FALCONDANCE

As a guard in the Wyvern Court, Nicias must walk a fine line between the avians (those who shift into birds--Nicias himself turns into a falcon) and the serpiente (those who shift into serpents). He must answer the call to his homeland, where he discovers his own magical destiny. Andy Paris gives an appropriate voice to an older male adolescent with conflicting feelings and desires. Paris handles all the fantastic pronunciations as if they were commonplace and keeps other characters realistically distinct in both age and station. Series fans and new listeners will enjoy this tale and Paris's masculine delivery of it. J.M.S. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN/ JUL 06]
