Aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the five-star category, but a smaller one-star share shows that responses are not uniformly favourable. The sample is limited, and no written feedback is supplied, so it cannot clarify what listeners liked or disliked. Consider the trilogy setting and the 10-hour-45-minute unabridged runtime when deciding whether this audiobook suits your listening plans.
