Is Too Young-Sounding of a Voice a Thing?
Reviewed: 09-25-17
I hate to give such a low rating to Ms. Rawlins, who is obviously very talented, but her voice just didn't fit this story to my ears. She sounded too young for most of the voices, and while she is very talented at doing accents, they served more of a distraction than keeping me focused on the story. It's a hardened Western in a SciFi setting, but her voice lacked the depth and age that the story wanted to tell.

Fantastic Listen!
Reviewed: 10-07-11
This is a great story - huge, sweeping space-opera epic that features numerous characters and plots. If you're a fan of Anderson's Dune books, you'll love this series. It's not a rapid-fire pulp novel, this is a grand tale in the manner of George RR Martin or even Tolkien. There isn't a lot of action, true; but it's a massive setting that requires a thorough background. It's absolutely worth the listen, though, because it is a wonderful ride. Guidall is a superb narrator, and really brings the characters to life. Overall, a great listen, thoroughly entertaining!
