Publisher's summary

“Undeniably riveting.” (Booklist)

The terrible Emerald Queen is vanquished...but the war in Midkemia is not yet won, as the remarkable Raymond E. Feist concludes his magnificent Serpentwar Saga with Shards of a Broken Crown - a spellbinding tale of magic, conflict, and treachery that sees the rise of a new threat from the ashes of defeat, an evil poised to strike mercilessly at realm triumphant but weakened by war.

This is epic fantasy adventure at its finest - a classic that stands tall alongside the best works of Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin, Terry Brooks, and other acclaimed fantasists. Feist once again works his breathtaking magic in Shards of a Broken Crown, and, as always, he “brings a new world alive” (Portland Oregonian).

Unique and addictive

Great unexpected characters, thorough character development over multiple books, and unexpected storylines. Once I started the series I couldn’t put it down.

Feist is a master craftsman of words.

no time spent listening to Feist is lost time. His insight and brilliance is art and more than worthy of your consideration.

Another beginning.

A continuation of the historical timeline. All the ups and downs of men and beasts. As with the "real" world, time and people change but fate and destiny do not.

Good read. Love the series.

As usual, Raymond Feist did not disappoint.. I enjoy his writing on the cultural aspects of his stories. I’m going to have to go back and reread some of the others like the Riftwar saga.

Excellent ending to this series

Great story plot & enjoyed that the characters were able to chose their destinies instead of going with tradition. Many interesting twists though out the book. Excellent read or listen for any one who enjoys excellent fantasy novels.

Great book, marginal narrator

I’ve been reading these books since the mid ‘80s. Very wonderful stories that keep the reader, or in the case of audible, listener engaged.
The narrator, however, drives me up the wall. Where do his pronunciations come from? Aruta? Gatis? What is a leftenant? Nicholas Guy Smith did an excellent job with the first four books. Why couldn’t he continue with the rest?
