4 dragons for this read, which my 10 year old highly recommended to me (his first King novel). Also my December #doublespin pick.

Audio. Again, King has a way for telling a story. No argument there. It‘s just not the way I enjoy my stories. Was recommended this due to my enjoyment of fantasy. There‘s so much going on. All over the place. I just don‘t have much to say. The characters felt unengaging, the narrator helped. Setting was fun, in a castle, though it was easy to forget this was following a boy grow into a king. Would have been nice to see more of how he ruled.

Super fun book. Absolutely loved it. King writes great horror, of course he does, but it‘s when he ventures beyond that I think we get some of his best writing, some of his best storytelling. The tagged book is a story about brothers, ambition, envy, friendship, secrets and choices—choices big and small. A definite recommend. This is one I‘ll probably even reread.

I first read The Eyes of the Dragon when I was in junior high and have gone back to it many times, since. This is the first time I‘ve listened to it.

The narration and production values were amazing. The producer‘s choices were subtle, but added much tension to an already gripping story.
