Great book

The narration Perfect!
the story happy sad thrilling
overall a wonderful book that made me laugh out loud at times and made me sad at others

Completes "The Heir Apparent"

This feels like the second half of "The Heir Apparent". It is almost entirely concerned with tying up the various hanging threads from that book and does not tell its own story.

That said, we do get some excellent character development for Jason and some interesting changes for various supporting characters. Within the restrictions of the plot noted above, the narrative flow is good and the resolution of the story is strong.

I have really liked this series since it was first published, and I'll happily recommend both the series and this book.

Loved it

Joel Rosenberg has a gift for writing fantasy and I’m looking forward to the next edition

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I have heard other criticize this book saying that it is not as good as the previous 4, I agree to some extent. But I have yet to read a epic story line that does not have a book in the middle that was just OK and not as good as the first books that got you into the series. It was work my time and I look forward to seeing where the story goes from here.

Blegh

I read these books as a kid and remember getting through this book and not continuing. Now I remember why.
