À propos de cet audio

Lois McMaster Bujold returns to the vivid, perilous world of her previous masterworks, the Hugo Award-winning Paladin of Souls and Hugo and World Fantasy Award-nominated The Curse of Chalion, with this tale of devotion and strange destiny.

The half-mad Prince Boleso has been slain by a noblewoman he had intended to defile. It falls to Lord Ingrey kin Wilfcliff to transport the prince to his burial place and to bring the accused killer, Lady Ijada, to judgment. His mission is an ugly and delicate one, for the imminent death of the old Hallow King has placed the crown in play, and the road he travels with his burden and his prisoner is fraught with danger. But in the midst of political chaos, magic has the fiercer hold on Ingrey's destiny, and Ijada herself may turn out to be the only one he dares trust.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Inventive, with engaging characters and lively storytelling." (Denver Post)

"Bujold's reworking of a classic romantic situation is distinguished by its setting in a well-crafted world and masterly creation of characters whose fates will keep readers turning the pages." (Booklist)

"Absorbing....Bujold's ability to sustain a breathless pace of action while preserving a heady sense of verisimilitude in a world of malignant wonders makes this big novel occasionally brilliant and not a word too long." (Publishers Weekly)

Another in a very enjoyable series of books. Unfortunately the narration took away from the enjoyment.

Good story, unfortunate narration

This fantasy novel ticked all my boxes: spirit animals, women's wisdom, main characters with tortuous internal conflicts, religious commentary, and a larger than life Viking-like character with his own polar bear. What is not to love? Seriously, I'm going to read some more of this author soon.

I just loved it

I am finding the over-the-top narration so distracting that I can't follow the story. I'm giving up part way through chapter 2. This is a huge drag, as I love the author,

Can't get through horrible narration
