About this listen

The Greatcoats - legendary heroes, arbiters of justice...or notorious traitors? The Greatcoats are travelling magistrates bringing justice to all...or at least they were, before they watched the Dukes impale their King's head on a spike.

Now the land's heroes are reviled as traitors, their Greatcoats in tatters. Facio, Kest and Brasti have been reduced to working as mercenaries, but when they find their employer dead - and are forced to watch as the killer plants evidence framing them for the murder - they realise things are about to get even worse.

For the royal conspiracy that began with overthrowing an idealistic young king is spreading to Rijou, the most corrupt city in the land, and the life of a young girl hangs in the balance. When every noble is a tyrant and every knight is a thug, the only thing you can really trust is a traitor's blade.

Wow, what an absolutely awesome read

If you’re considering reading/listening to this book, definitely do it!

I found this series from a comment I read of Conn iggulden.

From beginning to the end it was a pleasure.

An amazing setting, with lots of plot twists and interesting characters, I couldn’t stop listening.

Now I’m off to listen to the next in the series!

How well the story was told

Decently rude but a great story and a few good plot twists and a amazing reader but sometimes it can be a bit transparent

Fun story

Bit of a mish mash wish too many things happening one after another. Honestly there's at least 2 books worth of content in this story but its fun if you don't take it too seriously

Interesting, but flawed.

It's well written, I love the setting and like the characters, but I'm docking a point for using the 'main characters spouse was killed as motivation' plot. I'll likely pick up more to see if it improves though.

Had potential but fell short.

Infallible and invincible protagonist. Death of a wife used as a plot point. Women written with very little dimension.
