Dragonbone Chair: Book One of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn
Classic epic fantasy that takes its time but delivers genuine payoff. Andrew Wincott's narration makes 33 hours feel manageable, even with 847 kid interruptions.
Stone of Farewell: Book Two of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn
Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn's second book remains essential epic fantasy thirty years later. Wincott's narration excels at atmosphere and tension despite limited range for female and non-human voices.
To Green Angel Tower: Book Three of Memory, Sorrow, and Thorn
A 63-hour epic fantasy commitment that rewards patient listeners with genuine dread and masterful narration. Andrew Wincott's character work - especially his gravelly troll Binabik - elevates an already foundational series into essential listening.
