Wings Of Fire The Dragonet Prophecy Audiobook

Okay, Dragonet Prophecy Audiobook Fans, Let's Be Real

Confession time: I listened to the Wings of Fire: The Dragonet Prophecy audiobook. And I have thoughts. Possibly controversial thoughts. Prepare yourselves.

Don't get me wrong, dragons talking is inherently cool. Giant lizards breathing fire and saving the world? Sign me up! But there's something... about listening to them that made me giggle a little too much.

The Narrator's Choices

Let's talk voices. Did anyone else picture Clay, the MudWing, sounding like a gentle giant? Maybe with a slight drawl? I didn't get a drawl.

Instead, I got... well, I'm not sure what I got. But it wasn't my mental Clay. The other dragonets suffered similar fates.

Sometimes the voices were just… surprising. Like when Tsunami, the SeaWing, sounded suspiciously like a grumpy old man clearing his throat. Is that just me?

The Prophecy... Read Aloud

The Dragonet Prophecy itself is epic. It's the backbone of the whole series, right? So hearing it recited with dramatic flair should be amazing.

And it mostly is! Except when you're doing dishes and you miss a crucial phrase. Then you have to rewind. Rewinding dragon prophecies is not as cool as it sounds.

Maybe I’m just easily distracted by shiny things (or dirty dishes). Either way, the prophecy felt a tad overwhelming at times in audio form.

Sound Effects: Yay or Nay?

Okay, sound effects are a tricky beast. A dragon roaring in your ears? Awesome! A gentle breeze rustling through the rainforest? Also, awesome!

But somewhere in between, there were some… questionable choices. Was that supposed to be a SkyWing taking off? Or a vacuum cleaner malfunctioning?

I swear, some of those sounds were more distracting than helpful. My brain kept trying to identify them instead of focusing on Starflight's brilliant observations.

Speeding It Up (Don't Judge)

Here's another potentially unpopular opinion: I listened to it on 1.25x speed. Maybe even 1.5x sometimes. Don't judge me!

Life's too short for slow-talking dragons, okay? I needed to know what was going to happen to Glory, and I needed to know it now.

Besides, sped-up dragon voices are hilarious. It's like listening to a room full of hyperactive squirrels. Try it sometime. You might be surprised.

Overall... It's Still Awesome

Despite my playful gripes, the Dragonet Prophecy audiobook is still fantastic. It's a great way to experience the story, especially if you're on the go.

It just might require a little suspension of disbelief when it comes to the voices. And maybe a fast-forward button for those sound effects.

So, should you listen to it? Absolutely! Just be prepared for some unexpected vocal performances and possibly a few moments of unintentional comedy. Happy listening! Remember, the fate of Pyrrhia rests on your… ears?
