With Lord of the Isles, David Drake returns to fantasy with a towering and complex epic of heroic adventure in an extraordinary and colorful world where the elemental forces that empower magic are rising to a thousand-year peak.

the reading style was a bit strange. I really don't like the inner conversations because they just went over the top and added a reverb to them.

good read from drake.

I lost track of characters and the seemingly random events they fell into.

I suspect there is a grand scheme and a theme, but I kept getting lost. Then stopped caring.

Too many characters doing too many things

Too many 'Mary Sue' characters from the word GO; and tangents galore, it's not always clear WHY what the main characters are doing is even important. If one was running this as a D&D campaign it would be amazing but as a novel it gets tiresome

…Of Mr. Page.
I’m sure I would have enjoyed it more if I wasn’t so distracted by his “Monty Python”-esque character voices… a British accent can only go so far… beware!

Too distracted by the voice…

Well told story told in the classic fantasy style of myth, magic, and mayhem. Michael Pages does a great reading creating distinct characters as he introduces us to the Lord of the Isles saga. David Drake lays out a solid foundation to build his world. Great ear candy if your looking for a good fantasy tale.

The start of an epic
