralling - a massive vertical city built upon impossibly tall towers, each housing its own kind of culture from the tops to the depths.
But all that aside, I was surprised at the quality of the writing from Keith Baker. He definitely brings the world and the character to life in just the right way. That, and the performance of the narrator, made the dialogue sound witty and natural, and the characters burst with life. Also the nature of the story as kind of a detective-type story and not an epic world-shattering event felt very refreshing.
Another thing that I like about Eberron is the integration of the races. In this world, the traditional evil races such as goblins, orcs, and even medusa are not simply enemies that pop out to try and kill the characters. These races exist in their own pocket of Sharn, with their own societies, and their own rules. Traveling there does not necessarily battle has to occur - although racial tensions still make such an encounter likely. But when battle does occur, it's just as likely to be between a human and dwarf, or some other race. That kind of leveling of the playing field also makes Eberron feel refreshing and interesting.
I enjoyed this one a lot, and hope to check out the other two books in the series and maybe other books by Keith Baker.

A Wonderful Introduction To Eberron
As a first time aspiring DM to the world of Eberron this book definitely helps pull back the veil to the rather unconventional world of Eberron opposed to regular d&d settings. The narrator stands out brightly though, his skill is AAA hollywood quality voice acting.

Amazing resource for ANYONE planning to use Sharn.
Gives an example of many different scenarios most games Eberron campaigns may call upon at least once.

A great look into the complex world of Eberron
An incredible asset for anyone thinking about running an Eberron campaign.
I am currently running an Eberron campaign from my group, and this book has allowed me an in-depth look into the city of towers, and a new way to flavor my story .

great story only passable narration
I read this story in print and was happy to find it in unabridged audio book format. the narration was somewhat lackluster. I will need to think it over before I pick up the next in the series.
