At last the return of Hennet

I was happy to see Hennet return to the series, I like having a few brash characters around to givethe others a ard time. Regdar is still troubled over the loss of Naull and Lidda is... well Lidda, gotta love her. The new character in this one is Sonja a druid who feels much more like a druid than Vadania did in Treachery's Wake.

I liked that this story does not flash back and forth between heroes and villains, it just sticks with the party and we make discoveries as they do. In this way you are actually surprised once in a while about what is causing the ice plague and why.

I did have one gripe that keeps this one from getting 5 stars and that is while Sonja uses a nice variety of different druid spells to get throught the novel Hennet seems to only know magic missile and web. I understand that sorceres know fewer spells than wizards and priests but come on. For example when the characters encounter a dragon he fires a magic missile at it. Magic missile on a dragon, is that wise? He did acquire an invisibility spell in Oath of Nerull but hasn't found a need for it in this one. But as I said Sonja does use a lot of interesting magic.

There are some very interesting cold terrain monsters to be encountered in plague of ice which I liked and also two encounters with orcs and gnolls which I found tiresome. Don't get me wrong Lain has really gotten orcs and gnolls down I just wanted something new this late in the series.

I was liking the dialouge quite a bit, there are a couple of memorable lines especially from Sonja. And of course Lidda kept things lively.

Some thoughts on "T. H. Lain's" Plague of Ice.

I enjoyed this book much more than the previous Dungeons and Dragons novels in this iconic series. The images and descriptions are much more evocative than the others. The characters are slightly more believable, although they still use late-20th-century dialogue, which is annoying at first, but you soon forget about it. I guess I'd rather have modern English dialogue than try and interpret some kind of Planescape dialect (That's another rant, planespeak bugs me).

I liked the introduction of the ice druid in this book, she's introduced quickly and immediately shown in action, then slowly developed over the whole novel. That's a lot more than even the iconics get, which is a shame. Do you remember how in the description chapter of the Player's Handbook, it says that Lidda calls the Move Silently skill "foot-paddin'"? Well, I'm still waiting for her to say it in the novels.

Enjoying it

Love the series

Another Sword gets destroyed in this one

Saberhagen again weaves his magic in the continuing tale of the Swords and the people involved with them. This story includes Wayfinder, Shieldbreaker, Woundhealer and Sightblinder. One of these Swords does get destroyed by Shieldbreaker, but read the book to find out which. Also the Ancient One, or Wood, is the enemy in this one. He has appeared in some of the other Sword books as well. The story also introduces some new characters that will stick in your memory. A huge man, who is a grape grower, is mysteriously given Wayfinder by an unknown stranger. The huge man uses the Sword to find his future bride and the adventures and troubles he encounters on the way. Not the best of the Sword books but still fits very nicely in with the series. It is the next to last book in the series. Recommended!

Now searching for answers and help for his brother, Jack finds himself on the run from a lethal group of government agents - and from something monstrous that stalks his woods. Something not of this world...and hungry for flesh.

Members Reviews:

Interesting beginning

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

I would recommend this book to someone who is VERY interested in zombies. Anyone marginally interested may find the story interesting, but not enough to take away an enjoyment of the genre. And the feel of the book is that it is building toward a "happy ending" in the final book, which, for me, is NOT what zombie novels are really about.

What three words best describe David Doerschs voice?

The narrator does a credible job with both male and female voices. He could be a favorite of mine once I hear more of his work. Three words? Emotive, consistent, likeable.

It Was Ok - Hoping #2 Picks Up

I love a good Zombie story. This had the basics of a good story, but didn't make it. The lead character, a Park Ranger was likable enough, though his young teen daughter was fairly annoying. There are only maybe 3 tense confrontations, none of which are scary. The book just abruptly ended. No closure on anything, you are just left to wait for #2.

I liked the narrator and generally I enjoy J. R. Rain's books but this one was a little mild, not quite boring but there was nothing scary about it. I hope the next one picks up on the action and at least gives the reader a goosebump or two.

One third of a book to make it a triology.

This book wasnt for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone who is very new to the genre.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Eloise J Knapps "Undead situation-sequel"

How did the narrator detract from the book?

He did not.

You didnt love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

None what so ever.

Any additional comments?

Just stay away.

Great Escape

Enjoyable break from all the news and politics. Well written and builds suspense as you go along. Should read "Mythology 101" for character background.

You may believe in magic after this series!

Book three in a series of four. Keith wants to find other mythological beings and hopes to find some in the clouds! Dola and baby Asrai are kidnapped right from the farm! Keith is an intern at an advertising agency! How will they get all of these things to work together? Another fun romp with the wee ones and the big ones!

Five Stars

An enjoyable read!

Not the strongest of the series but it kept my attention.

A Delightful story of understanding and co operation between friends ...

Publisher's Summary:

On the eve of her retirement from the army, Mistress Commander Angharad Godkin finds herself re-activated and directed to replace the governor of the newly conquered territory of Shraeven. With its multitude of diverse societies and religions, the province will not be easy to tame; but Angharad has thirty-four years of experience and is determined to succeed - even with the additional challenge of an ex-lover as her second-in-command.

However, what starts out as a seemingly predictable military challenge takes multiple unexpected turns at the hands of Shraeven's rebellious people, their unorthodox beliefs, and their capricious, demanding, and very tangible gods. Angharad quickly finds herself the central piece in a game being fought on too many levels, all of them very foreign to her nature and background.

But if she's being forced to play, she's going to play to win; and Shraeven may come to regret having gotten her into the game.

Book 1 of 2 of the Godkindred Series.

Members Reviews:

When gods play chess, the pieces are alive

As fantasy worlds go this one is a little off the beaten path. It shows us the hubris of ego and the hubris of dynasty. The edges start out a little familiar. Military life, packing down, ready to stand down.

Then it goes someplace far different. The story takes a glancing blows at several tropes, Military Conquest, Social Assimilation, even Colony At Risk... These and a few more all thrown into the literary blender.

The result is a smooth look at a well constructed world where a hardened, smooth shellac of 'Civilization' hides a gathering of well scabbed over political and religious undercurrents that are anything but civilized.

Members Reviews:

I love this book series.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. I think this is a brilliant and highly under-rated book series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Dracula, of course. There's something just fun about him as a narrator unlike the boy-toy, whining, emo, woe-is-me, self-pitying modern vampires he actually takes pleasure in who and what he is, usually.

What does Robin Bloodworth bring to the story that you wouldnt experience if you just read the book?

Oh, he does a great job and adds emotion to the voices that you might not notice otherwise.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Yes, the scene with the car bomb is intense.

Any additional comments?

I hope they remember the tenth book of the series, A Coldness in The Blood.

HORRIBLE NARRATOR!!!

Let's start with M.R. Mathias is a wonderful author. The story is great. The characters are well developed. Excellent read!

The narrator was the most horrible person I have ever listened to in my life. Ever!

Read: The narrator. Was! The most horrible. Person I have ever. Listened to in my life.

Was only able to make it about 15 minutes before I had to turn off the narration due to her horrible pronunciation, truncated sentences, irritating inflection, and overall nasally voice. I could not concentrate on the story I was to busy likening her to William Shatner's performance of Capt. James T. Kirk.

Don't waste your time or money with this audio book. Do your self a favor and read the book though. Wonderful story!!

Members Reviews:

Painful to listen to

The story itself is well-written and fits neatly into the series. However, the narration was simply atrocious. The narrator sounded like she was reading a romance novel. I did everything I could to cover as much of the book as possible reading it on my Kindle so as not to subject myself to the narrator.

In summary my recommendation is to read this book and not listen to it.

Fun fast paced story.

Story was fun and fast paced. Narrator was OK, but sometimes seemed not familiar with the genre.

Better than expected..

The author and narrator did a fantastic job with this story. I am big E. Cale fan and was wondering if Paul Kemp would only be able to satisfy this storyline. Great surprise!!

Good story, average narration

Byers writes a good story, but the narrator needs to study unfamiliar words. Her characterizations were good, but mispronounced some names and some words. Especially "poleaxe". It's an issue I've heard with other titles in this genre, especially Forgotten Realms books.

Good story poor narrator.

You can tell that the narrator is not a fan of the forgotten realms novels. She narrates the book really choppy and mispronounces many words that are familiar to most forgotten realms enthusiast.
