As usual, Magnificent Kay.

Second part of a magnificent story, and a great examination of human loss and achievements.
Berny Clark does a very good job, although I admit to preferring Simon Vance as per other titles from this author. If you read or listen to one of Guy Gavriel Kay's superb offerings, you will end up with all of them sooner than you think. (And eagerly awaiting new publications)

One of my all time favorites! So epic!

Hard to say much without spoiling. Aside from a little overly sexualized characters, this has to be one of my favorite books.

Extraordinary, elegant prose.

So well written. Great characters, complex plotting, and just the right amount of the supernatural. First rate fantasy.

absolutely engrossed

I love Kay's work, these 2 books were some of his finest and Berny Clark did a wonderful job of narrating. I will listen to this one again for sure

So very worth reaching the plateau

Having come straight from the novel previous to this one, I’ll admit to growing a little weary and restless at times during (roughly) the first half of this second book. Once everything this novel was moving towards hit its stride, however, I never wanted to stop listening. It’s kind of painful to come to terms with saying goodbye to these characters. Some extraordinary storytelling by Kay and—another—epic achievement by Clark.
