About this listen
Some are born to power, some seize it and some have the wisdom never to wield it.
The Red Knight has stood against soldiers, against armies and against the might of an empire without flinching. He's fought on real and on magical battlefields alike, and now he's facing one of the greatest challenges yet. A tournament.
A joyous spring event, the flower of the nobility will present arms and ride against each other for royal favour and acclaim. It's a political contest - and one which the Red Knight has the skill to win. But the stakes may be higher than he thinks. The court of Alba has been infiltrated by a dangerous faction of warlike knights, led by the greatest knight in the world: Jean de Vrailly - and the prize he's fighting for isn't royal favour but the throne of Alba itself.
Where there is competition there is opportunity; the question is, will the Red Knight take it? Or will the creatures of the Wild seize their chance instead?

The first two adaptations are amazing and you really find yourself immersed in the world and identifying with the characters.
I know that manufacturing audiobooks is a business and there may be many reasons unknown to us listeners as the why the publishers should decide to change narrators half way through but I have to say whatever the reasons, they were the wrong ones.
Why they didn't give Neil Dickson a chance to listen to the first two books and base his reading as well as he could on the voices and pronunciation on them , goodness only knows but we have The red knight going from a well spoken if a little gruff character to a hysterical pirate , cockney sounding knights becoming Scots etc etc , it doesn't spoil the story but it feels like a betrayal and spoils your enjoyment of it.
That said it's once more an excellent installment of the series and I will continue with it .
Recommended for all Game of thrones fans.
WHY CHANGE NARRATOR HALF WAY THROUGH THE SERIES ?

In brief, story is excellent, probably my favourite of the lot, you won't be disappointed. And to be fair, the narrator is fine, if he'd narrated all three I don't think you'd actually have an issue. The problem is the voices change, and certainly for a while I struggled to pick out who was saying what, and because I'd already got used to a set of voices from the previous two books, they just don't sound right.
Audible you need to sort out the front cover which says "read by Mathew Wolf", that's not on.
Otherwise, it's a good listen.
You will get used to the narrator...eventually...

Great story, weird narration.

The story was great! Narration, terrible.
Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
Also false advertising as the cover clearly says it's narrated by the previous two book's narrator.
Stop changing narrators!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Dread Wyrm to be better than the print version?
Having both Audio & Kindle versions I would say they both have their advantages.What was one of the most memorable moments of The Dread Wyrm?
For me, it was the death of de Vrailley. After having his preconceptions of his own holiness shattered by the revalation he was being aided by the wild, he sought a death that would give him back his self recespect. The rescue of the Queen at the tournament and of course the climactic battle that allied men & the wild on both sides.Did Neil Dickson do a good job differentiating each of the characters? How?
Sadly, I was disapointed with Neil Dickson's narration. He seemed to pay no attention to the characterisations created by Matthew Wolf. Tapio Hatija seemed to stutter and the Galles had lost their Gallic accents and Bad Tom seems to have become Welsh! Interestingly, the cover does state that Wolf is the narrator, wich makes me wonder why Dickson is reading it now.Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Only the narration! Sorry. I couldn't resist that cheap shotLove the Book..not the Narrator
