À propos de cet audio
In a former life, Jack was gifted, meaning he possessed peculiar abilities. If rich folks found themselves in a jam, Jack could use his talents to get them out of it. Where others were sure to fail, Jack's aristocratic clientele could always count on him to finish jobs cleanly, efficiently, and leave no trace, for which his services commanded a hefty fee.
But one day, Jack picked a fight with the wrong man and his old life came to an end. But, as it turned out, his story was far from over.
A mysterious supernatural being whisked Jack's consciousness away and into the body of a young nobleman living in a different world in the multiverse—a magical one.
In it, he must play the part of Max Renard, illegitimate son of a traitor who was recently executed on orders from the king, which caused Max to lose his home and be forced to dwell in a small town on the western outskirts of the kingdom.
And now this new life-his last life—is the one he must lead . . .

LOVED IT.
Too damn short

I will add that I am an English speaking Canadian that thinks french canadians are the scum of the earth so much so that I won't even capitalize french or canadian when referring to them.., so half the book being done in an over the top atrocious french accent probably didn't help my scoring. In fact, I tell you plainly that I took 1 star off for that alone. I'm going to try and refund.
Meh.

The premise is that a magically gifted assassin is allowed to reincarnate with his memories intact... into the body of a debauched, useless bastard son of a noble who is mired in debt and surrounded by enemies. Our main character has to recover his magic and dig himself out of the hole his former self has left him in - and meanwhile, disentangle himself from the schemes of the people around him, especially his family.
It's a good story with an excellent narrator - I don't think I've ever heard so many different French accents before! But the story is marred by an ultimately unlikable main character. While our hero is far better than the bastard whose body he finds himself in, he is full of so much confidence that it becomes his defining characteristic. Yes, he can afford to be, since he is so much more powerful than the people around him, but he doesn't match this confidence with a noble trait that would make him charming. Instead of being kind or pursuing justice, our hero is simply arrogant - which dries up my interest.
Noble intrigue, second chances, and arrogance
