About this listen

A fantastic new novella from the master of magic and adventure. Best selling author Raymond E. Feist returns to the city of Krondor and one of his most loved characters, Jimmy the Hand.

The Crawler: a name whispered in fear…

In the crime-ridden back alleys of Krondor a rival gang has sprung up to threaten the Upright Man’s Mockers. Does the Crawler control the rival gang? Where does his power come from? And does it threaten the peace of the Kingdom?

James, personal squire to Prince Arutha of Krondor, but in the underworld known as the thief and trickster Jimmy the Hand, must travel to Kesh in disguise. There, working with William, lieutenant of the prince’s household guard and son of the magician Pug, and Jazhara, niece to the Keshian lord Hazara-Khan, he must attempt to unmask the mysterious Crawler and rid Krondor of his influence.

Purchased as I wanted closure on the story arc, especially Jazhara.
This very short novella was originally intended as two full novels. It shows, the story lacks depth and doesn't flow well. Disappointing from Feist.
The narrator is limited in range for voices and not a patch on Joyce.

Narration was ok, not up to Peter Joyce standard. I am not convinced that REF wrote this story. Plot, writing and characters out of sync. All of a sudden the plot has “amorous“ connotations? Not convinced. I was close several times to stopping listening, however, managed to plough my way through. On a side note went to a REF book signing a few years back in Edinburgh, a very poor show from REF, complete lack of interest in his audience and the characters in the books. Yet again I left thinking there is no way he wrote the books.

I love Jimmy he's one of my favourite characters ever. The story is a little bit short but otherwise very engaging. while the narrator is not the same as Peter Joyce he is vastly better than the last one.

I love the saga

Having finished Magician's End I decided to have a go at one of the stand alone books.
It's a great shame that Peter Joyce has not done the narration, but this reader does OK.
The story is strong and this short book is surely improved by having a limited cast of players. The end is sad, made more so if you have read the other books and aware of William's fate.
This story also fills in some unanswered questions from previous books, but it works as a stand alone story too.

Good enough

storey was shockingly poor & short considering Feists usual quality. The VO was awful.

surprisingly poor
