Publisher's Summary

Apprenticed to a venerable wizard when his hunter and trapper parents disappear into the forest never to be seen again, Darian is difficult and strong willed - much to the dismay of his kindly master. But a sudden twist of fate will change his life forever when the ransacking of his village forces him to flee into the great mystical forest. It is here in the dark forest that he meets his destiny, as the terrifying and mysterious Hawkpeople lead him on the path to maturity. Now they must lead the assault on his besieged home in a desperate attempt to save his people from certain death.

Narrator Horrible! Returned Audiobook.

Narrator talks almost continuously in a sarcastic tone. Over emphasis names and hawkbrowther words all the time. Apparently has no idea how a gryphon is supposed to speak, obviously never read any other books. Every other accent is Spanish?!? No clue why publishers would continue to use this crapy narrator for following books with such a negative response to his work.
Really really need to redo this series with a different narrator! Seriously!!!
Only continuing to listen in desperate hope it will improve. Did not improve but actually got worse Could not stand this Narrator could finish listening, and this book and following 2 in series is actually my favourite from the Valdemar world.
DO NOT BOTHER LISTENING UNLESS REDONE!

Great story

Really enjoyed the story, but the narrator wasn't my favorite. Story would have been better with a different narrator.

Narrator is terrible

Narrator says everything like he's some middle school actor trying to be profound without understanding what he's reading. Instead of his narration lending meaning to the phrases, descriptions, etc it detracts from them. His weird pauses are as bad or worse than William Shatner's too. Story rating is based of my memory of reading these books years ago. I stopped well before the halfway mark because the narrator is so bad.

Narration is terrible

I have read this book numerous times and really enjoyed it. Thought I would like to listen while I was working. Couldn't handle the attitude of the narrator. Thank goodness all of Ms. Lackey's other books, that I have had the pleasure of listening to, have been skilfully executed. This was a real shame.
