Review: Crop Burner: The Tale of Fearn & The Deamhon by Gavin Black, narrated by Dylan Wheeler
Crop Burner: The Tale Of Fearn & The Deamhon is the debut standalone High Fantasy novel from extremely talented author Gavin Black. The writing is excellent, the world-building is vividly captivating, the characters are well drawn out and relatable, and the overall story is entertaining and compelling.
This reads as a classic fantasy adventure that although employs all the tropes of the genre, manages to come across as fresh and original. Just like in many other renowned fantasy works, the story follows a young farmer boy destined for greatness. Young Fearn was born cursed, but he holds the power to save the kingdom from dark forces. This is all I’m willing to tell you about the plot because I don’t want to spoil any part of this adventure for you, but rest assured, there are some epic adventures expertly woven in order to guarantee your enjoyment.
Talented voiceover artist, audiobook narrator, and natural teller of tales, Dylan Wheeler delights and entertains the listener with his performance of Crop Burner: The Tale Of Fearn & The Deamhon in audiobook format. He does a fantastic job of bringing all the characters to life by harnessing an insane variety of credible voices and accents.
He reads in a mesmerizing voice, he acts, he enthusiastically keeps this story going with emotion, professionalism, and passion. Although this was my first time listening to Dylan Wheeler, I am really glad to have discovered him and I think he is perfectly suited to bring us this captivating story filled with myth, love, loyalty, heroes, ghosts, magic, war, hate, warriors, legends and betrayal.
If you like works of fantasy by Neil Gaiman, Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson, then I highly recommend that you don’t miss out on Fearn’s epic tale because it definitely deserves your utmost attention!
I think that we are bound to see more unforgettable adventures like this coming from Gavin Black and I hope he will stick with Dylan Wheeler as the narrator of choice for those as well.
Crop Burner: The Tale Of Fearn & The Deamhon is High Fantasy done right! If you like beautifully written stories, well-developed characters, and flawless world-building, I highly recommend that you give this one a try!
