Shards of a Broken Crown

Serpentwar Saga, Book 4

By: Raymond E. Feist

Narrated by: Peter Joyce

Length: 20 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's Summary

“Undeniably riveting.” (Booklist)

The terrible Emerald Queen is vanquished...but the war in Midkemia is not yet won, as the remarkable Raymond E. Feist concludes his magnificent Serpentwar Saga with Shards of a Broken Crown - a spellbinding tale of magic, conflict, and treachery that sees the rise of a new threat from the ashes of defeat, an evil poised to strike mercilessly at realm triumphant but weakened by war. 

This is epic fantasy adventure at its finest - a classic that stands tall alongside the best works of Terry Goodkind, George R. R. Martin, Terry Brooks, and other acclaimed fantasists. Feist once again works his breathtaking magic in Shards of a Broken Crown, and, as always, he “brings a new world alive” (Portland Oregonian).

Great book, marginal narrator

I’ve been reading these books since the mid ‘80s. Very wonderful stories that keep the reader, or in the case of audible, listener engaged.
The narrator, however, drives me up the wall. Where do his pronunciations come from? Aruta? Gatis? What is a leftenant? Nicholas Guy Smith did an excellent job with the first four books. Why couldn’t he continue with the rest?

ending issue

Listened to all 4 books, loved them all until the ending. Felt like a lecture, as if it was turned over to a liberal professor at the very end. Definite ideology applied to ending not appreciated. Satisfaction denied. Had I stopped after the 3rd book I would have felt better about them.

Great book! Wish Audible didn’t suck.

This is the second book I’ve read through Audible where about 30 minutes from the end, the player just completely fucks up and stops playing the book. This is completely unacceptable considering how much Audible charges and how they make it nearly impossible to cancel your subscription.

I have always loved this author

when I was in high school I was introduced to Pug, imaging my joy at finding him again! this was a Great saga!

Excellent ending to this series

Great story plot & enjoyed that the characters were able to chose their destinies instead of going with tradition. Many interesting twists though out the book. Excellent read or listen for any one who enjoys excellent fantasy novels.

horrible narrative

narrator sucks. I could do a better job than this idiot. story, as always, excellent!!!

Good Finish

good Finish to the series, although I still want more. will have to read more of his stories

well done

I loved it and the voices were well done. I'm just adding words so I can submit this

not satisfied with characters ending not knowing

narrator is great 10 things a little weak to me I'm not satisfied with the ending of characters not knowing what's going on not enough

By far the worst book of the saga.

I've absolutely loved the previous three books. This one seems to be jumping from one story, character to the next. Two main characters were basically forgotten. The book is a big disappointment in my eyes, unfitting ending to great saga.

Loved it

Another gem of a narration by Peter Joyce, would thoroughly recommend it to any and all,
