Good start of a series

The fast paced story, quite interesting characters, and the use of Tarot. Will definitely continue.

New concept - novelty character within the genre

What did you like most about The Immortal Prince?

I have read pretty much everything worth reading in the fantasy genre over the last two and a half decades and thus it is very hard for me to find something with novelty character. Tide magic is a new concept, which makes the novel stand out among other fantasy works. Some components of the plot is somewhat reminiscent of Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. While many fantasy novels have a medieval setting, this novel appears to have a Baroque setting, also differentiating it from others in the same category.

What was one of the most memorable moments of The Immortal Prince?

What does John Telfer bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

John Telfer is an extremely talented narrator who managed to bring to life the different characters. He is a key reason why I enjoyed listening to the book as much as I did.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Perhaps the episode when Cayal tried to rescue his daugher Vlis instead of assassinating her.

Any additional comments?

I would say that the whole plot flowed very smoothly, I found it difficult to switch off as I was eager to find out what would happen next.
The characters are all multi-faceted and nobody is really the person they appear to be at first sight. They all have their own secrets, grudges and ambitions. The author reveals this bit by bit as the plot moves along, which kept up the suspense.

Brilliant

I wouldn't compare this to Anne Rice's Interview with a Vampire, more like Zelazny's Princes of Amber. Actually, It is a refreshing new concept altogether.
This is the second time I am listening to Jenniffer Fallon's book, and I can honestly say I am a fan. Ursula LeGuin was my favorite female SF&fantasy writer by now, but Jennifer is close competition.
The story is intriguing and kept me awake most of the night. Just couldn't stop listening. The writing is good, characters nicely developing. I am so glad there are three more books.
Second Suns trilogy grew better and better, and if this is the case here, I probably won't do any chores until I am done listening.
The narrator is great, simply flawless.

Great. A refreshingly new fantasy series.

Where does The Immortal Prince rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I always listen to a series of audiobooks and this one so far rates 2nd just one below juliette Marriliers Sevenwaters series. Just finished book 2 and am impatient to start on the next one.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Arcady and the Immortal Prince for sure but there are so many well rounded characters.

Which character – as performed by John Telfer – was your favourite?

All of them. I love his many voices, as well as his own natural speaking voice of course.

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I just find it hard to drag myself away so I listen to it even when I am doing the housework and gardening

Any additional comments?

I would highly recommend this series to those who appreciate a mature and well rounded approach to fantasy novels.

Great story and excellent narrator

A great way to start a story that drags the reader (listener) in. I didn’t have much of an expectation when I first started, but now after finishing the whole series I can say it has been quite a ride! The stort is really well put together and the story doesn’t falter in later books either. Consistent and exciting! Huge applause to the narrator, absolutely stunning with the voices that really seperates the characters and adds that extra pzazz.

An excellent story that was narrated superbly

I wasn't sure what to expect when I first started this book but I found the story to be intriguing. To put it simply: the story tells the tale of a depressed immortal ,who at one time controlled the power akin to a god, as he tries to prove his existence to a scientificly minded sceptic. However as we learn throughout this story not everything is as it seems and almost everyone has one secret or another to hide.
