From AudioFile:
Paul Boehmer's voice is solemn as he narrates this fifth and final fantasy in the Underland Chronicles. Gregor learns why no one has told him what is in The Prophecy of Time. It states that "the warrior will die," and Gregor is the warrior. Now he must make a hard decision: stay and fight or flee with his family. Paul Boehmer portrays Gregor as he struggles with his conflicted emotions and his growing feelings for Luxa, Queen of Regalia. Boehmer creates atmosphere by slightly modulating his voice to depict the darker tone of the story and the maturity of its theme. The satisfying conclusion is bittersweet as listeners say good-bye to the many unforgettable characters in this finely crafted series. L.A.C. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine
