Publisher's summary

In a new and major novel, the creator of fantastic universes of vampires and witches takes us now into the world of Isaiah and Jeremiah and the destruction of Solomon's Temple, to tell the story of Azriel, Servant of the Bones.

He is ghost, genii, demon, angel - pure spirit made visible. He pours his heart out to us as he journeys from an ancient Babylon of royal plottings and religious upheavals to Europe of the Black Death and on to the modern world. There he finds himself, amidst the towers of Manhattan, in confrontation with his own human origins and the dark forces that have sought to condemn him to a life of evil and destruction.

Monotone performance

Hard to tell if the story is good as the reader is so monotonous in his delivery I was fighting to pay attention to it.

Excellent Storytelling

A stand alone story that keeps your interest throughout. Sad and horrifying, and very Anne Rice.

a beloved story by Anne Rice

This book is my husband's favorite tale by our beloved Anne.
It is filled with beautiful descriptions of velvet and gold, aching souls and possible redemption.
It's definitely worth listening to.

Sounds like an old radio newscast.

The audio quality dropped about a 3rd of the way through. Sam the Eagle would have been better than what we got.

Imaginative plot, great characters.

This was a really good read. The characters were great and the story is hard to put down. Fast paced, a real page Turner.

Excellent reading of this tale!

This was an excellent reading. Michael Prichards voice is so soothing. It was narrated slowly but this gives the listeners more time to really absorb the story. Considering the weight of the tale, it's utterly appropriate. Would listen to this again.

Lacking audio quality

Seemed like first part of reading was fine but lacking and maybe second half of the whole thing just lost quality and sounded like a recording of a tape playing I guess. Not what I’m used to in my audible acquisitions and experiences.
