In later SCI1 interpreters (such as Space Quest 5, Police Quest 1, and Conquests of the Longbow) Sierra used separate drivers for music and sound effects. Depending on the version of the interpreter, this can be supported in several ways. If you like Raymond E Feist and Peter Joyce, you can't wrong with, not just this, but the previous saga's too.Most (if not all) of Sierra's SCI1 games have MIDI music and digital sound effects. I'd swear there were more than one person doing it. Of course, it helps when you have one of the best in the business narrating it for you! Obviously when it comes to narration, it's a personal preference and, for me, Peter Joyce is one of the best multi-character narrator's around. After listening to the first of those, I ended buying all of the previous books in audio format and litened to them all again before continuing with the rest of them. I'd read the first two saga's in physical format, but started the third saga as an audiobook. REF'S books were the opposite for me though. Invariably, I end up giving up after a few chapters and buying a physical copy too. There are so many different races and accents in them, that, for me, it can be hard to listen to and/or follow. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to see where he goes with it! I struggle to listen to a lot of audio books, especially in this genre. It opens up so much more scope for the universe to go into, with new characters and old favourites too. If you like the previous saga's in this universe, then you'll love this. It's a good'n!! Just get it!!įeists book do exactly what they say on the tin. I'm purposely not giving detail so as not to spoil the book for others. I always want all the goodies to pull through, but Feist never lets you have a good story without paying some emotional currency along the way. Some characters I grew to like got killed off. There are epic journeys, battles both physically and mentally testing. Pug, Squire Jimmy, Lochlear and new Goran the moradell and a young untrained magician have adventures together. It revolves around a plot of betrayal as the title suggests, but also focusses on the three different 'races' of elves their reticence towards each other, and history. This book was as enjoyable as all the others. Armed with this prior reading, the relationships between both groups of people and individuals will be really clear. At a minimum read the Serpent War trilogy. 1.05x was my sweet spot.Īlthough this story could be enjoyed as a stand alone book, I absolutely recommend reading the previous Riftwar Cycle books in order. Joyce was reading a bit slowly for my taste, had to speed it just a little bit, and that rounded things out for me in regards to the performance of Mr Joyce. In the beginning of my listening, I did feel Mr. I grew to care about the characters and their well being very much. I did feel great sorrow at certain parts, no spoilers here, but i wished certain things could have been different. Lovely for nostalgia.ĭid you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry? As I listened, images from the game I played so many years ago came back to me. If you have played the video game to this book, this is an excellent way to relive the story and also gain more insight into it. Even if you are not familiar with the World of Midkemia, this serves as a good introduction to it. Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?Īny fan of the author or fantasy in general, will appreciate this book. A novelization of the 1993 RPG Betrayal at Krondor
