To the forest on the shore of the Kingdom of the Isles, the orphan Pug came to study with the master magician Kulgan. But though his courage won him a place at court and the heart of a lovely princess, he was ill at ease with the normal ways of wizardry. Yet Pug's strange sort of magic would one day change forever the fates of two worlds. For dark beings from another world had opened a rift in the fabric of spacetime to being again the age-old battle between the forces of Order and Chaos.

More fantastic prose from my favourite fantasy writer

Publisher's Summary
Prince of the Blood is a work that explores strength and weakness, hope and fear, and what it means to be a man - in a kingdom where peace is the most precious commodity of all.
If there were two more impetuous and carefree men in the Kingdom of the Isles, they had yet to be found. Twins Borric and Erland wore that mantle proudly, much to the chagrin of their father, Prince Arutha of Krondor. But their blissful youth has come to an end. Their uncle, the King, has produced no male children. Bypassing himself, Arutha names Borric, the eldest twin by seconds, the Royal Heir. As his brother, Erland will have his own great responsibilities to shoulder. To drive home their future roles, Arutha sends them as ambassadors to Kesh, the most feared nation in the world. Borric and Erland will be presented to the Queen of Kesh - the single most powerful ruler in the known world - at her 75th Jubilee Anniversary.
But they have not even left Krondor when an assassination attempt on Borric is thwarted. Aware that he is being provoked into war, Arutha does not rise to the bait. His sons' journey will not be deterred, for nothing less than peace is riding on it. Yet there is to be no peace for the young princes. When their traveling party is ambushed, Borric disappears and is presumed dead - sending Erland into spirals of rage and grief as he is forced to navigate alone the court intrigues at Kesh. But unbeknownst to anyone, Borric lives and has escaped his captors. In a strange land, with a price on his head, Borric must use all his wits and stamina to find his way back to his brother.
On separate paths, the two men - one a fugitive and one a future king - make their journey toward maturity, honor, and duty. For every step they take could sway the fragile peace of the land, as those who crave war rally against them - and become ever more daring.

Great story, pretty meh narrator.
So. The Riftwar books were all narrated by Nicholas Guy, who did an amazing job making characters sound distinct and juggling the accents from the various kingdoms/regions in the books. Peter Joyce, while being a clear narrator and not at all hard to follow, does not have the same talent. Maybe I was spoiled by the first 4 books, but I found it very hard to get back into the story with the different pronunciations, different accents, and many of the characters sounding the same. Some conversations between a man and a woman, where it should be the easiest to figure out who is talking, I just couldn't tell.
So, TLDR:
Good story, the narrator is not as good as the previous in the series and makes the overall experience less immersive.

narrator could have been better
another great tale from midkemia. we follow Aruthas sons in Kesh. my biggest gripe about this is the narrator.
he mispronounces already established names and locations and doesn't have the same range if voices as the previous narrators.
