This audiobook is the second installment in a trilogy that is part of a series begun 20 years ago. Complicated plots and relationships are a hallmark of the series, and this story is no exception. Elliot Hill's narration relies on a number of accents that are distinctive but don't bear any relationship to one another in terms of class differences or the origins of the characters. The king is presented as whining and annoyingly condescending, traits that are not consistent with his character. The Fool, who is a major presence, is tiresome. The audiobook is long, and the hodgepodge of accents and attitudes does not help the time pass quickly. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine -

Hobb’s second Fitz & the Fool fantasy novel (following Fool’s Assassin) untangles numerous story lines and weaves them into a complex tapestry of adventure, betrayal, destiny, and unrelenting peril. FitzChivalry Farseer has reunited with the Fool after years of isolation. Fitz is ecstatic at finding his friend, but a horrible misunderstanding—related to the Fool’s drastically changed looks, his blindness, and his torture-scarred body—leaves Fitz feeling off-balance and as unhappy as ever. Worse, even as Fitz has found his long-lost friend, he has had to abandon his own fragile but strong-willed daughter to the untrustworthy care of servants at his holding, Withywoods. The Fool is eager for a quest of revenge, which soon meshes with Fitz’s own needs when he finds his daughter has been kidnapped. Though there is some sluggishness in places, and a bit of reliance on magic to move the plot forward, Hobb’s expertise is evident as always. Agent: Chris Lotts, Lotts Agency.
