Publisher's Summary

Set 20 years after the events of the Riftwar, Prince of the Blood follows the adventures of Prince Arutha's sons in the dangerously unstable Great Empire of Kesh. Twenty years have passed since the end of the Riftwar. Prince Borric con Doin and his twin brother Erland have been summoned back to their father's court in Krondor. Prince Arutha has decided he needs to tame his spirited progeny and teach them statecraft and responsibility.

Shortly after they arrive home, therefore, he orders them to Kesh, to represent the Isles at the Empress' 75th jubilee. But before the new ambassadors depart, they are attacked. The foiled assassin's suicide reawakens fears that the Nighthawks - a brotherhood of killers for hire - are active once more. But the truth is far more disturbing: The assassin was a member of the Royal House of Kesh….

Despite the dangers, Borric and Erland's mission continues, it being vital to sustaining the fragile peace between the two nations. But the brothers have little idea of the exotic world of Kesh, the strange players at this alien court, nor the hidden forces intent upon tearing the empire apart.

What’s with saying said so much

While the story is great, the narration is distracting, I’d like to know how many times the word said is said through the book, how did editing even allow this through, example, Boric said, then Jimmy said then boric said, jimmy said.
The whole book is peppered through with terrible dialogue. I found myself just wishing for the parts of the book that didn’t have any conversation through it.
The narrator says “said” in such a deadpan way as well that it is very obvious and detracts greatly from the story.
I hope the next books are a little better

enjoyable

It was good to see what has become of Prince Arutha and this is about his two sons - both on separate paths, -one a fugitive and one a future king--make their journey toward maturity, honor, and duty. It was a good story and a nice fantasy political thriller. Not gripping but an enjoyable read

Fantasy genius

If you like fantasy series, Raymond E Feist’s is definitely one to try. None of the books up to the Prince of the Blood have disappointed.

A Good Solid Story

While I thought this book wasn't as enthralling as the first books in this cycle it is still a really good book, solid story line, Peter Joyce is a great narrator and he has the ability to really take you there, this book is another subtlety piece from Raymond, while not my favourite I can't really complain, you won't regret listening
