A Crown Imperiled

Book Two of the Chaoswar Saga

De: Raymond E. Feist

Narrado por: John Meagher

“Feist constantly amazes.”
—SF Site

“Feist has a command of language and a natural talent for keeping the reader turning pages.”
—Chicago Sun-Times

The Chaoswar—the fifth and final Riftwar—is in full, explosive swing in Raymond E. Feist’s A Crown Imperiled, the second book in the acclaimed, New York Times bestselling fantasist’s monumental saga of courage, conflict, and bitter consequence. Once again, Midkemia, the author’s brilliantly conceived fantasy milieu, is in gravest danger from outside invaders—and from treacherous forces within—as the death of a powerful leader throws the world into chaos and threatens all hope of enduring peace. Returning in A Crown Imperiled are some of Feist’s most memorable characters—including the great sorcerer, Pug, who has been a fan favorite since his introduction in the author’s beloved classic, Magician—and the action, as always, comes fast and furious. The Chaoswar Saga is the master fantasist working at the peak of his powers, and further proof why Raymond E. Feist, like Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin, and Terry Brooks, is one of the true giants of epic fantasy fiction.

Good. but had some plot inconsistencies

Another good book by Raymond Feist. Had some plot inconsistencies that I didn't expect from Feist. First character X is doing something, then in the next chapter it talks about character Y doing it instead. Still a good continuance of the epic story started many many books ago.

redemption in ending

the author once again leaves you searching for the next book. what an epic and unthought of ending. a little predictable with the return of a couple of characters but the reintroduction was really unique in it's delivery but repetitive in it's overall idea. I have to say the guy reading is getting better at his voices and character identification but overall emotion is lacking for me. I hope that the next book being the conclusion does not fall off like a couple if the previous sagas and the one reading throws his all into the telling!

Elegant way connecting the beginning with end

Masterful writer and an epic tale, shame the narrator is so bad, but don't let that deter you from listening to this excellent book.

Great story, but reader was inconsistent.

Names kept being pronounced not only different from all the other books, but the narrator pronounced them differently during the narration within the same books.

One last stand!

Coming to the end of reality as it is known by the realms known to man. Where to now?

great

This story was great. I loved it all. I need to read the next one.

I hate this reader.

love the story but hate this reader so much I almost gave up. he blast through and rarely pauses between sentences. you start getting confused when a group of people are talk as to who said what. or when the story jumps from people over here. to people over there. just a terrible reader.

Great story and narrator improving

Best listened to with speed set to 0.85. Pronunciation started to improve by the last 2 chapters of the book. More variation of different voices are much improved his voice also Carrie’s more appropriate emotional tone and much less monotone, which is greatly appreciated.

Overall, this book is much more tolerable to listen to.

Getting impatient for the end

There are very few interesting developments in this story. It's mostly just a continuance of what happened in the last book, there's a resolution to most of the "civilian" storyline, but otherwise you are left wondering how this will all end and what it will all mean. There's actually not enough exposition, just more of the same old stuff. I dont like the narrator but that is subjective. I think the series already saw its peak a long time ago, but at least I only have one more left. Too many characters having adventures that are too similar to their ancestors' adventures. The last 30 min packs in a ton of new interesting ideas. This book SHOULD have been that.

abysmal narration.

not feist at his best, but a great story nonetheless.
however the performance by John Meagher leaves much to be desired. how did this get past QA?
