David Goldfarb

The Novices (Last Reaches, #1) by David Goldfarb, Joakim Hellstedt (Illustrator), narrated by Travis Baldree is an audible book I requested and the review is voluntary. This is not your ordinary dragon tale for sure. The 'heroes' are forgetful and lacking morals and need to send someone out to finish the work they should have finished. They pick three of the least of the lowest of low and send them out to burn the corpse of the dragon they slew, which the "heroes'" forgot to do. But things show more get very complicated and the 'low' may not have money but have more than the highborn in many ways. It is a fun, action packed, creature filled, adventure book with humor and heart. Great book. The narration is perfect for this story! Spot on!!! I enjoyed the clever wit and fun dialogue, the crazy plot and antics and the subtle undertones of who the heroes really were. show less
