About this listen
The penultimate volume of the mighty Riftwar Cycle
War rages in Midkemia but behind the chaos there is disquieting evidence of dark forces at work.
Jim Dasher’s usually infallible intelligence network has been cleverly dismantled; nowhere is safe. He feels that the world is coming apart at the seams and is helpless to protect his nation.
Quiet palace coups are underway in Roldem and Rillanon; and King Gregory of the Isles has yet to produce an heir. In each kingdom a single petty noble has risen from obscurity to threaten the throne.
Lord Hal of Crydee and his great friend Ty Hawkins, champion swordsman of the Masters’ Court, are entrusted with the task of smuggling Princess Stephané and her lady-in-waiting, the lovely but mysterious Lady Gabriella, out of Roldem to a place of greater safety. But is there any safe haven to be found?
Meanwhile, Hal’s younger brothers Martin and Brendan are attempting to hold the strategic city of Ylith against an onslaught of Keshian Dog Soldiers, and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. The Kingdom might lose Crydee and recover; but if Ylith falls, all is lost.
An unknown player appears to orchestrating these conflicts. Can Pug and the Conclave of Shadows track down this source before Midkemia is destroyed?

Cannot continue listening...
Sadly the narrator is just not the same! Pronounces everything differently and talks so fast I had trouble keeping up. So back to reading I went, great story!! Loved every bit as always. Such a shame about the change in narrator I got so used to his soothing well enunciated timed just right voice!

Difficult listening experience...
As with a number of other reviews, listening to this audio performance of the penultimate book in the Riftwar Cycle was jarring, after listening to Peter Joyce's narrations. It was disappointing that no real effort was made to provide accents. The narrator is a decent performer, but not suited to reading fantasy.

Just why...
29 books narrated by the masterful Peter Joyce only to be crushed by a narrator switch that is jarring and out of place for this series. barely got a few minutes into the book before turning it off in disgust. so disappointed

Good story poorly told.
Classic Feist story, can tell nearly to the end of the story world. Narrator difficult to split between narration and most characters.

Change in narrator is disappointing
I found it very difficult to get into this book with the change of narrator. One example, the change to the pronunciation of many key words to the story line, I would have expected the publisher to pick a narrator that could pronounce words in the same way for cohesion.

Disappointing 2nd last book.
Who in their right mind replaces Peter Joyce with a teenage kid who sounds like he is whispering to you for the whole book.

Narrator
Completely awful narration. Why on earth did Audible use this person to read the book. There would be a billion people who could have made it a more enjoyable experience. I’ve listened to every Feist book and this was by light years the worst reading

Story is fantastic, Narrator is not
I really struggled with this narrator as his cadence and pronunciation of name/words were inconsistent and often just wrong.

Jarring Narrator Change
Why on earth they would replace Peter Joyce (assuming they had to) with an American woman is unfathomable. At least go with a similar voice… Could potentially ruin the end of an epic series of books for many.
