Unabridged Audiobook
Highly recommend. The book follows on 20 years from the end of the rift saga. I think you would need to read the three rift saga books before reading this. The authors website recommends reading the daughter of the empire first but not really necessary. The narrator is amazing. His normal voice is quite upper class British which I think nicely fits the old worldy style of the kingdom. And he does different voices for different characters. I think he really nicely captures the tone and mood of what he’s reading. I really enjoy the fact that although the twins are the sons of the characters we know and love they aren’t perfect by any means and how they change during the book. The themes are more mature than the rift saga books I would say due to Kesh being a bit more open in their sex lives. Doesn’t go into full sex scenes but definitely conversations and scenes of before and after any activity. Also very brief mentions of sexual assault on slaves and young girls and their not surviving that could be troubling to some. It did provide an alternate perspective to the normal western (and kingdom) monogamous culture.
