Publisher's Summary
The second instalment of The Riftwar Legacy, Assassins reveals Feist at his storytelling best. There is intrigue, humour, and breakneck action aplenty here from the undisputed master of epic fantasy.
Fresh back from the front, another foe defeated, Prince Arutha arrives to find all is not well in Krondor. A series of apparently random murders has brought an eerie quiet to the city. Where normally the streets are bustling with merchants and tricksters, good life and night life, now there seems to be a self-imposed curfew at sundown.
Mutilated bodies have been turning up in the sewers, the Mockers' demense. The Thieves' Guild has been decimated - men, women, children, it matters not. The head of the Mockers is missing, presumed dead. Those few who survived the terrible attacks are lying low. Very low.
The Crawler, it seems, is back in town. And he's being helped by others more ruthless than he. Can it be the Nighthawks again? The prince enlists his loyal squire, James, to find out. If anyone can unravel what's happening in the bowels of Krondor, he can. He knows the sewers like the back of his hand. After all, as Jimmy the Hand, he grew up there.
Meanwhile the retinue of the duke of Olasko has arrived suddenly at the palace, a week ahead of schedule but with no apologies and many demands. They say they are there to hunt. But to hunt what? Pug's son, William, on his first posting as a knight-lieutenant, must escort them into the wilds. It should have been a straightforward mission....

Best author
This along with all scurf's books is amazing. Peter Joyce animates everything so well. You know who is talking in the story just by the way their voice is used. Fave author, fantastic reader.

Didn't enjoy
I have enjoyed most of the previous trilogies but this one has the weakest storyline so far - long periods of dull and dreary narrative

Would’ve been nice if they had a map as the onscreen image
Voice acting is competent but was constantly annoyed by how he pronounced some words like a-root-a (Arutha)

like fingernails on a chalkboard
Love the story. The pronunciation of names and certain words by the narrator is abysmal though

ok
it's a bridging story. seemed like it could have been a few chapters in another book to set up future books. I enjoy the characters but the story was weak.

Excellent Story !
Loved the Story, was great to hear more about Arutha, Jimmy and William. Peter Joyce as always does a brilliant job of narrating. So descriptive.
