À propos de cet audio

New York Times best seller

Named One of the Best Books of the Year by Buzzfeed and The Independent

Ranking alongside George R. R. Martin as a groundbreaking master of fantasy, Robin Hobb delivers the second book in her long-awaited Fitz and the Fool trilogy.

The harrowing adventures of FitzChivalry Farseer and his enigmatic friend the Fool continue in Robin Hobb’s triumphant follow-up to Fool’s Assassin. But Fool’s Quest is more than just a sequel. With the artistry and imagination her fans have come to expect, Hobb builds masterfully on all that has gone before, revealing devastating secrets and shocking conspiracies that cast a dark shadow over the history of Fitz and his world - a shadow that now stretches to darken all future hope.

Long ago, Fitz and the Fool changed the world, bringing back the magic of dragons and securing both the Farseer succession and the stability of the kingdom. Or so they thought. But now the Fool is near death, maimed by mysterious pale-skinned figures whose plans for world domination hinge upon the powers the Fool may share with Fitz’s own daughter. Distracted by the Fool’s perilous health, and swept up against his will in the intrigues of the royal court, Fitz lets down his guard . . . and in a horrible instant, his world is undone and his beloved daughter stolen away by those who would use her as they had once sought to use the Fool - as a weapon.

But FitzChivalry Farseer is not without weapons of his own. An ancient magic still lives in his veins. And though he may have let his skills as royal assassin diminish over the years, such things, once learned, are not so easily forgotten.

Now enemies and friends alike are about to learn that nothing is more dangerous than a man who has nothing left to lose.

Praise for Fool’s Quest

“A complex tapestry of adventure, betrayal, destiny, and unrelenting peril... Hobb’s expertise is evident as always.” (Publishers Weekly)

“Glorious and beautiful storytelling... Hobb lets rip with revelations, treachery, vengeance, sword fights and full on magical mayhem.” (SciFiNow)

“If readers have any doubt that Robin Hobb is one of the finest writers in the fantasy genre, then they haven’t read any of her work.” (SFFWorld)

Ce que les critiques en disent

“Hobb finds a way to always show us more details of the universe she’s been building over the course of the four previous series.... The friendship of Fitz and the Fool brings danger to them both, but it’s one of the most touching in fantasy fiction.” (Library Journal, starred review)

Narrator's accents and interpretations off putting

I have almost finished this series but am not happy with this narrator's interpretation

Terrible Narrator

I usually don't care enough to write reviews for the books I listen to, but for the sake of anyone thinking of listening to this audio book you should be aware that this narrator is not good.
Robin Hobb as always is an amazing writer but the narrator ruins a lot of the enjoyment by his constant voice changes.
From sentence to sentence he will switch from voicing Chade as a raspy old man to a young sounding noble man which is quite jarring when trying to immerse yourself in the book.
It sounds like this is a rehearsal tape where he is trying to decide how each character should sound but in the end he just gave up.
Really not sure how someone could be so lazy or forgetful that they don't remember how they voiced a character in the previous sentence let alone the previous book.
If i could give the narrators performance 0 stars i would.

Elliot is painful to listen to

so frustrated with Elliot hills changes, I hate that the fool went from a higher pitched English voice voiced greatly by Paul boehmer to low class German voice by Elliot.... the change in how certain keypoints are pronounced takes away from the story and stops you from getting pulled into the story.... I highly suggest you try to track down the UK version as Avita Jay and Lee maxwell-simons do a far better job

Great story

Robin Hobb never disappoints.
However, the narrator did!
The Fitz and Fool storyline is told in 3 trilogies. Each trilogy has been narrated by a different person. It was hard enough to make the shift after the 2nd trilogy but this one... I just couldn’t. I wish the producers and narrators would do their homework. How did the previous person pronounce a name? What did their voice/accent sound like. At least try to get close!

Why did they end with this narrator

horribly bad forced accents, also why couldn't the narrator listen to the other books and maybe go off the ones that laid the groundwork before?

terrible narrator

I am fully engrossed in this story as I have followed fitz and the fool since the beginning, however this narrator has obviously not listened to the other narration of other books and its painful! All the characters have a snooty rich aristocratic accent which doesn't make sense for most of them ( like Kettricken) Vigilante sounds like he is speaking through gritted teeth, again so painful. I will finish this series but only because I love the story will I endure this horrible narration.

The writing and Characters are phenomenal

As always Robin Hobb knocks it out of the park. Such an amazing series. I can’t wait to start the next book.

Great story! Painful narration!

Robin Hobb is a talented writer & storyteller! The continuing saga of Fitz & the Fool is spellbinding. I have now listened to The Farseer Books, The Tawney Man Books & The Liveship Traders Books. I am now 2 books into The Fitz & The Fool series. The weaving of characters past & present is entrancing. The narration of the Farseer & Liveship books was great but the narration of the Tawney Man was a drastic change from the previous narrator which took a whole book to get accustomed to. The narration of Fitz & The Fool is almost more than I can bare!! Painful!! The whispering voices as the characters skill to each other, the snooty accents of King Dutiful & Lant as well as the whiny voice of King Rein are just wrong! Both Lant & Shine are spoken through what sounds like clenched teeth. I’d about to start the 3rd book & will ensure the pain of hearing his assault of the book in order to conclude the series because the story is worth the pain.

Couldn’t Get Past The Narration

I’ve listened to and enjoyed the previous two trilogies in this series, and I somehow managed to get through the narration of the first book but I had to give up about a quarter of the way into this one. I almost never write reviews and I hate writing negative ones but the narration is just so bad, making the fool sound like Count Dracula and very little change to determine whose speaking and always whispering to make it even harder to hear. I’m not quite sure why this narrator was chosen to read the most important books of a beloved series, or why he was allowed to keep reading the series after so many people complained about the first book. Do yourself a favour and read this series instead.
