Fantastic narration for a good story but...

Great narration.
Good writting with some Shakespeare-esq farce. Let down by an abrupt unsatisfying ending

Great story and all; but for the cheapest of tricks, I might be inclined to give 6 stars...

Incomplete and poorly structured
Reviewed: 05-05-16
While being advertised as an omnibus I cannot imagine these 'three' books ever being read individually. The ending of each being arbitrary and seemingly random. Unfortunately this is also true for the end of the 'omnibus' as a whole which abruptly ends with no conclusion.
The majority of the characters are well written and engaging. The story itself has a tendency to ramble and could easily be condensed by a third or even half.
The performance is actually excellent on the whole with the exception, unfortunately, of the main character who maintains a laughably child like voice throughout. However I wouldn't hesitate to listen to the narrator on a different book.
I will not be seeking out 'book two'.
