Dragons of winter night audiobook free download
How did the narrator detract from the book? Misplaced dramatics and emphasis. Pauses where they didn't belong and not where they did belong. Character voices mixed up.
It was a good story or I wouldn't have put up with the annoying narrator. I really want to like this book. I was actually looking forward to it. But alas, to say no ill of the man himself, Paul Boehmer is just not the right fit for this book.
Really a shame that Audible picked a narrator that reads in such a deliberate monotone that it is almost impossible to tell if it is computer narration or a person. Better than book one because the authors learned writing on the fly as they wrote this series and were better at righting but book two.
The book was great. The BOOK. It was great when I first read it back in the 80s. This audio performance, not so much. What did you like best about this story? The book, itself, is fantastic. You get a variety of characters and personalities and the scope is epic. The narrator's attempt to add more drama is a failure. The pauses and stops make the story choppy.
If it were a boat ride, I'd be sea-sick. He mispronounces half the names in the books. The BOOK is fantastic.
The audio performance, not so much. A story I read when I was a teenager just as good as I remember. An okay performance and a good Series of books.
Worth a listen when all the Great stories run out or if your just stuck as to what you'll read next. The narrator is amazing! He does the most remarkable accents for the characters and brings them alive. The story is incredible. All of the first 6 Dragonlance books are fantastic.
Would gladly recommend! As a way to re-live the books, this is passable. Please don't make this your first encounter with the series. The reader is terrible. His pronunciations are incorrect and haphazard at times. His delivery is wooden and ill-timed.
Yet, it's still not enough to destroy this work of art. First of all I absolutely love this series. The Chronicles Series from the Dragonlance world contains so many fun charecter. This book definately takes you from the first book running through the progression of the War. I started listening to this series with Ax Norman, and then audible switched to the reading by Paul Boehmer. Boehmer reads alot like a text to speech program meets William Shatner.
He puts voices to some charecters but only a few and not consistently. Such a shame this excellent story is spoiled by the rubbish narrator. The narrator expends so much effort pronouncing the words ever so clearly that he totally ignores intonation, punctuation and pacing. It is like listening to an android droning away. I actively avoid any audio books narrated by this guy. I can only hope they re-record these Dragons books with someone good doing the narration..
Would you listen to Dragons of Winter Night again? Yes I would, repeatedly. What was one of the most memorable moments of Dragons of Winter Night? The entry into the nightmare forest of Lorac Unforgettable atmosphere and character interraction, I felt I was actually "in there" with them. Did Paul Boehmer do a good job differentiating each of the characters? Paul is Shakespearean trained and it shows, but I find the diction and pace a little too "perfect" outside of the individual character portrayals.
As the narrator he could have been a little warmer with a less formal approach to the reading. Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
I was thoroughly gripped by the Lorac episode, feeling the pains and elations of each character as the story progressed. The style of writing had the desired effect at each stage of the episode, both crying with despair at the tragedy of the characters, and laughing with relief when the nightmare ended.
This, to me, was the most emotional and most powerfully written part of the book. Any additional comments? I can't express how much I really like these Chronicles, they hold a special place in my heart and I will always go back to them when I need to lose myself in a world of both endless despair and eternal hope.
The depth of this book is vast and I would place it on a par with Middle Earth in it's complexity and history. As a new arrival to DnD, reading the foundational stories is important to me. It helps me be a better DM. Fantastic story. Very well written, but the narration is very poor. This is Sturm and Laurana's book, and a seriously good one at that. There are visible improvements over the first installment in terms of both prose and pacing, plotting and characterization.
A great listen for any fantasy fan. Also, Raistlin. I love how the characters are built up, how we come to be apart of the world and story with our adventurers; we laugh when they laugh! We mourn when they mourn, and We fight when they fight! Fantastic work by the authors and the narrator for his brilliant work on the diversity of so many voices, too! Giving them all very much a sense of relatability and empathy from us as the audience.
Paul Boehmer is an excellent narrator and brings this audiobook to life with this many voices for the characters. This second book in the series sees our merry band of heroes broken up during their adventures and having to follow different paths. The search is on for Dragon orbs that can help in the coming war with the dark queen. Their is a twist in the tale for Tanis and Sturm has to faceoff against the Knights of solamnia.
Another book packed with adventure as we continue to follow the exploits of our heroes. Listening to these stories is like the ultimate journey down memory lane it is bring back lots of good memories. I first read this book 28 years ago and have reread it from time to time since the audible brings an extra special element that just enriched my enjoyment of one of my favourite fantasy trilogies ever. I whole heartedly endorse this audible book and many thanks to all who brought it to life in audible format.

Here is a quick description and cover image of book Dragons of the Dwarven Depths Dragonlance: The Lost Chronicles, 1 written by Margaret Weis which was published in —.
The Barnes and Noble Review Dragonlance fans are going to love this: After more than two decades and dozens of bestselling novels set in the Dragonlance universe, Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman are returning to where it all began — the very first adventure.
Dragons of the Dwarven Depths, the first novel in the Lost Chronicles trilogy, will fill in critical gaps in the original Chronicles saga Dragons of Autumn Twilight, Dragons of Winter Night, and Dragons of Spring Dawning , the classic trilogy that started the Dragonlance phenomenon in the mids.
While the ill-tempered wizard Raistlin, his twin brother and master swordsman Caramon, and the knight Sturm Brightblade search the ruined fortress of Skullcap for a key into Thorbardin, Tanis Half-Elven and hill dwarf Flint Fireforge try to find its hidden entrance. Inside the dwarven stronghold lies sanctuary — and the legendary Hammer of Kharas, an artifact that could be used to defeat the Dark Queen once and for all. With well over novels, anthologies, reference guides, and role-playing games set in the Dragonlance realm, Krynn is arguably the most richly historied, well-traveled, and universally beloved fantasy world ever created.
And like the three original Chronicles novels, Dragons of the Dwarven Depths is classic adventure fantasy: nonstop action, masterful characterization, meticulous world building, and bombshell plot twists around every corner.
This is not only a must-read for longtime Dragonlance fans but also a perfect place for Dragonlance neophytes to begin their literary adventures.
