Imagine the best D&D game you've had, but written down as a novel. This book is basically a Dungeons & Dragons adventure turned into a novel.

Would you try another book written by Margaret Weis and Tracy Hickman or narrated by Paul Boehmer? Great story but there are issues with narration Just know that it isn’t perfect and enjoy the story. Don’t let the narration comments stop you. If you like stories with dragons, dwarves, elves, magic, and wizards, along with a little humor you should give this a try. I think the books only get better as you read through the series. But I find those by Weis and Hickman to be well written, in a fairly intricate world that is interesting, often suspenseful, surprising, and sometimes even funny. It has always seemed to me that Dragonlance books had a reputation as second rate fantasy, and somewhat juvenile.

His pacing is awkward and does not match the action or pace the story demands (i.e. Many are so similar as to confuse the listener about which character is speaking. His voice characterizations are weak and often don't fit the character as described in the text. Boehmer gives us a lesson in diction and pronunciation rather than a dramatic performance.
