Wrong narrator

The narrator was the wrong narrator for this type of setting and missed the mark so very very badly, if the same narrator is used for the second collection i will not be listening to it.

Reads slow

Play it on 1.25x, Julie Hoverson reads slow but does a good job otherwise. I wish names were pronounced the same as in the main trilogy but perhaps this is more aligned with the author since he's more involved here. These novellas as individual works are slightly better than any of the trilogy books. The setting is better than most and I hope Mr. McClellan continues writing within it.

story: meh; narration: horrid

The stories were okay, nothing special. But I REALLY struggled to listen to the whole thing. All the male voices sounded like overly-dramatic, overly-enunciating, snooty pirates. No actual pirate characters.

excellent story

excellent story, subpar narration. these books give an excellent look into the powder mage universe. however the narrator seems to struggle with pronouncing names. she also struggles to make her voice take on a deeper tone(which was unnecessary) for some of the male characters and ends up sounding a bit comical. kinda like a little kid trying to sound like a grown up. honestly it does become a bit distracting for a while maybe even annoying. thankfully the stories are good enough to drown out the performance. loved seeing the main characters of the powder mage trilogy at different points in their lives.

Very good story - narration is off

At first I thought the main characters were twelve years old based on the narration

Just a Good bit of Fun

I read the original trilogy just last year and burned through this in a week. The powdermage universe in enriched and only inspires more love thanks to these stories.

Great job filling in around the main story

narration was good, story was great. don't give too much heed to all the negative reviews. I enjoyed the collection thoroughly.

Narrator is terrible

Every time she spoke, it was like my fingernails were being pulled out of my skin whole. Her voice acting was absolutely terrible and she continually missed pronounced the names from the original narrator of the book. Which was super annoying. This was almost worth returning the book because of it.
