Summary

‘Fantasy as it ought to be written’ George R.R. Martin

The gripping finale to Robin Hobb’s classic Farseer Trilogy.

With the king no longer living and the heir, Verity, missing and declared dead, Prince Regal has treacherously seized the throne.

Regal’s torture has left Fitz more dead than alive, and more closely than ever bonded with his wolf. All who once loved him believe him dead: even Molly, now pregnant with his child. But he cannot go to her without placing her in terrible danger.

With nothing to lose, Fitz sets out for Tradeford, where Regal has withdrawn, having heartlessly abandoned the north of the kingdom to the Red-Ship Raiders. His quest: to assassinate the man who has destroyed his world.

the narrator did great justice to the author's brilliant array of characters. i only hope her other books tell more of this world

incredible fantasy storytelling

I felt this was the weakest of the trilogy, i couldn’t quite enjoy the pacing but as usual a good narrator can help smooth the edges.

I hope to see more of the books rebooted, preferably this VA Joe Eyre

Weirdest paced but solid narration

One of the absolute best fantasy novels, though you have to start at book 1. It's one glorious, coherent, consistent and bewildering tale.
As long as Audible continues to re-record RH's works with the quality of narrators of Joe Eyre, I'll continue to listen.

Writer & narrator in perfect harmony

I’ve listened to these books quite a few times, and this new recording makes them even better, the new narrator does a really great job 🙂

Good

As book that’s over 30 hours long that isn’t action packed could very easily get ‘boring’ or monotone or monotonous but this narrator is so fantastic that never happens.

Absolutely loved!
