About this listen

Newly crowned Wizard King of the North, Alex Rogers, has a real mess on his hands. The surprise successor to the vanquished Vassal King Ailmer, he inherits a kingdom in shambles. Bankrupt from the looted treasury and past mismanagement of the northern kingdom, he must find a way to restore prosperity in a place where almost no one seeks his involvement.

Besides the financial woes, he is besieged by the Lords of Gundor, all seeking a return to the days when there was no central kingdom and the Lords themselves ruled unchallenged on their holdings in the Gundor Valley. Undermined from his first day on the throne, Alex must put them in check with no army, no money, and few allies to draw upon.

As if a bankrupt kingdom and unruly Lords seeking his overthrow were not enough, his newly born child has become the focal point of interest to parties unknown. This unseen threat snatches the newborn child out from under the watchful eye of parents desperate to reclaim their heir.

It's now up to Cassie and Alex to move heaven and earth to reclaim their child and put an end to any plans to alter their heir's destiny.

Such a shame to change narrators so far into this series. The new narrator has seemingly changed the nature and personality of many characters simply by how he voiced them. Emma in particular has become a whiny weak woman instead of the woman finding her strength in her new magical powers that the story presents. Joey has also gained an indeterminate foreign accent that she lacked in the last book! I hope the next book returns to the original narrator. I’m not sure I’ll bother with the next book if it’s still the new replacement.

Dreadful change of narrator

Great story continuing Rogers story but the change of narrator from the previous 3 is odd, anyone having listened before will take a good while to settle into the new voices given to the characters as very few match up to previous. He also doesn't seem to have as wide a range so many female characters especially sound both similar and whiny, which doesn't fit the characters.
Still worth listening to however for the story.

Change of Narration jarring

The first 3 books great story even if Alex is OP but the forth is more centred around the economics of setting up steam power in a realm of magic not really worth spending a credit on

Not bad but not worth a credit

This fourth part of the Alex Rogers series has a different narrator, replacing the excellent Travis Baldree.

Todd McLaren insists on pronouncing some central characters' names differently than in the previous three books and the inconsistency is jarring.

Disappointing performance

Great story line, character development and so much more. It felt like a true fantasy series come to life!

Great Story, wish there were more in the series!
