You'd think being a Prince in a vast intergalactic empire would be about as good as it gets, particularly when Princes are faster, smarter, and stronger than normal humans. Not to mention being mostly immortal. But it isn't as great as it sounds. Princes need to be hard to kill - as Khemri learns the minute he becomes one - for they are always in danger. Their greatest threat? Other Princes. Every Prince wants to become Emperor, and the surest way to do so is to kill, dishonor, or sideline any potential competitor.

Great Story and Reader

My kids (age 13 and 10) and I have really enjoyed this series. We are so disappointed to find that the next book will not be out until March.

Definitely keeps you on the edge, the writing style is suspenseful but fun. The characters are interesting and different.

Good Fun

Would you try another book from Garth Nix and/or Allan Corduner?

I have other books by Garth Nix, The abhorsen series..those where horrible.

Would you be willing to try another book from Garth Nix? Why or why not?

Was Sir Thursday worth the listening time?

Yes.

Any additional comments?

The entire series is aimed more toward children however I enjoyed it and had a lot of fun. The narrator does an excellent job with his different voices.
