About this listen
Three decades after returning home from the adventure that made him famous, the legendary dwarf treasure hunter O’balin Undur has gone missing. Many have presumed O’balin to be dead, including his old friend Bindle, the aged and worn mayor of Mountainside Village. After receiving an urgent letter addressed specifically to him, Bindle sneaks out of town to visit the home of an old friend. There he is greeted by a surprising guest who claims to have seen O’balin alive, searching for a mysterious stone called the Summoner’s Gem. Middle-aged and tired, but still craving adventure, Bindle leaves behind his home and family and embarks on a quest to find his long-lost friend.
Along the way Bindle forms lasting friendships, travels to new and strange places, and finds himself face to face with a wizard in an encounter that will forever change his life.
Experience adventure, suspense, and even laughs in the epic follow-up to J. Edwards Holt’s Little Men, Big Treasures.

Aside from the political unrest in many of the stories, extra tension is evident when looked at the complicated buildup of the characters’ character, and their continuous need to develop into something more. These fantasy stories are short but powerful. They heavily focus on complex structures that deal with moral dilemmas in a world of magic, supernatural powers, and unrealistic appearances of creatures that are only fictitious to the unbeliever.

Story
Dreamy fantasy stories have actually been a trend. They’ve inspired millions. As opposed to the lengthy novels, these stories are short but cut to the chase in an instant. They light up the weird and the uncanny, the marvelous as well as the fantastic: All the things we know are going beyond the reasonable and instantly realistic - into looking-glass, beyond the songs of the impossibly haunting violin, with the twisted trees of the ancient timbers.

I really enjoyed the continued world-building and the opportunity to reunite with Bindle and friends. It's refreshing to get this sort of high fantasy quest adventure featuring dwarves as the good guys, highly intelligent, and leading the adventure. You generally don't see all three of those things at once when faced with dwarves in this flavour of fantasy. If you wished the adventurous individuals among the hobbits of Tolkein's world were more like Gimli and the dwarves, you'll love these books!
The narrator, James R. Willoughby III, was pleasant to listen to and did an excellent job of bringing each character to life, making them distinct and easy to decipher, without adopting any annoying extremes in pitch or accent. Overall this audiobook was a very fun experience, and I look forward to continuing the adventure in book 3 shortly!
I was granted complimentary audiobook access to The Summoner's Gem on Audible as part of my participation in a blog tour for this title with Audiobookworm Promotions. Thank you to all involved in affording me this opportunity! My thoughts are my own and my review is honest.

This is a quaint, PG-rated tale. There’s a smidge of violence but most happens off the page. I really liked the quest element to it because Bindle isn’t exactly certain what his final goal is until well into the story. However, the story is nearly all male characters (there’s 2 wives who get a few throw-away lines) and it comes off pretty monochromatic, giving it a very dated feel.
There is some very silly scenes that had me smiling and chuckling, like with the faun and his mead…. and then the basement full of mead… Haha! I loved the imagery. Just imagine swimming through mead! The action really ramps up at the tail end and all of a sudden all sorts of beasties appear like a rhino and some gorillas. So unexpected! Part of me liked it and part of me was like, ‘huh?’ Anyway, by the time the tale ended, I had had a good time even if the plot was a bit predictable. 4/5 stars.
The Narration: James R. Willoughby III was OK. His voice did make me think of the original Rob Inglis narrations of Tolkien’s works. So Willoughby’s voice was well suited for this more traditional fantasy story. He had a decent spread of unique voices for the characters so they all stayed easily identifiable throughout the story. He did have a different pronunciation for O’balin’s name versus the narrator for Book 1. But I won’t hold that against him as it wasn’t his decision to switch narrators. My one issue was that often his ‘S’ sounds were a bit sharp and sometimes even approaching a hard whistle, hurting my ears even though I was listening on my phone speaker & not on ear buds. The pacing was good & there were no tech issues. 4/5 stars.
I received this audiobook as part of my participation in a blog tour with Audiobookworm Promotions. The tour is being sponsored by J. Edwards Holt. The gifting of this audiobook did not affect my opinion of it.
