About this listen

 When young Alec of Kerry is taken prisoner for a crime he didn't commit, he is certain that his life is at an end. But the thing he hadn't counted on was his cellmate.

Spy, rogue, thief, and noble, Seregil of Rhiminee is many things, none of them predictable. And when he offers to take on Alec as his apprentice, things may never be the same for either of them. Soon Alec is traveling roads he never knew existed, toward a war he never suspected was brewing. Before long he and Seregil are embroiled in a sinister plot that runs deeper than either can imagine and that may cost them far more than their lives if they fail. But fortune is as unpredictable as Alec's new mentor.

Unlike other reviewers, the narration wasn't my problem!
I have made it just over halfway through this book and will now be returning it. I don't care about the plot, I don't care about the characters. My interest in both has been diluted by exposition. The entire "story" has been a barrage of pointless details about the world, which are proving far too arduous to endure. If they were coloured in any small way by the point of view of the characters involved it might enhance the experience somewhat, but instead it's rather akin to reading an encyclopedic documentation of dry facts for posterity. I really wanted to enjoy this book - and I've heard subsequent volumes get better - but this first installment has ruined any interest in whatever comes next.

An encyclopedia of irrelevant detail.
