What a fabulous story!
Romance, adventure and truly round characters (even the minor ones are so vividly drawn!) make this one of the finest books I’ve listened to in a long time. There was humor and pathos too; on a number of occasions I laughed aloud, at other times tears welled up. These are characters you can’t help root for. Farrell, for instance, has such a giving, selfless heart, yet despite his being a prince and one of the most powerful wizards of his age, he thinks of his own failures and doesn’t realize the depth of his courage or the true nobility of his soul.
The plot drips with intrigue and suspense and kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. Absolutely riveting from start to finish. I just couldn’t stop listening.
It’s so refreshing to find a book driven by a thrilling plot and rich wonderful characters, and isn’t just another collection of graphic sex scenes cobbled together and masquerading as a story.
Happily, the excellent writing by Mr. Gordon is accompanied by an equally stellar performance by Mr. Leslie, who breathes life into every character. Together, writer and reader make for a work that’s just plain superb in every way. I’m so glad I stumbled on this book! Already it’s one of my favorites.
When oh when are the sequels coming out??
