About this listen
Moon has spent his life hiding what he is - a shape-shifter able to transform himself into a winged creature of flight. An orphan with only vague memories of his own kind, Moon tries to fit in among the tribes of his river valley, with mixed success. Just as Moon is once again cast out by his adopted tribe, he discovers a shape-shifter like himself... someone who seems to know exactly what he is, who promises that Moon will be welcomed into his community.
What this stranger doesn't tell Moon is that his presence will tip the balance of power... that his extraordinary lineage is crucial to the colony's survival... and that his people face extinction at the hands of the dreaded Fell! Now Moon must overcome a lifetime of conditioning in order to save himself - and his newfound kin.

Great story, great reader
This is a really fun, fast-paced story that still doesn't neglect the "inner life" of its characters. I enjoyed the exploration of Raksuran culture and the way Moon's conflicted emotions about finding his birth culture so late felt authentic. The characters were fun and the enemy was interesting. The narrator has a pleasant voice and does a good job of varying his voice to differentiate the characters without being over-the-top about it. The whole series is a favourite of mine to revisit, especially on long drives.

Was ok but issues with narrator
Narrator was not consistent with character voices and his voice has a grating sound to it that carried to almost all characters. Also a very limited range to his voice, with a book that has so many female characters in it, some one with a wider voice range was needed. Having female voices sounding deeper and grating or harsh and grating, and some male characters sounding female REALLY gets on the nerves. Not to mention having the majority of male characters having deep thick sounding voices with the irritating grating of the voice. Not sure who picked this guy to narrate this series but they made a very poor choice and the whole series would be better off redone with a better narrator.
