4 hour story with a full hour of setup exposition

If you are listening to this short story, it’s in the middle of a series and doesn’t need this much backstory. Female characters are expendable plot drivers. If that was the only limitation, It would be forgivable. I think I’m done with Feist for now.

Very short but wraps up an incomplete story.

Completes Feist's Tear of the Gods but doesn't give too much more. Good performance though.

good But shorter then the others

love the series but this felt like it was shorter. I understand the reason for this with the copyright with serria and just getting a ending was nice. but it felt like there could of been more at the end

rushed story?

Feist has been one of my favorite authors for 30 years, but this didn't seem to be on his normal level. I realize he can't do too much without contradicting the timeline he already established. I can only hope he decides to revisit midkemia again in the future.

Good but short and feels like a money grab

I don't want to be negative, I love the author, the series and even came to terms with a new reader. The main problem here is the cost for a 3 hour book. It really seems like a money grab, this easily could have been part of book 3 or a much cheaper purchase price.

I listen to a lot of audio books and usually hate hate hate a reader change after many books in a series have been read by the same person. This started out that way for me, but Matt did a great job and I adjusted to his reading style fairly quickly. And is it pronounced AruTHA or Aruta, lol.

The book is good and consistent with the series, I felt entertained and engaged.

Such a good story!

Loved this story! Such a great end to the series. Raymond always finds a way to make all the characters relatable and lovable.

it was short

The storyline seems to have been made to fill a gap in the timeline. It lacked details and substance.

Short but cleans it up

Short but does help to close things up. Only real issue was the change in narrator threw me. Completely different style took me a bit to get into it.

Another great book from this great author

It's too short!! I've read another about Krondor, I was hoping to learn more about him.

Great conclusion

Tied up most of the loose ends in the saga! One of the more somber endings to the series.
