About this listen
The first book in the series by the master of epic fantasy, Raymond E. Feist. Ten years after the cataclysmic events of Wrath of A Mad God took place, Midkenia now faces a new danger thought buried in myth and antiquity.
A lost race of elves, the taredhel or ‘people of the stars’, have found a way across the universe to reach Midkemia. On their current home world, these elves are hard pressed by a ravaging demon horde, and what was once a huge empire has been reduced to a handful of survivors. The cornerstone of taredhel lore is the tale of their lost origins in the world they call simply ‘Home’, a place lost in the mists of time. Now they are convinced that Midkemia is that place, and they are coming to reclaim it.
Ruthless and arrogant, the taredhel intend to let nothing stand in their way; but before long, Pug and the Conclave realise that it's not necessarily the elves, but the demon horde pursuing them where the true danger lies. And hanging over Pug always is the prophecy that he will be doomed to watch everyone he loves die before him…

Proffesionally narrated, epic fantasy story.
This was the first audibook of Feist I have listened too. As with the paperback versions I was spellbound. Fantastic narration for a fantastic storyline. Looking foward to more of Feist's work on Audible.

whats with the accent and voice changes?
to agree with some of the other reviews, i have listened to these audios books in the last year from the magician and well.. to get this far and peter to change accents and voices after the consistency of the rest was a little odd.. dulgan,tomas,pug,casper.. well nearly all of them. also to note the pronouncation of some of the characters names have changed ie cayliss... to kaaliss???

The Ending
The ending to this book sneaks up on you and is utterly heartbreaking in its delivery

Same characters, different voices?
I have enjoyed Peter Joyce’s narration throughout all of the Midkemia books and his characterisation has been consistent.. Why, oh why, has he suddenly changed the voices of some of characters we have all got to know and love? It’s bizarre!

Worst Peter Joyce Narration in series.
He's changed the voices for some of the big characters - Tomas sounds like an old Grandad rather than the powerful figure he is.
Casper's lost his accent and for me, it made it very hard to endure those parts of this as an audiobook.
There are other examples too as per the other reviews and it perhaps shows the quality of the production team who didn't pick it up before releasing it.

Rides a Dread Legion
A marvellous example of Raymond E Feist's fantasy story craft. The many disparate characters are seamlessly interwoven into a story that keeps you literally spellbound. Having read most of Feist's earlier works this is up there with the best. Throughout the novel there are tantalising references to previous adventures. It's a shame they aren't yet available to listen to. Can't wait to experience these past favourites if and when they become available on audible.

Poor performance from an excellent performer
Jommy now speaks like Eric, Zane speaks like Jommy, Casper sounds like a kingdom man, Dolgan speaks like a human and Tomas sounds like an old man. Seriously jarring changing all the voices after 20 books of consistency...

good but not the strongest in the riftwar cycle
probably a little futile to mention this but the voice over by Peter Joyce is inconsistent with previous books for some reason. A lot of the characters kinda sound the same and don't sound like they did in previous books.
A decent entry to the series but the also the point where I've started to roll my eyes at the story formula that Feist uses (like scooby doo except there's just another monster under the mask).
