Publisher's summary

Ahren and his companions journey on to Evergreen, finding new courage after the traumas of the Green Sea. Setting off, then, to traverse the continent in search of the missing Paladin Yollock, it isn't long before they find themselves sucked into a maelstrom of adventures involving a woman who has been robbed, a desperate Cape Verstaad grandee, not to mention a cutthroat city which proves itself a veritable nest of ne'er-do-wells. Controlled by the brilliant assassin Reik Silvermantle, this hub of lawlessness and immorality presents Ahren and his friends with one of their greatest challenges . . .

How much difference and narrator makes a story

No disrespect to anyone who helped make this audiobook, but this audiobook is not up to the standard you guys have set. The narrator was not on the same level as the last narrator. He didn’t bring the book to life as it’s normally is, when I listened to it. The book by itself is awesome. It was like makers tried to remake a really good recipe but re-created it with crappy ingredients. I hope for the rest of the series, the makers return to Gilbert Jackson, as narrator. Other than the narration, everything else was awesome as usual.

Narrator sucks

Narrator sucks, glad he isn’t in the next book! Good book otherwise. Looking forward to a sequel book to help bring the series to an end

Great Story! Even with a different narrator.

I missed Gildart Jackson's narration of the story. Stewart Crank did a good job but by book 11 every character was owned by Gildart except for those who were introduced in this book.

The series has taken a more dark and dreary tone since the more bubble gum like beginning. It makes sense since we are coming towards the end of the series. This book felt similar to book 9.

I have enjoyed the character development of the new characters. This is a great series and well worth the listen.

my least favorite book of the series

The biggest shock to the system was switching narrators. Why would you use a different narrator when you're almost done with the series? I loved Gilbert Jackson. The new narrator was good. But having to get used to how different characters sound was challenging. I couldn't really get into the book. The storyline had lots of nare do wells and intrigue. So hopefully readers can get into it.

New narrator messed me up

Great story as usual but the change in narrator, although talented, threw me off after so many books in the series with the original narrator. Series this long is like a relationship and I felt cheated on.

Another great chronicle in the series!

Great story line as usual!
No offense to the reader, but changing narrators on the 11th installment was absolutely the worst thing about this book. Completely confusing trying to understand who was who as none of the character voices were what I, personally, have grown accustomed to.

Poor narration.

The change of narration sucks! This narrator did not do this story justice. After having only one narrator for so many of the earlier books in the series to change into someone that could not give life to the characters was really a let down.

Still a great story

I was wary based on all the bad reviews due to the change in narrator, and of course I love the original narrator, but this one wasn't as bad as I was expecting! After I got used to the difference in character voice, which didn't really take too long, then I really enjoyed the story. I could still tell when different characters spoke, and by the end I was enjoying the narrator as well as the story. Great series!! I'll buy the next book regardless of which narrator performs it.

mid at best

I have thoroughly enjoyed this series since the first book. I didn't like this book because of the narrator change. if this was the only narrator that would have been fine but getting used to one voice for 10 books and then switching ...wasn't great.
