The Murderess Crow

The Krosann Saga, Book 1

By: Sam Feuerbach

Narrated by: Daniel Wisniewski

The crow hissed: "Give me one good reason why I shouldn’t cut your throat here and now. One single damn reason."

The prince froze with fear and said nothing. At last, his behavior was logical. His facial features had lost any order. Shivering, he closed his eyes in expectation of certain death.

But then there was a whispering. "Could there be three reasons maybe?" She suppressed the reflex to laugh—she hadn’t laughed aloud for years and was not sure if the muscles needed were even still functioning. Despite herself, she responded: "One good reason is sufficient, but alright, you have exactly three attempts."

Let’s see if the smartarse has anything else up his sleeve.

In the heart of the medieval world, Prince Karek crosses paths with a professional murderess—an encounter that could alter the kingdom for all time. Yet her contract specifies assassinating none other than Prince Karek himself.

A good story.

I really liked the characters. They were varied and believable and showed growth. A good read.

Binge-listened to them all

I had listened to Feuerbach's "Grave Digger's Son and the Waif Girl" and really loved it and the narrator Gildart Jackson did a fantastic job on those books. In this series Daniel Wisniewski is a familiar voice from video games and he also does a fantastic job here.

I truly loved these books, starting with the "Murderess Crow". I have actually listened to 3 now and am looking forward to the fourth. I don't know where they end but I am looking forward to more for long time (this from someone that has read all the "Wheel of Times" and some twice).

There's this familiar theme of the bully in school in this one that seems a little trite. But I love the character of the crow which to me does not seem trite at all.

In this world the magic is rare - most people don't believe in it. Lots of fighting and adventuring. Later on there's ships. It seems like there are always ships.

I am surprised that there are so few reviews on a book that I really loved.

Want the whole series!!!!

Please please please make All of his series into Audiobooks!!
Great Books with wonderful characters!!
The narrator is Excellent!!!!

Grows on you

This book was a bit slow and would have been more fun if a little faster pace. I like where the story is going and want to see what happens in the next book. I loved the gravediggers son and it started out slow as well so I have hope for this series. The narrator does a good job, but I'm not sure he's the best fit for this particular book. He sounds a bit too posh.

Interesting characters!

Rarely do you find a fantasy book with such interesting characters. This was well worth the listen!
