Another great book from Raymond E Feist. Also another great reading from Peter Joyce. Not sure if I had a download error but my chapters in audible for this book was all out of sync with 13 hour long chapters when I think there was about 20. Small error can be easily fixed.

The story as usual is well paced and enjoyable to the end.
I personally don't think the voices of some of the characters are portrayed well, especially that of Thomas. and the pronunciation of some words borders on rediculous.

Foreboding, Epic and Confronting.., I'd chuck in unexpected too!
What did you like best about this story?

A personality for each of the Characters that only enhanced my experience and guided my imagination.
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes - this is a book that makes you feel hope, fear, excitement and a deep sadness.

Disappointing
This book is very disappointing. I am a long term fan of Raymond Feist's books and I have read all the books he has ever written, many of them multiple times. Unfortunately, I think he has finally run out of ideas and he is now recycling old ones unashamedly. There is nothing new in this book, and every section leaves you with a feeling of de ja vous. Far too much time is spent on scene setting, and there is far too little action. The characters are not particularly engaging and I felt myself on the verge of giving up listening multiple times. To make things worse, the narrator is quite unsuitable. His performance oozes pomposity, and I felt that the accents he uses for different characters often felt quite inappropriate. I bought this book as soon as it became available, with a great feeling of excitement - but I won't be so trusting in future.

Good book, average narration.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book itself, but the narrator's voices for the characters were inconsistent and unconvincing. At some points, it became difficult to tell who the narrator was trying to vocalize, the voices were often that similar and interchangeable. Also annoying was the narrators tendency to have the characters *sigh* constantly.
In all, I'd recommend reading this book instead of listening to it - its a good story, but unfortunately the narrator isn't quite up to scratch this time. Four stars for the book, Two for the narration.

I will be honest, this was the first Raymond E. Feist book I have read (Listened to) and then went onto At the Gates of Darkness, I absolutly loved the two books, with Peter Joyce narrating them made it just as good too. I am so hungry for more, WHY is there none Raymond E Feist's other books on this site? I WANT MORE lol I highly recomend this book and book 2 'At the Gates of Darkness'

Rides a Dread Legion
A marvellous example of Raymond E Feist's fantasy story craft. The many disparate characters are seamlessly interwoven into a story that keeps you literally spellbound. Having read most of Feist's earlier works this is up there with the best. Throughout the novel there are tantalising references to previous adventures. It's a shame they aren't yet available to listen to. Can't wait to experience these past favourites if and when they become available on audible.

good but not the strongest in the riftwar cycle
probably a little futile to mention this but the voice over by Peter Joyce is inconsistent with previous books for some reason. A lot of the characters kinda sound the same and don't sound like they did in previous books.
A decent entry to the series but the also the point where I've started to roll my eyes at the story formula that Feist uses (like scooby doo except there's just another monster under the mask).

What happened to the accents?
I found this to be a slow burner. I couldn’t really get into it until about half way through but this always seems to be the case every couple of trilogies. New characters, new plot forming etc. It ended well enough and sets up for what is nearing the end of the whole series. The story probably would have got 3.5 stars if I could give half stars. Also, what has happened to Peter Joyce’s voice? He sounds different when narrating and many of the accents have changed... Pug, Casper and Jommy in particular, all sound very different. For this reason I had to knock another star off my rating.
