I didn’t get into this series as a child but I love epic fantasy and thought I’d give them a go when I saw the audiobooks in my library app. I somewhat enjoyed the first two, although the main characters irritated me and the pace dragged a bit. My library had the abridged version of book 3 so that’s the edition I am reviewing. The audiobook was missing about 60% of the content and I had to keep rewinding to try to work out what was going on. I didn’t mind the narrator but compared to the previous narrator they used different pronunciations and accents which was quite annoying. I might read the last book at some point just to finish the series but I won’t be in a rush. I had wanted to like this series because I know a lot of people do and I usually love books with magic and dragons, but this just wasn’t for me
