What made the experience of listening to Harpist in The Wind the most enjoyable?

In the timeless storyline of mans struggle with change, this story ties the standard with Tolkien. I first read the series in '87, and marveled at the story line then. I discovered it as a audible and quickly bought the series.

What did you like best about this story?

Continous action

What about Simon Prebble’s performance did you like?

Well spoken, good pitch,

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

The same as the trilogy from Doubleday books..."the Stars of Hed"

This series is super epic, detailed without ever bogging down, and generally fun to read. Clearly not for anyone who dislikes fantasy books, but definitely a good choice for readers who only enjoy well written fantasy books that at least espouse good philosophy.

Great Fantasy Series! Classic!
