Summary
This fantastic new recording was released in September 2016 and comes from the acclaimed narrator of The Lightbringer series Simon Vance.
The start of a brand new trilogy from the New York Times bestselling author of The Way of Shadows.
Gavin Guile is the Prism, the most powerful man in the world. He is high priest and emperor, a man whose power, wit, and charm are all that preserves a tenuous peace. But Prisms never last, and Guile knows exactly how long he has left to live: Five years to achieve five impossible goals.
But when Guile discovers he has a son, born in a far kingdom after the war that put him in power, he must decide how much he's willing to pay to protect a secret that could tear his world apart.

Narrator sounds like a stoned drunkard
Good book but the narrator was just wrong for the book, he would have been better suited for Zombie books.
It might be worth getting it redone Brent for people that are new to your series.

It's interesting but it's hard to get stuck into.
the characters aren't particularly likeable. It's like there's a lot happening and hardly anything happening at the same time for most of the book. the reading is decent but not amazing.

Fantastic, hard to get into but totally worth it
I found the first chapter difficult to get into, maybe even the second but binged the rest,
The story has so many twists and turns, nothing is what if first seems but there is nothing that jars
Brilliant writing
I love the narrator which is so important

Loved it
Was having a book hangover from Robin hobbs realm of the elderlings and nothing seemed to interest me since. This is completely different but has really kept my and attention. Characters are complex and multifaceted and story is solid, only thing I’m not keen on is how much the women are objectified, a lot of the story is the perspective of a teenage boy and he’s not gross about it but it just gets a bit tiring hearing about the size of any female characters breasts regardless of how minor their role in the story is.

Good.
Fun book. Magic good. Builds well. Characters interesting. Not the best book ever but I hammered through it fast so it's definitely the audio equivalent of a page turner.

Intriguing and Interesting from the get go
I'm a real stick in the mud sometimes when it comes to reading/listening to an author I haven't encountered before.
Iam very glad I followed my intuition on this one. A real "gripper" from the jump.
highly recommend a read/ listen
