About this listen
THE MERCENARY: A dark elf of limitless guile dares to challenge a king and carve for himself a place in the inhospitable World Above.
ILNEZHARATA and TAZMIKELLA: Ancient dragons of great power, accustomed to easily manipulating the humans around them. But not all humans are so easily led. When they pushed Entreri and Jarlaxle into the heart of the Bloodstone Lands, not even they could have imagined the strength of the human assassin's resolve, or the limitless expanse of the mercenary's ambition.

Great story, terrible narration.
I'm not sure why they chose this David guy over Victor, but he is emotionless and tonedeaf. Dwarves apparently have an Irish/English accent now, in contrast to almost every other voice acting in existence.

Great story, narration meh
As always R A Salvatore delivers a great story. Well written battle scenes move fluidly and gracefully. Favorite characters fleshed out more as the story and series continues. Why they changed the narrator to David Colacci after 15 books from Victor Bevine is beyond me. Audible or whomever should step up and have this book in the epic series redone for at least continuity. Colacci does not come close to Bevine in character acting nor can he pronounce key names properly. Ie “Sharron’s claw??” Many times I almost stopped listening forgoing the adventure altogether as it was a struggle to get through. Thankfully if you persevere, Bevine is back in “The Thousand Orcs” and the story can resume properly with him at the helm.

loved every second of it! being able to listen to this story through Victor Vevines inflections is truly breath taking. I cannot count the number of times he had me laughing or gasping.

Great story. Bad narration.
Great story as usual for the series and after listening for awhile I've changed my initial thoughts on the narration. they're decent enough but still do not hold up to Victor's from the previous books.

What happened to Victor?
I find it very distracting how the new narrator pronounces the names of the characters. He pronounces Bruenor, Drizzt, Jarlaxle, Charon's Claw, etc. After hearing Victor Bevine pronounce them a certain way for 15 books, to hear them pronounced differently is jarring and always distracts me from whatever else is being said. I know each narrator must want to make their own impact on the story, but changing how the names sound is a less than ideal way to do so. I am also not a fan of the "attitude" given to Drizzt's musings at the start of some chapters, making him sound gruff.

Bad narration.
I don't like to bash anyone, so I'll be as delicate as possible.
we have really come to love Victor's narration. we can tell which character part he is reading just by his tone. this narrator clearly has not read or listened to any of the previous books, as he doesn't pronounce many of the names correctly. I felt like shutting it off when hearing him say bruenor's name, Jarlaxle, and Artemis sword. I would not want to hear him narrate any more of the books we love so much.
WE WANT VICTOR BACK. Looking ahead, I'm glad he will be. the book was good if you're able to get past the massive change in narration.

A satisfying conclusion to Entreri
I like this narrator a lot, and the story itself was excellent, with a great sendoff to Entreri -assuming he isnt due to appear again in later chapters. This may be my favorite entry in the Sellswords Trilogy.

Really enjoyed the book. Took me a little while to get over the change from Victor Bevine. Very different narrator but terrific. thoroughly enjoyed how he portrayed a certain dwarf. A good time and a good listen!

A great ending to an even greater trilogy of books
Jarlaxle has always been my favorite character in the Drizz't series. I'm soo happy he, Artemis and Athrogate were all well played in these books. I wish there were more including him, but that might just ruin the air of mystery that makes him soo intriguing. It was these books that made Artemis all the more interesting and grew him from a villain to quite possibly an anti-hero. Great books and great audio books. You cant go wrong if you enjoy RA Salvatores work, or if you simply enjoy medieval fantasy.

great capstone
this was my favorite of the trilogy, it was interesting to see it narrated by someone else than Victor Bevine.
honestly, having a new narrator messed a little bit with my headcanon voices, but the new characters introduced in the book were expertly acted.
