I don't leave comments often, but I just wanted to say thanks to you for your efforts in posting this book. It is one of the best and the narration truly does it justice.
I have read these books several times over the years. I am delighted to find this audio. Have not had many hours sleep, these last three days. Really enjoyed this. Thank you. Will have to give it a week or so before I cuddle up with Silverthorn. I need sleep. Thank you so much!!
The narrator did an exceptional narrating skills. I like how he brelliantly delivered and gave justice on each character of the story line and brought them to life. Very impressively done👏👏👏
This was one of the best stories I've listened to, I had trouble turning it off to get to sleep. I've listened to it over the past few days and now am recommending it to others. Thank you for the upload!
Thanks so much for the upload, I absolutely destroyed all 33hrs of this audiobook as I worked as a builder in new zealand this week. Really appreciate it bro, made the days fly bye, I imagined I was in battle a couple of times whilst swinging a hammer haha , thanks again hope you've had a great week :)
When I am not singing with my band, I also build houses in the United States! That is me singing “Time After Time” in the video on this page. Thank you for joining me in enjoying these books. Stay safe good sir, and may the gods shine their favor upon you.
The original version is so pleasant to hear. I read the original release and now hearing the authors first writing its like discovering this story for the first time! I truly appreciate this recording.
Thank you for this wonderful book. One of the greatest stories out there. Second only to LOTR for me. Sheer brilliance and zero vulgarity. A rare thing indeed.
Wow thanks for another great book. I started reading with my daughter when she was very young. As a young kid and an young adult I never read for pleasure because I was so dyslexic , but everything changed when I started reading with my oldest daughter when she was young. It’s like a switch was turned on and I quickly made up for all the years I’ve missed. I love reading the same books and talking about them with my kids . I have literally read thousands of books since then of every type. Whether I’m hunting fishing , doctors, or anything, I take a book in one form or another to listen to. It’s just amazes me that their just seems to be a limitless supply of great reading out their, and great listening. I could not imagine going on a road trip with out and audio book. So again thank you for taking the time for down loading this.
I had written this book off after struggling through through first few chapters on audible. The difference in narration is night and day. Can't wait for more of your work.
This book was my first book I ever read that is not related to school. This is my favourite series of all time. I have read the Magician probably 7-8 times over the past 30 years.
@@jdrhodes9049 the story is set about 30 years after the events in Magician and is the second book in a mini series, the other book being Prince of the Blood. Both books are by Raymond E. Feist.
I listened while painting the house, I was so engrossed that I hardly realised I was doing such an arduous job. This book was so good and really well read - thank you
Thank you so much for your time and effort in this. Fantastic character acting and attention to detail. Looking forward to anything else you release 🙏🏼
To all that read this genius of a writer. Raymond E Fiest is a god amongst writers. I've read all his books and nothing compares. When I read, I get lost in the caricatures and the story, but to have it narrated is a gem of great magnitude. To have such a great narrator, just puts life to the story and every caricature. Thank you so much..please release them all.
Just wanted to say a big thank you for narrating this story. The 33 hours was a pleasure to listen to and your voice acting was great, allowing the younger characters to mature over the 9 year time frame. Not sure how I can listen to the other books in the rift war series now knowing the voices won’t be the same..
At first, I was skeptical to listen cause I thought it would be boring and once I started I couldn't stop it was an amazing listen from start to finish. The author and the narrator or narrator's you did the books justice ❤❤❤
I listened to this book as I was assembling a pendulum, wood clock, it seemed to be the perfect book for the task at hand. It was a great pleasure to listen to this and I wondered why I have never ran across this before. Great storytelling, just a wonderful escape in these troubled times. Thank you so much!
The book is great and I Love the narrator, but I listen to this to go to sleep and the loud noise at the end of the book always woke me up in the middle of the night.
at 52 i had forgotten how much i like this book at 16. i then read the whole series if you ever get around to all of them i will gladly listen to them as well. thx u so much for your work.
I'm on book 3 now 24 hours in to the story I only started this book 3 days ago can't seem to put this one down the storyteller is the Goat in my opinion great voices for characters can't wait to see what happens as I carry on from now great read so far thanks for this great book😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you very much for your time and effort. I read the entire series years ago. Listening to you reading it, while I'm working, I get the same images in my head I had a the time. Well done!
Thank you ever so much for uploading this! I have insomnia which is a nuisance this book has helped me sleep a lot better. Weird I know but if you could upload the rest of the trilogy that would be amazing! 🥰
A wonderful book from cover to cover. I sit and wait in eager impatience for the hope to be honored with your upload of the remaining books in this beautiful series.
As a sailor (of tiny one man boats) I'm impressed by the description of the fear and elation that one feels when out at sea in survival conditions. You do talk to your boat and curse in ways you would never consider when at land.
Thank you and your support staff for a fine story, a very well written, prepared and presented production that paints whole new worlds in vivid scenery and events in our minds. Thank you kindly and graciously. Mario SirSirReal Villarreal.
I am speechless. So much aww and admiration to your reading. You brought a life to the words on the pages of already a great story. Thank you so much. You made a long ride to & from work very enjoyable. I will start Silverthorn in the morning. Even if only half as good as Magician it will be a treat.
I have been totally transfixed to this audio for the last four days even finding myself mimicing the characters facial expressions (as i perceive them to be) easily my best audio to date (not an easy feat after the Evaran chronicals) I thank and commend both writer and narrator.😊
I really enjoyed this as a teenager & now again as a 55 year old... Hearing this was like visiting old friends, once forgotten and now found, shared memories relived. great for a rainy night in front of the wood stove. Already praised but I want to do it again. !!! Awesome !!!. 7:37 chapter 31 Q - has anyone put together a time line, chapter times??
I know i may be a bit late, however these 3 parts have helped me get over so much! The way in which you narrated with such poetic ease, the way you told a story as if it were your own, it is honestly incredible! I really hope that you release some future parts in the near future! I've subscribed and I've got a few friends and family who will be listening in the near future! Thank you for everything! Can't wait to hear more!
Just finished listening to the entire story. It was amazing. Thank you for the upload. I was so invested in the characters and each of the part in the story. Im looking for a copy of the published work to keep and read for my self.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, I couldn't stop listening, because the story was sooooo enthralling. I wish I could talk to the author. I didn't expect the time span. I wonder what the other books are about. I hope you upload them soon to distract me.
The rest of the rift war saga is even more enthralling! A tale of epic proportions! It will take some time for me to get the permissions I need to post, I highly recommend reading or listening any way you can. Thank you for finding my channel!
I read the first five books when they were released, back in times before having family, and a busy job, which stopped me having any reading time. …so I think I stopped at Prince Of The Blood. Loved all the books. I still have the next four after that, in hardback, unread, and I bought Magicians End when it was released too. What a joy to hear Magician again now, I was planning to re read it (the rereleased version which had an extended page count - is this narration that version?) when I discovered this! Decided to give it a try rather than read, and whilst I will always read again I’m future now life allows me to again, I loved listening to this. Big thanks for the upload onto RUclips, it’s brought delighted to many people, and kudos to the narrator.
@@sharonstrang715 I'm sure if I read this book first before wheel of time I would of probably said the same. Robert Jordan is a great author as well. Right now I'm loving Brandon Sandersons books.
30 years ago I 'discovered' Magician, Silverthorn, Sethanon... The Empire books etc. Revisiting Midkemia and Kelewan after all these years has been a fantastic experience. The Narrator is quite good. If you enjoyed this book, I recommend listening to "A Wise Man's Fear" but make sure you listen to version narrated by "Rupert Degas". The other Narrators are terrible.
The Name of the Wind is the 1st book in the Kingkiller Chronicles, not Wise man's Fear. Also there is a third book Doors of Stone that is supposed to be coming out, although Patrick Rothfuss has procrastinated to the point of annoyance.
@@rcfroftyy9325 Having come to Riftwar after just finishing the two Kingkiller audiobooks though RUclips here I can only empathize with folks who've been waiting for DoS since '11. Here's hoping the '22 release speculation is less disappointing...
The narration is amazing!! I have to say, I was looking for more in the way of the life and trials of the magician, with the title being so, I was expecting to be taken into the world of a magicians journey, maybe through a magical transformation or similar, which we hear a little about but the book was more based on war, and I’m not a pro war person so the violence of it was disappointing, I would have liked to hear more about the magic of it and less the politics and war. Good story overall tho and thank you for reading it so fantastically! 🎉
Something always felt wrong when Macros was yelling at Tomas that he'd given him everything (8:20:00). And I realize what it was. Macros is acting like he's done something wonderful for Tomas...but in fact he just used him. He took Tomas' life and sanity and messed with it. He caused Tomas pain and anguish. He used him to save Elvandar....and then acted like Tomas owed him something. No, not at all. Macros owes Tomas. He warped his mind and life and tortured him, and now he yells at Tomas because Tomas isn't all, "Oh Macros, you're so awesome"? Bah! Macros is neither good nor bad. He just is. And what he is is extremely flawed and messed up.
There are something like 20 or so books involved with this world and some of these characters. If you read these further series more light is cast on Macros' supposed origin and you may begin to see how complex he can be.
I don't leave comments often, but I just wanted to say thanks to you for your efforts in posting this book. It is one of the best and the narration truly does it justice.
The narrator is the best I have heard in a long time!
Steven Pacey in Joe Abercrombie books is absolutely fantastic as well
I have read these books several times over the years. I am delighted to find this audio. Have not had many hours sleep, these last three days. Really enjoyed this. Thank you. Will have to give it a week or so before I cuddle up with Silverthorn. I need sleep. Thank you so much!!
I read this book when I was 9 years old. It got me through many a dark day 💜
I was 14 first time agreed mate 🍻
Same.
The narrator did an exceptional narrating skills. I like how he brelliantly delivered and gave justice on each character of the story line and brought them to life. Very impressively done👏👏👏
My thoughts exactly
Who is he?????????? I would like to hear more from him. He’s fantastic
Only other Narrator I’ve heard like this is Peter Kenny he narrated the Joe Abercrombie First law series
This was one of the best stories I've listened to, I had trouble turning it off to get to sleep. I've listened to it over the past few days and now am recommending it to others. Thank you for the upload!
yeah man 10 hour shift in 2 hours and i havent slept
If you liked this book. Try the trilogy he co-wrote starting with the book, Daughter of the Empire. Has to do with the family of Acoma on Kelewan.
Thanks for the tip, I found it and have saved it for my next audio book! @@Kfaircloth13457
