Imriel de la Courcel's birth parents are history's most reviled traitors, but his adoptive parents, the Comtesse Phedre and the warrior-priest Joscelin, are Terre d'Ange's greatest champions. Stolen, tortured, and enslaved as a young boy, Imriel is now a Prince of the Blood; third in line for the throne in a land that revels in art, beauty and desire. It is a court steeped in deeply laid conspiracies - and there are many who would see the young prince dead. Some despise him out of hatred for his mother, Melisande, who nearly destroyed the entire realm in her quest for power. Others because they fear he has inherited his mother's irresistible allure - and her dangerous gifts.

As he comes of age, plagued by unwanted desires, Imriel shares their fears. When a simple act of friendship traps Imriel in a besieged city where the infamous Melisande is worshiped as a goddess and where a dead man leads an army, the prince must face his greatest test: to find his true self.

I love these books. This is the first time I listened to them instead of reading them. The narrator is awesome, I very much enjoy his reading. The only thing that is a bit off is his voice impressions of women; he sounds like Mrs. Doubtfire when quoting females. It’s funny though.

Great

Another great book in the Kushiel series.

I have only one nitpick. The new voice actor is a male since the POV character is different from the previous three in the trilogy, which would not be a problem if not for the fact he gives drastically different voices to recurring characters. It was slightly jarring at first having just come from the three prior audiobooks, but I got over it, and so will you if you give it a chance.

Excellent coming of age tale.

I have read 5 of the 6 books in this series. This one provides the basis for Emriel, who goes on to be the major character in the next three books. The rest of it wasn't what I cared for, but necessary for the plot structure. If you're into plot, character development, intrigue and a great basis for alternate history this series is totally what you're looking for. I really started to understand the "Love as Thou Wilt" precept. Moral ambiguity set aside, Carey managed to develop an entirely different universe with Terre D'ange. It is a great story that's hard to put down.

Brilliant Segue

loved the book, narrator was awful. voice was pleasant enough, however the pronunciation of many of the words was quite horrid. this baffles me as there is a pronunciation guide available.

great story, horrid pronunciation

with Imriel being a teenager, the narrator should've been younger. sounded like an old man reading mean very special book I enjoyed. not what I would've went with

good but not imri

I love this entire series and really love Imriel as a character.

However, the narration for this book is just absolutely awful so far. (I am in chapter 5). Every adult male character is overdone. Harsh, raspy voices. Almost like they are having a painful bowel movement. And as others have noted, the pronunciations of the characters' names are bizarre. Phedre and Ysandre have the last syllables of their names swallowed, I would have rather had the narrator from the first three books doing Imri's story, if only because her talent level is so much greater.

Dreadful Narration, Incredible story

What made the experience of listening to Kushiel's Scion the most enjoyable?

I love this series. I really enjoy the plot and intrigue and characters. If I hadn't read this book before listening to it I wouldn't have liked it I don't think and all because of the narration done by Vance.

What didn’t you like about Simon Vance’s performance?

Simon Vance doesn't do this author justice at all. After listening to this story from a woman's point of view over the last 3 books it is natural to find some adjustments going to a male narration, but he can't pronounce half the names, titles and places correct and his inflections for each character are totally bazar. Having a lot of trouble getting through this book. Wish he would have stayed closer to the other narrations.

Great story horrible narration
