The Black Prism

Love the print book...audio not so much.

What did you like best about The Black Prism? What did you like least?

I truly enjoyed this book in print and was looking forward to a good listen. The narration is definitely not one of Audible's best efforts and I was relieved to see Simon Vance will be narrating the next two books.

Great story ruined by robotic narration

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Yes- if Simon Vance was reading it!

What other book might you compare The Black Prism to and why?

Brent Weeks reminds me of Branfon Sanderson

What didn’t you like about Cristofer Jean’s performance?

You may as well have the kindle robot read aloud. Worst ever voice. No inflection. Terrible timing. It was like listening to someone read it when they don't actually understand English. The syntax, timing, and colour was missing. Just awful.

Could you see The Black Prism being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Probably a bit complicated for the screen plot wise but I could see Charlie Hannum as Gavin/Dazen

Any additional comments?

Great story which I have read 3 times and will never listen to again from this narrator.

Slow start with great characters

i wish the narroater would be half as hyped about the story as I am :)
but he still does a fair job and brent weeks delivers as in the night angel :)

Good story but very stilted delivery ruins it

Good story but very stilted delivery ruins it
The narration sounds as if it was designed for children and reminds me of the Simpsons😝

Wooden.

Good story, etc. Unfortunately, I felt like I was being addressed by a plank of wood. Poorly performed.

amazing

sometimes you just dont know who to root for, it's well written and perfectly performed, cant wait to listen to the next one.
oh and the twists

amazing plot, but hard too follow

The book jumps between characters alitle too subtely. makes it har to understand who knows what in the end.

Excellent!

I absolute adore the magic system, the narration and the story. Slightly slow start, but good God does it pick up. Love it, love it, love it!

Really Good

Listened straight through. really good world building. a lot of intrigue and good amount of kingdom politics that is fascinating. The characters all have distinct personalities and relationships that have a good flavors to the ears. The characters arent stupid and arent superficial parodies and stereotypes that u know already. The superpower color structure is organized and u can easily understand the system But u will not understand it fully in the first half only at the end do u get all the knowledge to get a proper handle on how it works. It doesn't interrupt the story or prevent u from enjoying it.


I'm pleasantly surprised by how good the book is and how it flows.

Good, different to night angle but more mature

If you liked night angle you will also like this. new magic system and world with interesting ideas..
