About this listen
The second volume in Robin Hobb’s internationally bestselling Farseer series.
We are here Fitz, you and I, to change the future and the world…
Fitz dreams of Red-Ship Raiders sacking a coastal village, leaving not a single man, woman or child alive. Tortured by this terrible vision he returns to the Six Duchies court where all is far from well.
King Shrewd has been struck down by a mysterious illness and King-in-waiting, Verity, spends all his time attempting to conjure storms to confuse and destroy the Red-Ship Raiders. And when he leaves on an insane mission to seek out the mystical Elderings, Fitz is left alone and friendless but for the wolf Nighteyes and the King’s Fool with his cryptic prophesies.

Critic reviews
“Hobb is one of the great modern fantasy writers … what makes her novels as addictive as morphine is not just their imaginative brilliance but the way her characters are compromised and manipulated by politics.” (The Times)

narrated is inconsistent but story good
the narrate is just as frustrating as ever with his terrible fake accent, although it's less jarring 2 books in. I don't see why he changed his voice for Burridge compared to the first, nor why he changed it for Fitz from boy to man mid way through a chapter

Despite having read the book twice already, so much better in audio format.
Cannot rate this high enough. My initial response to the narrator was underwhelming, but after 2 books I can’t imagine anyone else achieving such a good result.

Does not disappoint!
This is the second book in the farseer trilogy, it draws you into the complex and amazing world that Robin Hobb starts in book 1.
I found myself on the edge of my seat all through the book. The story is so in-depth and the narrator so clever at his voices that I list myself for hours at a time!

Awesome
Loved it, so looking forward to the next one.
It's great finding an author who has a back catalogue that I can pillage!

Extraordinary story-telling
I was enthralled by both the story, and the complex, believable characters. I was concerned that I wouldn't enjoy these first books so much, because I had read the first of the last trilogy before these. I need not have worried, as although I was aware of a few outcomes, it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the story as it unfolded. I'm delighted that there are so many more in this series by Robin Hobb.

Great book and a great read
I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did but, turns out, being read books is better than reading them!

Great story, awful narration
I will be buying the physical copies of these books just so I can enjoy the story without the narrative. The story is fantastic.
It really took me by surprise when his accent turned American. These books could do with a new narrator.
