Editor's Review ★★★☆★

AudioBook Atlas

Rachel Atkins delivers an outstanding performance as narrator, perfectly capturing the tension and drama of 'The Wilful Princess and the Piebald Prince.' Her voice is both commanding and empathetic, making it easy to follow the intricate plot. The story itself is a masterclass in political intrigue; Hobb’s writing paints vivid pictures of power struggles and personal betrayals that feel fresh even after multiple readings. However, some listeners might find the pacing slightly rushed at times, which occasionally detracts from fully appreciating the subtleties of the narrative. Despite this minor critique, 'The Wilful Princess' remains a compelling addition to any Farseer fan’s collection.
