The Dark Tide Audiobook

" Recreating Lord of the Rings? A Good Thing? In this case not if it is so similar. "

" 3.75 stars. A really delightful foray into the world of the fey. Tuck, a warrow (hobbit-like creature) becomes a hero in the war against the evil Dimmendark. "

" Fun enough, but such a Tolkien knockoff. "
