EXcellent audiobook, exactly as expected. I was hesitant to take the abridged version, but I don't really get the time to listen to an unabridged trilogy.

I thought the abridged version was absolutely fine - the story still flowed, and with one or two minor exceptions I didn't get the sense it was abridged at all.

Excellent narration and story, but you probably knew that already :)

Excellent, as expected!

A wonderful story, wonderfully read by Tim Piggot-Smith, who brings a real depth of character to the different parts. The audio is also nice and clear. My one issue is that it is abridged; so much of the story is left out.

A Brilliant Story

Excellent story by Bernard Cornwall. I own the book but have struggled to read this due to the amount of characters yet and being able to focus therefore being able to listen to this over various evenings has really helped my comprehension. Voice acting was flawless in its delivery as well.
