Summary
The Traitor concludes the ruthless and gripping epic fantasy series from New York Times bestseller Anthony Ryan, whose books have sold more than a million copies worldwide.
It's been a long journey for Alwyn Scribe. Born a bastard and raised an outlaw, he's now a knight and the most trusted advisor to Lady Evadine Courlain. Together they've won countless battles and helped to bring order to a fractured kingdom.
Yet Evadine is not the woman Alwyn once knew. As puritanical fury increasingly replaces her benevolent faith, Alwyn begins to question what her true motives really are.
As the kingdom braces itself for one final battle, Alwyn's conscience fights its own war with his heart. Now, more than ever, he must decide whose side he's really on.

Very good tale
Extremely entertaining, interesting characters, and a pleasing narrator. All in place for an enjoyable escape into a fantasy/medieval world with magic and intrigue.

The tale continues
The life of a scribe continues to show itself convoluted! Well read - though at times the recording jumps which breaks the spell.

A change of style from the first two books.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but for my taste, it didn't match up to the first two books of the trilogy due to
the change of emphasis towards the spiritual / magical.
Although the denouement worked, it often felt like the author needed a convenient ending to this trilogy whilst setting up the next one rather than it being a natural conclusion.

Good trilogy
Enjoyed the story but would have liked a slightly longer ending tying up things a bit neater. Good trilogy overall. Narrator struggled with accents and consistency but didn't detract too much.

Overall enjoyable with minor reservations
First off Steven Brand’s narration is superb. That alone keeps you listening.
As for the story, I personally quite enjoy rambling through a fantasy world for hours on end but, in truth, the series is too long and would benefit from being a bit shorter. A couple of battles/sword fights too many. They are all a bit the same and my interest definitely waned at times.
I would agree to some extent with those reviewers who find aspects of the story implausible but then again it’s fantasy. It’s not meant to be realistic. Nevertheless it wasn’t clear to me how the Covenant Host, having swept all before them, suddenly became a shambolic fighting force.
There were quite a number of annoying little glitches in the recording which shouldn’t have got passed quality control but not so bad as to materially diminish one’s enjoyment of the book.

Stunning
I love the storytelling of Anthony Ryan. And it does not fail. Great caracterdevelopment and twists in the story. The only issue is the jumps and cuts in the recording.
