Great fun story

Really enjoy this series and the last. Great ending as well. Narration is normally excellent but a little odd this time.

Fantastic series so far

Would you listen to The Liar's Key again? Why?

Yes; well told with an appropriate narrator (honestly, the narrator's voice and accent can completely make or break a listening experience depending on whether or not it fits the story/characters!), and an excellent story, carrying on from the first book. I'll probably listen again before the 3rd one comes out!

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Liar's Key?

When Jarl discovers that his power is unstable yet terrifyingly powerful.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

The same as above.

If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Only one man can save his kingdom; whether he wants to or not...

Any additional comments?

Excellent follow on from the first, and I love how it subtly weaves in and around the Prince of Thorns trilogy. Jarl is a wonderful antihero; a little less shocking than Jorg and a little more likeable. And a whole lot less capable!

This series gets better and better!

Cannot wait for the next. I miss Jalan and Snorri already. hilarious, tense, twisty and mysterious.

This book was great!

Any additional comments?

This book maintains the quality of writing and narration that made the first book awesome :) Prince Jalan has to be one of my favorite fictional characters as the situations he ends up in never fail to entertain!If you were a fan of Prince of Fools then you need to get your hands on this!!

awesome

unusual characters that you can't help but love with a story line full of action, twists and turns and unforseen circumstances. the character really delve into certain elements of human nature. and to top it off the story has a healthy dose of humour to make it a very awesome story.

A step up from Book 1!

So, I’m very much in the minority not being utterly in love with Mark Lawrence’s The Broken Empire Trilogy - too dark for me - but I could tell the writing was excellent so decided to give this second trilogy a try.

The Prince of Fools kept me entertained, but not enthralled, so I downloaded the second instalment with more of a “let’s see how it goes” attitude, rather than a “I can’t wait for this!” attitude...........turns out that this was the clincher to convert me to a fan :) What a book! What a story!

I felt this one had more cohesive rhythm than the first, with plenty of characters to love a lot more than Jalan Kendeth, who I have a strong love/hate feeling towards, and for me these were the crucial elements to keep me listening and keen to find out where this was going.

The writing is absolutely superb, with plenty of clever comedy and poetic turn-of-phrase intermingled with each other and the narration is some of the best I’ve heard, comparable to Steven Pacey, Nathaniel Parker and Sean Barrett, all of whom I think are masters at bringing a story to life.

Off to download number three.....

One door closes, another opens

Excellent addition to the series and the broader broken empire universe. I had struggled at the beginning of with the Prince of thorns but stuck with it. The world that Mark Lawrence is slowly tying together is getting better and better. I am going to buy extra credits today as I can't wait to find out what's going to happen.

Mark Lawrence keeps improving

Story – 5/5

In my opinion, Mark Lawrence just keeps getting better and better as he writes more novels. I am enjoying the Red Queen trilogy more than the Broken Empire. I love the crossovers with the Yorg storyline, allowing a good join-up and better picture of the overall world.

The characters develop very nicely and are engrossing. The fantasy elements become even more prominent as well. There is a good mix of humour, action and sentimentality, and Lawrence is quickly becoming one of my favourite authors.

I definitely recommend to all fantasy fans, but I would say to start from Prince of Thorns and work your way through all of them to get the full enjoyment. If you don’t want to invest quite that much time or credits, starting with Prince of fools will still be good as the Broken Empire trilogy is not a Pre-requisite.


Performance –4.5/5

Sean Ohlendorf was excellent again, a perfect suit to the story in my opinion. His performance and voice acting are amongst the best, and will certainly encourage me to purchase audiobooks if his name is on them


Overall – 5/5
