THE LADY OF THE SORROWS The Bitterbynde Book II

Kris Faulkner narrates THE LADY OF SORROWS with full values and attention to detail. With warmth and a staccato rhythm, he summarizes Book One before slipping into Book Two, in which he depicts heroine Imrhien's urgent journey to the King-Emperor of Erith to tell him of the hidden riches she has discovered. With adept pacing and crisp diction he matches voice and mood to the character of Imrhien, whose voice and facial scars have healed but whose memory is not yet recovered. Faulkner's vivid portrayals of medieval times, replete with sorcerers, monsters, nightmares, and Storm Riders, capture the fantasy to make it believable. Faulkner's versatile vocal range, fast pace, and emotional pitch deliver a complex plot that will leave the listener eager for the final audiobook.
