À propos de cet audio

Croaker has fallen and, following the Company's disastrous defeat at Dejagore, Lady is one of the few survivors - determined to avenge the Company and herself against the Shadowmasters, no matter what the cost. But in assembling a new fighting force from the dregs and rabble of Taglios, she finds herself offered help by a mysterious, ancient cult of murder--competent, reliable, and apparently committed to her goals.

Meanwhile, far away, Shadowmasters conspire against one another and the world, weaving dark spells that reach into the heart of Taglios. And in a hidden grove, a familiar figure slowly awakens to find himself the captive of an animated, headless corpse. Mercilessly cutting through Taglian intrigues, Lady appears to be growing stronger every day. All that disturbs her are the dreams which afflict her by night--dreams of carnage, of destruction, of universal death, unceasing....

This book adds a layer of depth to the whole series. Lady takes us from western mythology to Eastern, takes the wreckage of a tragic love story and the ashes if an older revenge drama and weaves a tale of blood soaked hope.

Best of the series

Its tough to get used to a new narrator after 4 books of the same consistent voice. Especially when some of the characters from previous books now sound radically different. That being said the performance is pretty good, and some of the characters actually sound better with the new narrator. Eventually you get used to the new narrator. Still doesn’t beat Marc Vietor from the first 4 books but I would recommend this if you like the series.

Tough start, but good overall

A great book ruined by a terrible narrator. Not enjoyable to listen to if compared to previous books. Not worth the purchase.

Great story, atrocious narrator

As per usual the quality of Cook's story was fantastic, but the horrible narration really didn't do it justice. I'm not sure if the narrator herself is to blame honestly, but her horrible, almost-racist "Indian" accents were only made worse by her complete mispronunciations of the names. Effectively the characters with bad accents didn't know how to pronounce their own names... Kind of embarassing.

I found I had to take multiple breaks just to be able to put up with the poor performance; her take on The Lady also had the character come off as petty instead of indifferent and cold as she had been portrayed prior to this story.

Let this be a warning to you - narration really does matter - every other book so far I was able to finish in one or two sittings..
I'm still muddling through this one in my fifth...

Narration ruined this book for me
