Jimmy the Hand

Legends of the Riftwar, Book III

De: Raymond E. Feist, S.M. Stirling

Narrado por: Matt Bates

Jimmy the Hand, boy thief of Krondor, lived in the shadows of the city.

Though gifted beyond his peers, Jimmy is merely a pickpocket with potential—until he aids Prince Arutha in the rescue of Princess Anita from Duke Guy du Bas-Tyra, and runs afoul of ""Black Guy's"" secret police. Facing a choice between disappearing on his own or in a weighted barrel at the bottom of Krondor's harbor, Jimmy chooses the former.

Forced to flee the only home he's ever known, Jimmy finds himself among the unsuspecting rural villagers of Land's End, where he hopes to prosper with his talents for con and thievery. But Land's End is home to many who tread the crooked path—and to a dark, dangerous presence even the local smugglers don't recognize. And suddenly Jimmy's youthful bravado and courage are leading him into the maw of chaos . . . and, quite possibly, to his doom.

I just love it

I love all of the (31?) books in this series! Jimmy is really one of my favorite characters! I was so happy when I found out this hit audible! I've already read it a couple times myself, but now I'm listening all the way through the series again on my long drives and it's just wonderful!

Great book

Loved it. Another perfect book. All of REF books are amazing and this one just proves it

Read in CRONILOGICAL order.

I stumbled upon this series when I read the Empress of the Empire trilogy that is part of this 31 book series. I then compounded the problem by using the publication date order. These can be read out of order because this ingenious author has the ability to not slip any serious plot lines. However, I still found myself asking What happened to so and so, and how did this character become this Lord? I'm on track now and thoroughly enjoying this series! This story about Jimmy The Hand is good, and I am so happy I did not skip it. But note this is more like a character fill in, with profoundly moving moments. My husband thought I'd lost my mind when I would suddenly burst out laughing while listening. I have to say I think this is the best narrator of all the books. Each character has their own voice, and I felt like I was listening to a movie. Once I finish this long series, I will read everything I can find by this author!

Another exciting Jimmy caper

An insular Jimmy life experience capturing all the adventure and excitement that make he a central character.

The Hand

it's a great backstory about one of the most interesting characters of this world. and it was very well narrated; you can recognize the characters by only the change in voice tone
