About this listen

Drizzt returns to Luskan, and the Realms will never be the same!

The Arcane Brotherhood has long held the city of Luskan in their power, but when corruption eats away at their ranks, Captain Deudermont comes to the rescue of a city that has become a safe haven for the Sword Coast's most dangerous pirates. But rescuing a city from itself may not be as easy as Deudermont thinks, and when Drizzt can't talk him out of it, he'll be forced to help.

Drizzt is back in action again, and bringing more changes to the Forgotten Realms setting. This all new hardcover adventure will keep Drizzt fans guessing the whole way, with edge-of-your-seat action and plot twists that even the most casual listener of the Forgotten Realms novel line can't afford to miss.

Again, Salvatore delivers us with a gripping story yet some moron still chose to have it read by a narrator unfit to read a headline let alone a fantasy novel.
It's not like he didn't have 20 previous books to listen to and get a bit of background research on how to pronounce names
Most annoyingly he was used to read a book based in the city of Luskan, only for him to be unable to pronounce it correctly (it's Luskan not Loooskan ya prat!).
There are many more mispronunciations, some needing me to Google characters or dig the actual book out to see who he was talking about, but the fact he had to constantly repeat the mispronounced Luskan so often made the book unenjoyable.
Thankfully I only need to persevere one more book until Victor Bevine is back.

Brilliance delivered by an unfit narrator

The story is fine but the narrator mangled the names. not a patch on Victor.

Spoilt by the narrator

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
As with all of the Drizzt series this book is fantastic however I really struggled with the narration as its was completely different to Victor Bavins work and most of the characters had their names woefully butchered constantly..

Great book not so great reading

I was do disappointed in this series due to change in narrator. When you've listened to 27 audiobooks in Victor Bevines voice switching to someone that pronounces things sobdifferentky and who uses a totally different reading voice, style and speed is so very off putting. I would have bought these for kindle and read them if I'd realised there would be such a difference. Will watch out for future purchases
