About this listen
The penultimate volume of the mighty Riftwar Cycle
War rages in Midkemia but behind the chaos there is disquieting evidence of dark forces at work.
Jim Dasher’s usually infallible intelligence network has been cleverly dismantled; nowhere is safe. He feels that the world is coming apart at the seams and is helpless to protect his nation.
Quiet palace coups are underway in Roldem and Rillanon; and King Gregory of the Isles has yet to produce an heir. In each kingdom a single petty noble has risen from obscurity to threaten the throne.
Lord Hal of Crydee and his great friend Ty Hawkins, champion swordsman of the Masters’ Court, are entrusted with the task of smuggling Princess Stephané and her lady-in-waiting, the lovely but mysterious Lady Gabriella, out of Roldem to a place of greater safety. But is there any safe haven to be found?
Meanwhile, Hal’s younger brothers Martin and Brendan are attempting to hold the strategic city of Ylith against an onslaught of Keshian Dog Soldiers, and a mysterious force from beneath the sea. The Kingdom might lose Crydee and recover; but if Ylith falls, all is lost.
An unknown player appears to orchestrating these conflicts. Can Pug and the Conclave of Shadows track down this source before Midkemia is destroyed?

Why?????.
Why spoil a series narrated beautifully by Peter Joyce.
This narrator does not do justice to this author or story.

Different Narrator
Great story that feels like it should have been two books not one. Reminded me of Silverton more than any other book so far.

Great story.
Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
Yes, it has a few surprises and I'm looking forward to the next book.
What three words best describe John Meagher’s voice?
Monotone as there is no difference between the narration and when the characters speak, not as bad as some of the reviews I've read but not as good as the previous books. I think we've been spoilt in the rest of the series having Peter Joyce who brings the characters to life. John doesn't have that knack.
Could you see A Crown Imperilled being made into a movie or a TV series? Who would the stars be?
I'd love to see the entire series made into film

Lifeless reading
Excellent book murdered by a lifeless narrator with no timing. Computer generated voice would be better.

The narrator has changed
After 26 or so audio books read by Peter Joyce, it is jarring to suddenly have a new narrator. Particularly one with a totally different accent, style, and pronunciation of character names.

Change of Narrator.
Great story again from R. E. Feist. Although after so many books in this series the sudden change of narrator is a real put off. I tried to persevere with it but the pronunciation of names etc. was too much. I ended up buying the book on amazon.

Going To Read This - Narration Is Horrendous
Gave up after one chapter. Will go read the book and hopefully I'll be able to get the dull, characterless voice of Meagher's sorry narration out of my head!
