About this listen
By the vow of her father and her own desire, Raederle was pledged to Morgon, Riddle-Master of Hed. But a year had passed since Morgon disappeared on his search for the High One at Erlenstar Mountain, and rumors claimed he was dead.
Raederle set out to learn the truth for herself, though her small gift of magic seemed too slight for the perils she must face. The quest led through strange lands and dangerous adventures. Only her growing powers enabled her at last to reach Erlenstar Mountain. And there she discovered what she could not bear to accept. Accompanied by Deth, the High One's Harper, she fled. And behind them came a pursuer whose name was Morgon, bent on executing a grim destiny upon Raederle and Deth. Her only hope lay in summoning the Hosts of the Dead, led by the King whose skull she bore.

Good story annoying pronunciation
I like the story, it picks up well from the first book and it is read relatively well. However I found the pronunciation of Hed as “Heed” very annoying and distracting. So too was the emphasis on the hero’s name - “more-gone” for Morgon. This reminded me of the French and Saunders’ ‘science fiction’ sketch where one of the space travellers, Sharon, was pronounced “Sha-Ron” for comedy effect. I had to listen to it twice to get over it because I got so annoyed with these pronunciations that I couldn’t listen to the story properly.

Good book badly read
I really like this trilogy and enjoyed the audible version of book 1, The Riddlemaster of Hed. Sadly, this one is ruined by having the names of almost all the main characters and places badly mispronounced. There were a couple in book one, but I mostly managed not to let it spoil that one too much. Book two also contains some careless though minor errors, but overall it really distracted me from the narrative.
This is, I think, only the second time in a good ten years of monthly titles that I've complained about the reading of any book.

Great follow-up to Riddlemaster of Hed
Having so thoroughly enjoyed The Riddlemaster of Hed, I was slightly surprised to hear someone different narrate Book 2. But having Fiona Walsh narrate Raederle's story makes perfect sense, and while the accents wobble a little during her narration and she pronounces some words differently from the first narrator, she reads well and with feeling. I have read this trilogy more times than I care to remember, but this reading is beautifully done and very moving.

Great book, poor narration.
Was really excited to get this having enjoyed the first in the series so much. I'm afraid I'm returning this because I couldn't get past the poor narration.
I'm sorry to be harsh but this was badly done. Firstly, it's gauche to try and add inflection's to word's that clearly weren't intended to have any e.g. Hed pronounced Heed, and Morgan being pronounced Mor-Gan, these were the two that bothered me the most. If nothing else she should have listened to the first in the series and made a point of following the precedents set by the narrator of the first book.
Also, really odd accents that mostly I couldn't be sure what dialect she was going for and not the best voice acting. A real shame.
