About this listen

 After bitter fighting, Tavi of Calderon has eventually forged an alliance with Alera's oldest foes, the savage Canim, and he must escort them on their long sea-voyage home. This will strain their fragile accord - but the worst is yet to come.

The inhuman Vord have spent the last three years laying waste to the Canim homeland, making it a desolate place indeed. Then the Alerans become stranded there, cut off from their ships. The Canim alliance will be tested as they enter the killing fields together, depending on each other's strengths if they both are to survive.

For a thousand years, Alera and her furies have withstood every enemy, and survived every foe. The thousand years are over.

A note for the listener: the previous audiobook narration contained sound effects (including trumpets) these have since been removed from the recording. If you already own this title in audio, please re-download the audiobook to your device.©2008 Jim Butcher Fantasy Fiction Rage

All good. Kate had a good range of voices. Can cope with accent despite being vaguely American. Pronunciation of legionnaire was really bad though and it crops up alot! Grrrrrr

All great as usual except that bloody poor editing fanfare to cover some editing breaks...

The stupid fanfare returns.

good book, rolled along nicely, I kept feeling that a line two was missing sometimes. the narrator did a good job on the voices, not so good on the spacing between pov sections and chapters. and the editor loved random trumpet fanfares

good, with random trumpets

The editing on this, and most of the series for example, is just atrocious. The random horns in the middle of parts, the jerky skips which sometimes actually cut out parts of the book. This is at least my third listening of these books and I'm annoyed it still hasn't been fixed.

Great book spoiled by a poor recording

Took a while to get into it but then couldn't stop. Very different to the Dresden Files

Great series. Took a while to get into it
